There is no denying the National Football League (NFL) is a juggernaut $20 billion dollar industry, expanding into new markets—including girls flag football, where it hopes to “make girls flag football a varsity sport in all 50 states.”
Misandry on parade. Showing the unbelievable dominance of girls over boys in sports is a delusional act of buying into girl power in a place where it simply does not exist. Boys as young as 14 beat the women's world record in a number of areas. Let's give boys their due in arenas where they excel. https://menaregood.substack.com/p/men-women-sports-and-gynocentrism
Agree the methods fell into the typical ‘males bad’ stereotype. The groin hit also seemed unnecessary, but this again falls into the accepted violence toward men that is brushed off as a funny event. Ultimately, I will have a hard time supporting this movement as it would be better served as a ‘flag football for all’ approach. Such a safety and health risk gap exists between the 2 sports. Just like we allow women to play full kit football in school (think mainly just as kickers currently), we should have flag football open to ALL interested kids regardless of gender.
Disgusting stereotyping reminding me of west side story to the extreme. Pits females and males against each other and is too corny to take seriously. And the blatant disrespect for the principal is irritating to those of us who teach our children respect to all. I would have rather have had them promoting woman’s field hockey, which is not played in many states. Ugh on this dumb commercial
Sorry, I don't know anything about the sports scene. Is this about an all-female team or about one with both male and female players? And what is "flag football"? The answers might explain to me what this grotesque commercial is trying to say or satirize.

Girls flag football is a smart move by the NFL. But pitting girls against boys is unnecessary and so delusional.
