NFLPA: We fully support our player members participating in the Olympics
Earlier on Thursday, the league announced that owners will consider a resolution for active players to participate in the 2028 Olympics at next week's spring meeting.
The NFLPA has now formally endorsed the idea.
'We fully support our player members participating in the Olympics and taking this opportunity to represent their country on the highest international stage,' the NFLPA said in a statement, via Mark Maske of the Washington Post.
It remains to be seen whether or not owners will approve the resolution, which would allow current players to play flag football at the event in Los Angeles. The resolution calls for a maximum of one player per franchise on any Olympic team. While that means only one player per club could be on Team USA, another player from the same NFL franchise could represent a different country.

Kendrick Perkins blames LeBron James, Dwyane Wade for breaking up Thunder Big 3
The post Kendrick Perkins blames LeBron James, Dwyane Wade for breaking up Thunder Big 3 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Former NBA center Kendrick Perkins pointed to LeBron James and Dwyane Wade as key influences behind the breakup of the Oklahoma City Thunder's young core, citing conversations from the 2012 Olympics that he believes swayed James Harden's decision to seek a larger role elsewhere. Advertisement Speaking on The Zach Lowe Show ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder's NBA Finals Game 1 matchup against the Indiana Pacers, Perkins shared his perspective on the breakup of the Thunder's Big 3 — Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden. 'We could blame LeBron, D-Wade, all those other guys that were on the 2012 Olympics on why the young Thunder Big 3 were broken up,' Perkins said. 'Because they put into James [Harden's] head that he needed to be the man. And they were right though—James did what was best for James.' Perkins added that despite the eventual split, he valued being part of a historically talented group. 'But I will say this: in those times I got to see growth and I got to experience growth, and be part of greatness. Especially when you look at Kevin Durant, when Russell Westbrook went out. His MVP season and what he was doing. How he was playing that point forward.' Kendrick Perkins blames LeBron and Wade for Thunder Big 3 breakup that followed 2012 Finals run The 2011–12 Thunder, led by Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, reached the NBA Finals before falling to the Miami Heat in five games. That Miami team featured James and Wade, who, according to Perkins, played a role in convincing Harden of his star potential during their time together on the Olympic team later that summer. Advertisement Following the 2012 Olympics, the Thunder traded Harden to the Houston Rockets after failing to reach a contract extension. The decision ended one of the league's most promising young trios, all of whom would go on to win MVP awards individually — Durant in 2014, Westbrook in 2017, and Harden in 2018. That Oklahoma City team also included Serge Ibaka and Perkins, forming a core that many believed could contend for multiple titles. The breakup remains one of the most debated what-if scenarios in recent NBA history. Since the breakup, each player has built a decorated career. Durant won two championships with the Golden State Warriors. Westbrook became the first player since Oscar Robertson to average a triple-double over a full season. Harden developed into one of the league's most prolific scorers during his time with the Houston Rockets. The Thunder, now led by MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, will return to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012 on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC. They will host the Indiana Pacers at Paycom Center.

Triple Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon says ‘it's possible' after failing in run at four-minute mile
'I gave everything today to try, it was not about running a tactical race,' Kipyegon said. 'It was the first trial. I have proven that it's possible and it's only a matter of time. I think it will come to our way. If it's not me, it will be somebody else. I know one day, one time a woman will run under 4:00. I will not lose hope. I will still go for it.' The 31-year-old Kipyegon looked exhausted as she reached the finish and fell on her back as she was surrounded by photographers. Advertisement Her attempt took place on a 77-degree summer evening and limited wind, in front of an audience of a few thousand people. She used a team of 13 elite pace setters made of 11 men and two women who were positioned in front and behind her to reduce drag. She stayed on the inside of the track throughout her punishing effort. She appeared to struggle midway through the race and would have needed to run each of her four laps an average of about two seconds faster. Advertisement 'I think next time we will catch up with the light,' Kipyegon added, joking about the Wavelight, a pace-setting system using a series of LED lights on the inside of the track, making it easier to follow whether an athlete is ahead or falling behind. Faith Kipyegon holds the world record for the mile by a woman, a 4:07.64. EMMA DA SILVA/AFP via Getty Images Kipyegon also had a message for her daughter and young girls watching. 'I will tell them we are not limited,' she said. 'We can limit ourselves with thoughts, but it is possible to try everything and prove to the world that we are strong. Keep pushing.' Among the guests in Paris were Carl Lewis and It was more than 71 years ago when British runner Kipyegon set the women's mile world record nearly two years ago during a Diamond League meet in Monaco. She won her third straight 1,500 Olympic title in Paris last August. A month before that, she

