**NFL Stars Eye Flag Football at 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles**
Several prominent NFL players have shown enthusiasm for participating in flag football at the upcoming Summer Olympics, set to take place in the United States in 2028. The NFL recently announced that team owners will deliberate on a resolution regarding the eligibility of active players for the Los Angeles Games.
In a statement last month, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell highlighted the growing interest among players in representing their countries, whether the United States or their nations of origin. He indicated that discussions on this topic would continue with both the players’ union and team owners, with a resolution expected within the next two months.
The proposed resolution would allow one player from each NFL team to compete in the Olympics, with an exemption for designated international players representing their home countries. Additionally, the resolution includes provisions for injury protection and salary cap credits for players who sustain injuries while participating in the Games, as well as agreements on field surface standards.
Flag football will make its Olympic debut in 2028, alongside four other new sports: baseball/softball, cricket, lacrosse, and squash. The Olympics are scheduled to commence in mid-July, and it is anticipated that the event will not conflict with NFL training camp schedules.
