IOC approves flag football for 2028 Olympics, and Tyreek Hill is interested: 'Sign the Cheetah up'
Flag football would be a 5-on-5 event played on a 50-yard field with no offensive or defensive linemen.
Hmmmmmm. One more venue to build?

This is the Los Angeles games. I imagine there are plenty of football fields (at colleges and such). For that matter, is the main stadium usually used for something during the first week? Track and field events usually don't start until the second week.

Some college dudes in run and shoot offenses that don’t make the nfl should start training for this after this season. They would ball out.

In 5 years? Probably a lot. It's not like it doesn't exist.

Since they are including flag football, can we also add "capture the flag" as an Olympic sport?
There's a fair bit of Soccer scheduled for SoFi. Also, they may want it in a smaller venue seatwise.
Weingart stadium the same stadium hosted the field hockey games in 1984
Or UCLA drake stadium

I find that very unlikely. Just like how NBA players don't play in the 3 on 3 tournament, or pro soccer players don't play in the Futsal or Beach World Cups.

Interesting. I know flag football as a kid's game - has anyone ever seen it played between adults? Is it interesting to watch?

I officiated intramural flag football in college. We played 7v7, no rush counts so teams played with linemen, but everybody was eligible. Some of the teams were a lot of un to watch, including the IU Baseball team, that would usually win the top division (former coach/current Michigan baseball coach Tracy Smith would play QB, which was funny since he was so much older than everyone else). Also played a couple of seasons of rec in my early 20s.
It's fine for scaled down football, but not a sport I'd want to watch on TV. Rugby Sevens is a better game, IMO.
