Flag Football will make its Olympic debut in 2028, and the Kansas City Chiefs star Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is dying to get his shot at a Gold medal.
The 2028 Summer Olympics are coming to Los Angeles, California, and what better Hollywood story than to have the GOAT Patrick Mahomes play for Team USA. Think about the marketing buzz this would generate!
Flag football is one of the 5 sports that have been added to the Olympic rotation starting with the 2028 Olympic games by the International Olympic Committee, as well as Cricket, Baseball-Softball, Lacrosse and Squash; which I had to look up because I thought that was a made up game, but apparently Squash is defined as a “racket-and-ball sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court with a small, hollow, rubber ball.” Why didn’t they just refer to it as Racquetball, which everyone knows is a sport that rich people play in their private country clubs. Then everyone would have known what they were talking about.
I’m just waiting for Pickleball to be picked up by the Olympics, then a geriatric Gen-Xer like me would have a shot at being in the Olympics. Until then I’ll just have to continue pursuing my dream of medaling in the Winter Olympics sport of Curling.
