Flag Football

As many of you know, and many of my Brit friends are fond of making fun of, Football is one of the most popular sports in America, after of course baseball in the summer, basketball, hockey, women’s volleyball, NASCAR, bass fishing, extreme diaper changing, blogging, Halo and eating.

My cousin is currently involved in an NFL sponsored flag football league which plays in Dyker Heights, next to Bay Ridge. Flag football differs from normal football in one major way, no tackling. Instead, the players run with two flags hanging down from either sides of their pants. The goal is to pull the flag off of your opponent to get him to end the play. While the game is fun to watch and the kids enjoy it, the parents seem to enjoy it more. It begs the question of who enjoys it more. The parents scream, yell, cheer at both the game and each other. Apparently the teams’ supporters are now separated to prevent any further incidents.

In the background you can also see the VA Hospital. The place you should go if you suddenly develop Agent Orange with no preliminary symptoms, sorry private joke.
