NFL approves players in '28 Games, but hurdles remain

NFL stars could join Olympic teams through flag football, a move that requires careful planning. Eligibility would prioritize skill over fame, with structured training opportunities available without disrupting their professional careers. Coaches specializing in flag football will help players adapt quickly. A clear pathway exists for interested NFL players, but collaboration between USA Football and NFL teams is key to ensure logistical support and cultural fit. Legal frameworks allow this participation as an amateur sport. While feasible, success depends on effective teamwork and addressing challenges like career impacts upfront.
