Flag Football (IFAF)
Verdict
Ball: IFAF-approved adult football (men's intermediate/youth size for women); Flag belt: two-flag belt (one on each hip); flags 14-16" long, "pop"-style detach; No pads, no helmets — non-contact sport
Why people argue about this
People often assume that pop-style flags are just a branding choice for manufacturers without realizing they're mandated by the official rules due to their safety benefits in preventing accidental tackles. They forget that detachable flags ensure players can quickly remove them if hit, reducing risk of injury and streamlining game flow.
