俄勒冈批准女子高中腰旗橄榄球为正式体育项目，成为全美第25个州
俄勒冈州学校活动协会（OSAA）10月12日投票通过，将女子高中腰旗橄榄球列为正式体育项目，俄勒冈由此成为全美第25个设立女子高中腰旗橄榄球正式项目的州，也是全美一半州中的最新一员。
腰旗橄榄球在俄勒冈发展迅速：上赛季已有57支校队、超过1400名女生参赛。经过两年的「新兴项目」阶段，今年春季将迎来首个正式赛季。西雅图海鹰队为该州的腰旗橄榄球发展提供了装备支持并捐赠3万美元，总部位于俄勒冈州比弗顿的耐克公司也承诺，为首批参赛或在前三年新增项目的各校队提供主客场球衣。
海鹰队社区参与副总裁马里奥·贝利表示，球队很自豪能支持整个地区女子腰旗橄榄球的发展，为年轻女性创造更多参赛机会。腰旗橄榄球将于2028年首次登上奥运会赛场，NCAA也已建议在同年将其列为大学锦标赛项目。

Oregon Sanctions Girls High School Flag Football, Becoming the 25th State
SALEM, Ore. — The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) voted on Oct. 12 to sanction girls high school flag football as an official sport, making Oregon the 25th state in the nation to do so — and the latest in what is now half of all U.S. states.
Flag football has grown quickly in Oregon: last season 57 varsity teams and more than 1,400 girls competed. After two years as an “emerging activity,” the sport will play its first official season this spring. The Seattle Seahawks have supported the sport's development in the state with equipment and a $30,000 donation, and Beaverton-based Nike has pledged home and away jerseys for teams competing in the inaugural season or adding a program in its first three years.
“The Seahawks are proud to support the growth of girls flag football across our region and help create more opportunities for young women to compete,” said Mario Bailey, the team's vice president of community engagement. Flag football will make its Olympic debut in 2028, and the NCAA has recommended it become a championship collegiate sport the same year.
