Aaron Jones, the Minnesota Vikings running back, has voiced his enthusiasm for potentially representing Team USA in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. He believes that earning a gold medal is a significant honor, alongside serving in the military. NFL executive Troy Vincent also supports the idea, emphasizing that representing one's country is a fulfilling dream for players. The sentiment is shared among other NFL stars, indicating a collective interest in Olympic participation for the sport.
'Flag football players may be upset at me for this, but yes, I would absolutely love it,' Jones said. 'Every other sport gets an opportunity to win a gold medal, and if you're not serving your country in the military, I feel like that's the other highest honor that you can represent your country in.'
'Man, that notion of being able to represent your country, whether you're going to represent Team USA, Asia, Mexico -- whatever -- that's the ultimate dream,' said NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent.
