Flag Football
Times when it can be a dead ball:
- anytime the ball hits the ground (also called a fumble)
- the ball is blocked, not caught, by usually the defender. If the ball is caught, the defender can make a run for touchdown.
- the ball carrier's flag is pulled or somehow falls to the ground.
- the ball carrier falls to the ground. If any other part of the body of the ball carrier, other than the hands and feet, touch the ground, it is a dead ball.

Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or football:
“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
