The NFL is launching professional flag football leagues for both men and women, Commissioner Roger Goodell says

Goodell noted the rapid growth in flag-football participation at youth and collegiate levels, underscoring efforts to create a structured pipeline starting from youth leagues through high school and college, eventually reaching professional play. “If you set that structure up where there’s youth leagues, going into high school, into college and then professional, I think you can develop a system of scale. That’s an important infrastructure that we need to create,” Goodell said.
