Default New Sports for Los Angeles 2028

Lacrosse (6 a side), flag-football, Cricket (T20), baseball/softball, squash.

Will MLB suspend their season like hockey and send the pros being in LA?

Will any NFLers play Olympic flag football?

Squash should have been an Olympic sport a long time ago. Cricket only seems popular in the British Empire countries so is probably better suited for the Commonwealth Games instead of the Olympics. Lacrosse should be a good sport because from what I've seen it is growing rapidly internationally.

I can't see any way the MLB suspends their season. They can't do it unless they decided to play less than 162 games and owners would certainly not go for that.

The World Anti-Doping Agency on Saturday confirmed reports that 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for a banned drug before the Tokyo Olympics but that it accepted the country's findings it was due to substance contamination.

Multiple reports said the swimmers tested positive for trimetazidine (TMZ), which is found in heart medication, months before the COVID-delayed Games began in the Japanese capital in July 2021
