The National Football League is throwing its muscle and capital behind a push to get flag football onto the 2028 Los Angles Olympics program as it looks to grow its global footprint.
When it comes to football nothing happens without the NFL’s involvement or approval, says American Flag Football League founder Jeff Lewis, and that will be the case with efforts to secure flag a spot on the 2028 Summer Games roster.
“In all things football, at the end of the day the most important driving force at some level ends up being the NFL,” Lewis told Reuters in an interview.

Lorenzo Taliaferro, a former bruising back for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL, died suddenly in his home in Virginia. He was 28 years old.
First responders were dispatched to Taliaferro’s apartment in Williamsburg, a 50-mile drive east of Richmond, where they found Taliaferro, but would only say that he required immediate medical attention, the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office stated in its report according to
Yahoo Sports.
Taliaferro was raced to the emergency room of Riverside Doctors’ Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. A family member later told local station WBFF-TV Fox45 in Baltimore that Taliaferro died of a heart attack.
