On Tuesday, NFL owners passed a resolution, 32-0, at the Spring League Meeting to allow league players to participate in flag football during the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.
"I think this news represents a great opportunity for the sport, for the NFL," Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters. "It's truly the next step in making NFL football and football a global sport for men and women of all ages and all opportunities across the globe. We think that's the right thing to do, and this is a big step in accomplishing that."
The NFL also revealed that they'll begin working with the NFLPA in an effort to permit former and retired players to also try out for the Olympic flag football team.
