http://ping.fm/KofEk Flag football is the sporting earth's non-physical answer to the rather rough game of American football and is most commonly recommended for children and human beings of weaker strength. Distinct flags are placed at the waist of a player and this serves as the team's mobile 'base'. A member of the opposing team will then go through human obstacles and, instead of tackling another person, will only demand to retrieve the opponent's flag to gain a mark.
