NFL Olympic Decision Expected Soon, Says Goodell

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has suggested that a resolution regarding the league's involvement in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics could be reached in the near future. With flag football making its Olympic debut, several NFL players have expressed interest in representing their countries.

During a recent press conference, Goodell stated that discussions are ongoing and that a decision is expected soon. He emphasized the potential benefits of NFL participation, highlighting the opportunity to showcase the sport to a global audience.

"We are actively evaluating the possibility of allowing our players to participate in the 2028 Olympics," Goodell said. "We recognize the significance of the Olympic Games and the opportunity it presents to promote flag football worldwide."

The NFL's participation would require careful consideration of scheduling and player safety. The league would need to coordinate with the International Olympic Committee to ensure that participation does not conflict with the NFL season and that appropriate safety measures are in place for the athletes.

While no formal announcement has been made, Goodell's comments suggest that the NFL is seriously considering the possibility of allowing its players to compete in the 2028 Olympics, a move that could significantly elevate the profile of flag football globally.
