Finally, gridiron fans will also have a sport in the Olympics. Though the 2028 LA Olympics doesn’t include the sport in its raw form, flag football is set to draw the spectators. Not only the players, but even the NFL legends are waiting with excitement. Tom Brady is one of them. He recently showed love for the sport.
All of this happened in a video he uploaded on his YouTube channel on November 7. He answered questions from fans, including one asking if he saw himself as a youth football coach. His reply, “I see myself more as a flag football coach,” showed his support for the game. The GOAT is a fan of flag football.
However, Tom Brady followed it up with a stern warning. To whom? He was asked if he could give life lessons to the youth football players. He sternly answered, “You know what I can’t deal with, youth football parents. Don’t be a crazy parent there.” That’s about right. If TB12 ever became a coach and put his players through the crazy amount of hard work and dedication he had as a player, parents would be crazy.
