2028 Olympics: Gronkowski wants to play for flag football team

Rob Gronkowski now voiced possible comeback plans for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

After retiring from the NFL in 2022 following four Super Bowl victories, Rob Gronkowski has now voiced possible comeback plans.

Former Patriots and Buccaneers star “Gronk” wants to compete for the USA in flag football at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

“Hopefully there are no tryouts and they just take me in,” Gronkowski jokingly told “TMZ”, “I’m fine, the body is healed, I train all the time.”

For him, therefore, it’s a foregone conclusion: “I’m in if there’s flag football at the 2028 Olympics. “

The fact that flag football will be one of the sports at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles is considered as good as certain.

The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has approved the programme proposals of the organisers of the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles and, in addition to cricket, baseball/softball, lacrosse and squash, flag football was also included.

Gronkowski pleads for NFL flag football league

By the time of the Los Angeles Olympics, Gronkowski would be 39 years old, but still trusts himself to be physically able to continue playing flag football for the U.S. until then.

“I don’t miss going out there and getting fucked,” Gronkowski said, looking back on his NFL career, “but I can say this: if there was a flag football league – an NFL flag football league, I’d be playing in it right now. “