Kara Lawson always has been a basketball trailblazer and has a legit chance to lead USA squad in LA
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Kara Lawson always has been a basketball trailblazer and now the Duke women's coach has a legit chance to lead USA to another gold medal. She has already done it once. Lawson guided the U.S. to a 3-on-3 Olympic gold medal and could have the chance to lead Team USA's 5-on-5 squad at the Los Angeles Games in three years. First up is coaching the U.S. AmeriCup team that begins play in Chile. Advertisement Coaching is something she wanted to do since she was a young girl growing up in Virginia. She just didn't know it would be for her country. 'I played for a long time, and, so I got into coaching a little bit later just because I had a long playing career, which is as a good excuse as any to get into coaching later,' Lawson quipped during an interview with The Associated Press. 'So I was always drawn to it. I just didn't know what my entry point was.' She just thought the entry point might be at the high school level as the WNBA didn't exist and college wasn't something she strived to do. Fast forward 37 years and she's in charge of the group of college players heading to South America. Advertisement 'I'm fortunate enough to be assigned something as important as America's head coach, my goal is to do the best job possible,' Lawson said during a break as she prepared her team for the World Cup qualifying tournament. The 44-year-old Lawson could become the second African American to lead the USA women's Olympic basketball team. Dawn Staley was the women's head coach for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Lawson was a point guard at Tennessee and credits her time learning under iconic Lady Vols Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt as a big reason for her recent success roaming the sidelines. 'If you wanna learn how to coach, why not go to the best coach,' Lawson said. Advertisement Lawson has had success already with USA Basketball, leading the 3-on-3 team to a gold medal at the Tokyo Games. She didn't want to look at this opportunity as a tryout to be the 2028 Olympic coach or even next year's World Cup where she is on the short list to be the next head coach. That decision will be made by Sue Bird, who took over as the new national team managing director earlier this year. 'In my experience in life, if you just keep that mindset of being in the moment, more opportunities tend to happen for you,' said Lawson, who helped the USA win gold in 2008 at the Bejing Games, where she and Bird were teammates. 'And if you're so worried about where you fit and who goes where, and am I next in line? I just never found that to to be productive and drives you crazy and it's a waste of energy. 'So I try to just lock in on like, 'what do I need to do at this job to be really good?' ' Lawson's path to coaching wasn't the one many have taken. She went from playing 13 years in the WNBA to becoming a broadcaster. From there, she spent some time with the Boston Celtics as an assistant before getting the Duke job in 2020. Advertisement She led Duke to its first ACC Tournament championship under her coaching this past March and the Blue Devils made a run to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. The team has advanced further in the NCAAs each of the past three seasons. Coaching in the AmeriCup is a full circle moment for Lawson. She played in the AmeriCup in 2007, which was also in Chile, and helped the U.S. win it and qualify for the Beijing Olympics the next year. Now she'll try and lead the team to another victory and the automatic berth to the World Cup next year in Germany. 'I think the mentality for every team is to win,' Lawson said. 'Our group understands that we're on the lower end of the experience totem pole entering this competition and that we're going to face some very good teams. So the race is on for us to gain continuity, pick up our playbook as quickly as we can and get on the same page.' Advertisement She knows the pressure that comes with coaching a USA team. Anything less than a gold medal is considered a failure. Lawson doesn't let the lofty expectations create additional pressure on her. DeLisha Milton-Jones was a teammate of Lawson's on the 2007 AmeriCup team and now is coaching with her. She's been impressed with what she's seen so far from Lawson as a coach. 'She has a knack for the game,' Milton-Jones said. 'Kara is well versed when it comes to the game. Started off at an early age going to games with her father. Going to college and being coached by one of the greatest ever to coach. Having experiences from NBA, WNBA, international side of things.' In the AmeriCup, Lawson will be coaching some of the most talented players in women's college basketball, including Flau'Jae Johnson (LSU), Olivia Miles (TCU), Hannah Hidalgo (Notre Dame), Madison Booker (Texas), Joyce Edwards (South Carolina) and Raegan Beers (Oklahoma). Advertisement Lawson has made an impression. 'The intensity she brings every day, you feel it like that's a pro right there,' Johnson said. 'Just learning from her I learned so much in these (few) days, it's been amazing."
