Should Football Be In the Olympics?

A hot debate has emerged through the years about whether or not American Football should be played in the Olympics. A common myth about American Football is that it is only played in America. Jordan Vandiver explains that the International Federation of American Football has 45 member associations and that Japan has 60 teams by itself. So the game is obviously played outside of the U.S., so why not have it in the Olympics? I understand that at first the USA team would be extremely dominant, but I also believe it would kickstart international interest in the game. Right now, soccer is the most popular sport in the world, hands down. But if football is so popular in America, why wouldn't it be popular around the world? I think having American Football in the Olympics would be a good idea not only in the interest of the Olympics but the sport itself. I could see it being slow at first, but given time I think football could easily become a great success for the Olympics and maybe even surpass soccer as being the most popular sport worldwide. It's the greatest sport in the world; how could anyone not like it?
