“I’m very excited,” he told FOX Business by phone about the partnership with Unpopular Games. “When we started this back in 2017 and we created FNA, it was basically the idea of making the gold standards in Greeks. Basically, when I played in pubs and clubs.
“So, it wasn’t just that I was coming to someone who played the game, but someone who had kids who wanted to play.

Unparalleled Flag has the same ambitions as FNA, and they are ready to bring their great resources to the table to help expand the flags, including senior flag girls, and youth world competitions. “

Brees proved first hand what an impact American football has on the world given his time in the NFL and his knowledge of their international sports. But as he analyzed Netflix’s Christmas Day football broadcast last season, he saw millions of viewers tuned in to not only watch the game, but also ask NFL Redzone Host Scott Hanson questions about the game.
“The viewership was crazy and it’s just available,” Brees said at the time. “So, that was eye-opening for me to see how many people around the world have a passion for American football.”
When it comes to the game itself, Brees believes Flag Soccer is a “Gateway Sport,” giving kids the opportunity to learn many different things that they can take to other sports and everyday life.
“Back in the day, you can say the first thing you put on your ball. But I think in most cases now, I see young kids playing flag football for the first time out of five,” Brese said. “I see a ton of girls doing it again, which hasn’t been the case. It’s at a time when flag football is becoming a gateway sport for so many kids.”

With a shared determination and drive to continue to impact children and communities across the country, Unsanctioned Sports and the FNA are poised to work in tandem to impact the future of Flag Football and youth sports as a whole.
“Partnerships that cannot be avoided simply add fuel to the fire because of unaligned leadership, access to incredible resources,” Brees said. “They run some great facilities around the country that are going to be hosting some really signature events when it comes to the football series that I think is out there in other parks.”
