flag football sub cult

I used to play this. In fact, I was one of the first few weekend warriors who played pick up Flag Football at the UP Sunken Garden and Ateneo HS fields. I was really enjoying it even if I never scored a touchdown. Then the athletes started coming in... mostly Fil-ams who played the sport while they were in the USA. They weren't just speaking with that American twang, they brought some attitude too. And it sort of became serious. Suddenly there was a league, and there were teams and everyone wanted to win. So I left the game to play Ulitmate Frisbee instead.

And then same thing happened [except for the Fil-am part]. Jeesh. It's a vicious cycle for a try-athlete who just wants to have fun.
