Bills QB Josh Allen Expresses Interest Representing USA Flag Football Team at 2028 Olympics

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has expressed strong interest in representing the United States in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, following the NFL's approval for players to compete in the sport. Allen described competing for his country as a great honor and said he would absolutely love the opportunity, though he also respects current flag football players and their place on the team. Flag football, a fast-paced, non-contact variation of traditional football, will feature a five-on-five format and is making its Olympic debut in 2028. Allen's enthusiasm contrasts with other NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes, who declined the opportunity and faced criticism for it. The inclusion of NFL players is expected to boost the sport's profile at the Olympics, though players must balance national pride with their professional commitments and health. Allen's potential Olympic participation would be a significant moment, especially with the Games taking place close to his hometown in California.
