Flag football: This year, the Pro Bowl; up next, the Olympics?

Reese wanted to put flag football in the World Games. He didn't mention the idea to Vincent for several months. The NFL had asked him to run its flagfootball leagues, not put the sport in Olympics. Two years later, 16 teams from 10 countries played a flagFootball tournament at the world games. It was announced that flag Football is on the list of sports being considered for Los Angeles 2028. The Olympic bid is an unusually organic movement for the NFL. NFL is not heavily advertising its Olympic hopes. Instead, it uses subtle presentations. Next month’s Pro Bowl in Las Vegas will be a football-themed event.

Reese wants to bring football to the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028. NFL executives are fully behind his idea.

How the NFL is trying to land a foothold in Australia

Five weeks ago Charlotte Offord quietly landed in Australia, but she's sheepish when I ask where the NFL's new Australian office is. "At the moment it's at my house," Offord laughs. It might seem incongruous that the biggest and most capitalistic American sports league of them all, the one that leagues across the world model themselves on, is…
