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:
“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“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)
