“Plans for an NFL-supported flag football league took a major step forward Wednesday, with teams voting to invest up to $32 million in total to support the “development and launch” of a pro flag league.
The vote, held virtually during a league meeting, gives 32 Equity - the NFL’s investment arm - the ability to “enter into an agreement with a partner” to operate the planned league. Approval was unanimous, a source familiar with the matter tells Front Office Sports. There are 32 NFL teams, so the $32 million total is equivalent to each team committing $1 million.”
