Los Angeles — Team USA's national flag football squad defeated two teams composed of NFL stars at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic on Saturday at BMO Stadium, sweeping round-robin play and winning the championship game as the exhibition previewed the sport's Olympic debut in 2028. The wins produced immediate recognition and a reported $100,000 payout per Team USA player this week; MVP Darrell Doucette delivered perfect passing and multi-score production, while organizers and athletes cited the event as a benchmark ahead of Los Angeles 2028 and broader promotion of the sport.
