OnT: The last few Team Americas have been college kids with the most profilic players being from programs like Purdue and Wake Forest. I really don't see any Pro players suting up for this one.

If I played for a team like the Jaguars or some random scrub franchise, I'd go just for the novelty of it. Might not get a Lombardi, but I got dem gold medals b***h.

We could probably have people from the zone suit up for the United States and win a gold medal. Your local flag football team could be world champions.
This has Rodger Goodell's grubby little finger prints all over it. SMH.
I don't see it happening. Why? Many events were removed simply because of logistics for sports that require so much space(beds and playing venue) and money for one event or gold medal.

It is also based on world wide participation. Europe has I believe 60 percent of the voting rights while the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the middle east combine to represent only 40%.

You're nuts if you think the rest of the world is that far behind in their development of the sport. Mexico has had a highly competitive league for years, as does Australia and certain Pacific Islands...and we already know the CFL isn't that much below the level of the NFL in terms of talent.
