Wonder how this will go.
NFL players will be going for gold in the summer of 2028.
NFL owners passed a resolution, 32-0, on Tuesday at the Spring League Meeting that will allow league players to try out to participate in flag football during the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
A maximum of one player from each team will be allowed to participate and each club's designated international player is also permitted to take part for his country.
"I think this news represents a great opportunity for the sport, for the NFL," Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters Tuesday after the announcement. "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.
