They have Little Person Bowling where a little person agrees to be the Bowling ball.
Around the Goal line, a little person could hold onto the ball and then be thrown over the pile by another player for a touch down.
This would put the NFL in another Politically Charged situation where some players Kneel to stop it and others want to allow it.
Baseball tried a version of this with the smaller strike zone, small person as the batter decades & decades ago. It was successful at first.
A tough little person (or Gio) that can hang onto the football could make millions yet the Commissioner could bow to Political pressure to stop it.
The NFL would go against Trump's initial reaction to it at first, go in circles on the issue for a few years and then go with Trump's initial reaction later which would likely be to let any tough little person that wants to do it, shine in the role and make millions.
