It’s not news that flag football will be introduced in the LA Olympics ’28 for the world to witness and fans are evidently awaiting the moment. Recently, the NFL released a video of Jalen Hurts, lighting up the Olympics torch and saying, “It’s our turn,” and Darrell Doucette, the QB of USA’s National flag football team, didn’t like it.

Doucette thinks that the NFL just opened the doors of the Olympics for their own and it’s disrespectful to the players who have been grinding for a long time to get their names up on the roster of the sport to not even be acknowledged properly. ESPN just made a post on Instagram highlighting Doucette’s comments on NFL players joining the flag football team.

Doucette was quoted in the picture saying, “I think it’s disrespectful that they just automatically assume that they’re able to just join the Olympic team because of the person that they are — they didn’t help grow this game to get to the Olympics.” However, instead of receiving any sympathies from NFL fans, people starting calling out the US QB about his reaction.

Taking a brutal hit at the player, one fan wrote, “All 32 starting NFL qb’s would start over him in the Olympics,” while another said, “Alright bro, go pro and play flag in the Olympics.”

“Dude there is no way Patrick Mahomes ain’t taking your spot buddy,” said another person, acknowledging the Chiefs star player’s contributions to the sport.  Ardently taking a dig at Darrell’s absence from the football league, one spectator wrote, “I’m gonna guess NFL QBs are in the NFL for a reason.” A follower even highlighted the fear that resonated from Doucette’s comment, stating, “I think bros scared to lose his job lol.”
