The NFL is considering allowing its players to compete in Olympic flag football during the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. A proposal limits participation to one player per team, provides injury protection, and requires alignment with NFL schedules. As one of the new Olympic sports, flag football has a strong standing in the U.S. with a winning men's team. The resolution emphasizes the NFL's commitment to flag football's growth and sets requirements for player safety and medical standards during the Games.
Flag football's Olympic debut "represents an exciting new chapter for the sport," said LA28 president Casey Wasserman, highlighting the significance of this inclusion.
The proposed resolution would allow NFL players to try out for Olympic flag football teams while ensuring injury protections and safeguarding NFL commitments during the Olympics.
