Football should be in the Olympics. Or at least Punt Pass & Kick.

Why do I have the feeling that the hypocrisy of trying to pretend that football is different —because of money, let’s be honest — is going to reach absurd levels very quickly?

You guys are misreading that report. Football was not excluded. It simply wasn't impacted by the decision. The ACC football season starts on September 2nd.

Some Olympic sports start with games in late August.
