Speaking at a panel on sports diplomacy at The Stimson Center in Washington, Vincent highlighted concerns over how the country is viewed globally, particularly in the context of flag football's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Vincent emphasized the importance of presenting a positive image, stating, "We’ve got one chance, because it may not ever come back."
