Here's a wrap: Flag Football is set to storm into the 2028 Olympic Games in sunny LA, and NBA legend, Patrick Mahomes, is giving it a miss. Ruh-roh!
KC, baby! Patrick Mahomes, the beloved NFL powerhouse for the Kansas City Chiefs, is giving this one a pass. "I'm gonna chill on that one," the 29-year-old spitfire told press after a team event. Seems he'll be a sneaky 32 when the LA Games kick off, a tad past his prime.
Alrighty then, in May, the bigwigs at the NFL got the green light for pros to join the Olympic debut of Flag Football. Here's the rundown: Each team fields five players, smaller than a soccer pitch, but are rewarded with touchdowns, just like the old ball game. But catch this - opponents don't go down from hits but from yanking off tags on their belts. Bam!
Looking ahead to the LA Games in 2028, Flag Football will witness a men's and women's competition, featuring six teams of ten players each, vying for bronze, silver, and golden glory. Watch this space!
