The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will see the return of baseball and cricket, and the debut of flag football, following the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach's approval. The sports lineup has been expanded to include lacrosse and squash as well. This diversification, including the potential participation of NFL players in flag football under USA Football, is part of the IOC's strategy to attract a wider audience. These sports will join the existing Olympic sports, providing athletes an opportunity to display their skills on the world stage.

As if the NFL needed more prosperity or popularity, the inclusion of flag football at the Olympics will give it just that. International curiosity and about the game beyond what it now has, and constant discussion for years of which players are going to play. Business boon.
