> [@Lobsang](#): > > What’s “flag foot ball” “Flag” football is a tamer and gentler version of our American football. Instead of piling on the poor sob carrying the ball, though, the players try to tug a flag, which is tucked into the waistband, out. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > What’s “flag foot ball” American football (as opposed to the “Association Football” game USA folks call soccer) variant in which each player wears a little flag on the back of his/her pants. Instead of tackling the ballcarrier to bring him/her down, you only have to pull on and remove the flag to stop the play.
