The NFL is advocating for team owners to support active players’ participation in the 2028 Olympics flag football tournament, proposing that only one player per team be allowed, which could lead to contentious selections among players. Key issues include who will choose the team, whether a qualification process will be established, and concerns about player injuries, as owners prefer a carefully selected roster. Additionally, there are debates over the relevance of NFL players competing, with opinions like U.S. flag football quarterback Darrell “Housh” Doucette suggesting that current players may not be the best picks.
