Flag football is coming to the Olympics! Though not in 2024, it is set to hit the gridiron in Los Angeles during the Olympics in 2028. Just like other stars of the NFL, Tyreek Hill has his own set of views on the concept of flag football. The Dolphins‘ WR said something that motivated the inclusion of the new concept of football into the Olympics.

Hill has recently kicked off his FLAG program for aspiring boys and girls in South Florida. He further took to social media to express his love and admiration for the innovative concept of the NFL. “Love what the NFL doing with this flag football with youth” is what Tyreek Hill posted on his X account.

Moreover, the Dolphins’ WR talked in support of the NFL’s efforts in pushing the new era of football. Hindered by time constraints and high risks of injury, the Olympics left out the NFL from its list of games. On the other hand, being a non-contact sport, flag football suits best for the youth, reducing the chances of injuries. Thus, it became a promoting factor for the inclusion of flag football into the Olympics.

After the announcement, Tyreek Hill made a bold prediction on Twitter. “No question the nfl will be more of a global sport in the next 10 years” is what he said with respect to the future of the sport. But that’s about Hill’s views on the NFL being a global sport in the next 10 years. Where does he see himself amidst the flag football Olympics buzz in 2028? Can we see him playing with the other stars in the 2024 Olympics?

Hill has expressed his interest to play in the flag football during the 2028 Olympics. “Calling all NFL guys,” Hill said, “let’s bring one home”, said the Dolphins’ WR on X. The interest came from a dream to qualify for the U.S. Olympic track and field team, just before the pandemic came as a blow. Getting the chance to finally represent his nation, the ‘Cheetah’ is not going to miss the opportunity to grab the Gold in Los Angeles. But that’s only about the flag football scenario. What about the NFL? Are they planning to move up to the global stages?

Well, it’s no surprise that the NFL has announced 9 upcoming international matches for their 2024 season. Those matches will include Germany, Spain, London, and Brazil as the landing spots for the players. Moreover, the Corinthians Arena will be the home of the first NFL game in South America. On the other hand, Madrid will see the first-ever NFL match in Spain. “Taking our game to more fans around the world is a major priority for the league and its 32 teams, and we are delighted to be returning to London and Munich in 2024” said Peter O’Reilly, an executive vice president at the NFL.

It feels so good to see the sport grow on different global stages. Where else do you want to see the NFL land?
