3 of the 8 teams to make it down state for the girls flag championships are CPS teams. Crazy how fast that sports has grown to over 200 teams and the finals will be on tv this Saturday.

Sorry (not sorry) to rain on y'all's parade, but I saw one game and was not impressed. Looked to me like a big game of tag.

Well, what were you expecting?Sorry (not sorry) to rain on y'all's parade, but I saw one game and was not impressed. Looked to me like a big game of tag.
It was probably closer than most of the games in the first 3 rounds of the boys playoffs.There you go, a top team vs a below-average team. It's your complaint about the first round of the playoffs in flag football form

I just watched my 8 year old grandson play flag football. I agree with you Ramblinman.Sorry (not sorry) to rain on y'all's parade, but I saw one game and was not impressed. Looked to me like a big game of tag.
I too am disappointed when flag football (a version of the sport that allows people to become involved in a beautiful game they wouldn’t otherwise play) doesn't have hitting reminiscent of a 1980s NFC championship game….I just watched my 8 year old grandson play flag football.

democrats approveI think this is awesome for the girls!! How long until a boy is allowed to join?

200+ teams full of kids being active and having fun with something that doesn’t involve a screen. Girls flag football is objectively, 100% an awesome thing.
Careful. Seems like you're dealing with a badass
I. Don't. Care.Careful. Seems like you're dealing with a badass
Not really both are mainly first time players. It will get better with time but currently it’s a cluster.There are many D1 girls basketball, soccer, lacrosse, etc. players out there. It's been nice to see such interest in it. Comparing it to 8 year olds playing is ignorant
Agree. I'd let my daughter play in a heartbeat. I think what I appreciate most, for the young ladies, is that it's an option outside of Volleyball and a handful of fringe sports in the Fall for them to get involved with. I'm not trying to take anything away from CC, VB, golf, tennis, or swimming, but this is a nice alternative option for the ladies in the Fall. Clearly there's a lot of interest in it, I think with the right support this could be a very good thing moving forward.It’s something positive for kids to do.

Because some people's lives are so unfulfilled that the only way they feel relevant is to demean everyone/everything else that is progressing in a positive way. They have such low self-esteem that anyone doing anything positive is a threat to them. Some even attempt to bring in other factors that no one else is discussing just so their narrative fits what they want to believe. Its really sad. Usually its the same guys that used to sit in the bleachers talking tough while the rest of us played on the field.I don’t understand why anyone would bash on this. It’s something positive for kids to do.
There isn't a single post bashing it here.I don’t understand why anyone would bash on this. It’s something positive for kids to do.
Depends on definition of bashing I guess, but there are certainly some “less than positive” posts if you scroll up a bit.There isn't a single post bashing it here.
Things can be low quality and absolutely amazing at the same time, see CPS football.Depends on definition of bashing I guess, but there are certainly some “less than positive” posts if you scroll up a bit.
Some talk about how unimpressed they are with it, others compared it to 8 year olds.
It is so funny that you say this with your first couple sentences. Last year I told both my daughters that girls flag football was coming HS sports. The older one said, "damn, I wish they had that when I was at Lockport. I would definitely have played instead of Volleyball for Hudson." LOL. The younger one also wished it had existed then.Agree.

Always remember, the guys with the biggest mouths are the ones who aren't in the arena and most never really were.Because some people's lives are so unfulfilled that the only way they feel relevant is to demean everyone/everything else that is progressing in a positive way.

Thank Goodness ... otherwise, I would not be telling most folks.Full uniforms.
