    I’ve always liked flag football because anybody can play and it takes the brutality out of it for the ones that don’t like the violent aspect. It them shows the amount of skill the game requires both with coaching and athletic ability of the athletes.

    Womens flag football will only be watched BECAUSE its the Olympics and fans are in the area to see other sports/events. Put a league anywhere else and there will be low ticket sales. You have to add a men’s league because ALL professional men’s sports subsidize women’s sports.

    Who named this sport because it is getting really silly. We already know that US football is not played with the feet but with the hands but they call it football anyways ?????? Now they have flag football which also is not played with the feet but with the hands and there is no flag on the field at all but they have a small piece of cloth on their side but NOOOOo its a flag…
    You Americans are so weird it is impossible.

      Football means played on foot (as opposed to on horse like polo)
