ABundy33 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Who else agrees that football should be made into an Olympic sport? It sounds a little wild, but I think it can work perfectly! Peyton Manning is currently involved in a campaign to have this process move ahead. He is fully supporting this campaign. I'm writing on behalf of weplay.com and want everyone to sign a petition in support of football becoming an Olympic sport. Just go to the following link and sign the petition so we can get another gold! http://www.weplay.com/olympic-football?src=WO_PR_PG Tell a friend!

Big John Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Football olympic thread but no petition. BTW, the way it is worded, the IOC would say that football is already an olympic sport. As in this is what many foreign nations call soccer.

MrTed46 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 How would you be able to play that many games in a short period of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprofessor Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The US would dominate even more so than Basketball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperCharger Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 American Football just isn't played or watched or very well liked outside of the US. Wouldn't make a very good olympic sport. Honestly, I'd like to keep NFL style football to ourselves here in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I dont see how our players can play a regular season then go play in the olympics then come back and play another season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Who would they play? I don't think a single other country would even field a team. Then again we (Canada) should be guaranteed a silver in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Who else agrees that football should be made into an Olympic sport? Not me. Thanks for asking tho. In fact, I think it's about the lamest idea I've heard in a while. There must be dozens of non-Americans world wide who play the game so why not? When we were in Spain last September, we met this Irish couple (wow, there's two huddler names, I digress) in a bar. Dude and I started talking sports. He seemed to be quite into them. Well, at least soccer and such. He had never heard of Ladanian Tomlinson. Mind you, he's only one of the top 2-3 players in the entire world at the sport. That pretty much sums up the world's interest in US Football. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Is this serious? With baseball getting the boot, someone thinks football is going to make the Olympics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
