The Fanatics Flag Football Classic — featuring a loaded roster of current and former NFL stars headlined by Tom Brady and Saquon Barkley — will be played next March in Saudi Arabia.
The event will be televised by Fox and play under Olympics rules ahead of the sport’s debut at the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles — and amid its domestic explosion at the youth level.
My immediate reactions:
1) Tom Brady is definitely thinking about being Team USA’s QB at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
2) Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund must be paying so much money that active players are not worried about injuries and voiding their contracts.
3) Youth flag football is only going to grow in exposure and popularity with household names and star players participating.
