LONDON (AP) — The NFL plans to launch women’s and men’s professional flag football leagues “in the next couple of years,” Commissioner Roger Goodell said Thursday. The timeline outlined by Goodell at a sports conference in London would see the leagues created ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, which will feature flag football for the first time. “We’re committed to creating a women’s professional league, and a men’s professional flag league. The league has prioritized flag football as a way to attract young fans, both male and female. “Again, I think football — and sports in general — I do think bring communities together.
