Flag football will be among the new sports under consideration by the International Olympic Committee when the organization weighs the athletic slate for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The Associated Press' Eddie Pells reported Monday the L.A. organizing committee submitted a formal proposal to the IOC ahead of its annual session. Baseball, softball, lacrosse, squash and cricket are among the other sports that will be studied for inclusion.
Pells noted the IOC caps its number of overall participants to 10,500 athletes, so adding any new sports might require scaling back in other disciplines.
