NFL Stars Snubbed for Olympic Flag Football

0:00On April 5th, Flag football set to debut at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, but don't expect a squad stack with NFL stars. Denver Broncos hit coach Sean Payton says he'd be shocked if even one current pro makes team USA's roster. Two weeks back, Payton coached a team full of active and XNFL players in a flag tournament. They got straight dominated by the actual USA flag team in Round Rob and Play. Payton called the beat down humbling, comparing it to those bumbling crooks in home alone, getting wrecked. He pointed out flags a whole different beast quick cuts, starts and stops that NFL tackle guys aren't prime for. Those pros would need a full month or two to adjust, but that's time they can't spare with NFL training camps looming. Meanwhile, recruiters are eyeing women's talent from college basketball, snagging point guards who thrive on speed and agility. With the NFL launching its own pro flag league soon, Olympic spots look locked for dedicated flag athletes. This shifts opening real doors, especially for women chasing football dreams.
