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:
“There’s an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
