Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 5/23/25
NFL players should be able to participate in the upcoming Summer Olympic Games for flag football, and so now the question is do teams and fans want those players to perform in those games, or would you rather the players focus on NFL football?
Look, I want the Los Angeles Rams to focus on the Super Bowl, but shoot if someone can take a chance at winning a gold medal, why would I stand in their way? Both feats seem pretty rad to me.
Do you have an opinion on this? I don’t think we’ll have to worry about this until 2028 but time flies!
Happy Friday, thank you to the readers, the commenters, fellow writers, SB Nation, thank you to everyone. It takes a village and I love doing this. Comment on whatever you want and I hope you have a great and safe day!

“I need some heavier weights #ready #ad99 #hardworkpaysoff,” Donald captioned the post.”
