NFL Players Cleared to Compete in Flag Football at 2028 Olympics
In a historic decision, NFL owners have unanimously voted to allow active players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. This new development has stirred a mix of excitement and concern among players, fans, and coaches alike. While some stars, such as Justin Jefferson, have expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to compete for Olympic gold, others, like A.J. Brown, have already indicated they will not participate due to potential conflicts with training camp. The announcement has ignited discussions on building the best possible Team USA for Olympic flag football, with speculations about top players potentially joining the squad. Nevertheless, the league remains cautious about how this will impact the regular NFL season, especially concerning player health and training commitments.
