Tom Brady, Fanatics flag football event moving from Saudi Arabia to Los Angeles as war breaks out in Middle East
NY Post
The much-anticipated flag football event involving Tom Brady and other NFL legends and superstars is moving from Saudi Arabia to California after war broke out in the Middle East over the weekend.
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic is relocating to Los Angeles, with BMO Stadium likely to serve as the host venue, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Friday.
The showcase was slated to go down at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, though after America and Israel bombed Iran on Saturday — and Iran retaliated by attacking US interests, including one in Saudi Arabia — event organizers pivoted.
Brady and a host of other massive NFL names, including CeeDee Lamb, Saquon Barkley, Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby, were all signed up to compete in the experience, which was announced back in September.
The event will feature three teams participating in a round-robin style tournament.
Pete Carroll, Sean Payton and Kyle Shanahan will coach the squads, while Brady revealed in January that he and Jayden Daniels will be quarterbacking two of the rosters.
