[edit] Rochester Wolfpack

Asserts notability, but it's a flag football team, for heaven's sake. Even a good flag football team, as this one appears to be, isn't notable. NawlinWiki 03:21, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

• "Flag" for Delete - such amateur sports don't come close to notability for an encyclopedia. Akradecki 04:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Comment Some of us are not American. WTF is a "flag" football team? Jcuk 19:16, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment normal football, but instead of tackling the guy/gal with the ball, you grab the flag that's hanging from their waist band. It's a safer version of the game. Akradecki 19:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

First of all it's (Flag Football) sponsored by the NFL at many levels! Secondly the bulk of our players played NCAA college football, as have teams who compete competitively nation wide. Winning the longest game in USFTL "United States Flag & Touch Football League" history is why I believe it truly deserves retention. I see other teams & sports listed as well. Most cities across the USA have competitive teams & frankly after playing 4 years of Division I-AA College ball, Flag is more dangerous. Guys often suffer more injuries because you fly around full speed with no pads & defenders collide, linemen physically "strong arm" each other on full speed pass rushes and so on! So you can push for deletion, but one should respect the game & those who play it I guess. Save the girly touch and tennis lessons - It's physical. Just being honest and friendly, but if we need to add more flag football (how to play) detail about the game, then certainly we can do that too!

• Delete NN, a league might be worthy of a mention in an article on the subject. This is obscure and not encyclopedic in tone. Lord Rasputin 21:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
