Flag Football Will Be An Olympic Sport at the 2028 Games

Flag football, lacrosse, cricket, and squash will be Olympic sports at the 2028 Games at Los Angeles as well as the return of baseball and softball.

Is anyone excited about it?
I am! :blush:

Just … no.

I saw a headline that they are looking at adding eSports to the Olympics too.

Sheesh. :roll_eyes:

Not a huge fan of team sports in the Olympics, which should focus more on individual accomplishments.

Why not?
I think it’s a great idea. I also think bowling should be an Olympic sport as well.

How long until pickleball will be an Olympic sport?

A big :+1: for all three of the “American” sports. Lacrosse is cool too. I could not care less about cricket and squash. What’'s next? Croquet?

Why? Team players have to work just as hard as any other athlete, and they are only eligible for one medal. It’s the swimmers, gymnasts and to a large extent, track and field athletes who have the opportunity to win lots of individual medals … plus team medals as well.

Hair straightening should be an Olympic sport as well…

Great to see more sports added and yes esports is a sport.
