The NFL will be voting next week on a potential avenue to allow players to participate in the flag football even at the 2028 Summer Olympics.

 

According to the resolution, "participation by NFL players in flag football during the 2028 Olympics will support growth and advance several league interests, including increasing fan and public interest in flag football, expanding global reach of the NFL, and providing greater opportunities for fan engagement and league partners."

 

The resolution establishes certain rules, such as one player per team participating in games, purchase of league-wide insurance policies for injury protection, and medical staffs and field surfaces that comply with NFL standards.

 

Owners will meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Minnesota to consider the resolution, with Commissioner Roger Goodell, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and other league officials showing consistent support in the motion.
