“Nobody is going to watch that garbage”: NFL fans react to Tom Brady unretiring rumors ahead of 2028 Flag Football Olympics

On May 21, the popular football X profile, MLFootball, asked whether former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady should represent the United States of America in the 2028 Olympics in flag football.

Earlier in the week, it was announced that NFL players would be eligible to compete in flag football at the 2028 Olympics after NFL owners agreed to the decision.

"SHOULD TOM BRADY BE THE STARTING QUARTERBACK FOR TEAM USA IN THE 2028 FLAG FOOTBALL OLYMPICS…?." the post was captioned, alongside a photo of Brady wearing a Team USA jersey.

In response, some NFL fans made it clear that Brady starting for Team USA would not be the right decision. Some even made clear that nobody would watch the event in general.

"No. And nobody is going to watch that garbage," one fan wrote.

"Nah, Mahomes would dominate the flag football field 🏈," another fan said.

"Flag football shouldnt be in the Olympics. Either have real football or don't include it at all," a fan commented.

Meanwhile, others made clear that they would like to see Brady leading Team USA.

"Yes," one fan tweeted.

"I’ll support that," another fan wrote.

"Go and get a gold medal Tom," a fan posted.

Will Tom Brady start at QB for Team USA?

Brady is arguably the greatest NFL player of all time. He is a seven-time Super Bowl champion, a five-time Super Bowl MVP, a three-time MVP and a 15-time Pro Bowler. However, like most players in the NFL, Brady does not have an Olympic gold medal.

However, it is extremely unlikely that Brady will be the one leading Team USA come the 2028 Olympics. With superstar NFL players like Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow all in the prime of their careers, it seems much more likely that one of those elite QBs will be the one leading USA.

According to Sportsbook Review, Jackson had the best odds to be the starting QB of Team USA at +200. The next best odds were Jayden Daniels at +300, Allen at +500, Kyler Murray at +600 and Mahomes at +800. Brady's current odds are much lower at +25000.
