Smith was playing adult flag football?

SteveSmith 300x200 Smith was playing adult flag football?This is getting interesting. The original story of Carolina Panthers’ WR Steve Smith was about him breaking his arm while playing flag football with kids. But a league source tells PFT that he was actually playing with a group of adults.

Smith’s agent, Derrick Fox, spoke to Florio by phone on Monday and admitted that he didn’t know whether it was a kids game or an adult game.

“I don’t know that,” Fox said.

So what’s the big deal? Well, according to PFT, paragraph 3 of the standard player contract forbids players playing other forms of football without prior consent.

It states:

“Without prior written consent of the Club, Player will not play football or engage in activities related to football otherwise than for Club or engage in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury.”

So, Florio asked Fox if Smith had gotten permission to play with adults.

“I don’t necessarily think that anybody asked for permission,” Fox said.

That’s bad. Because based on what PFT has learned, Smith’s football camp for kids ended on June 19th, and this injury actually occurred during the championships of an adult league on Sunday.

If that’s the case, the Panthers could be entitled to get some money out of Smith.

  3. Don’t have a lot of cash to buy a building? Do not worry, just because it’s real to get the loan to resolve such problems. So get a term loan to buy all you want.

  5. I think the info outlined in the discussion is actually wonderful. I’ve been carrying out a preliminary research on the subject and your writings simply helped with quite a few questions I had. I am working on an essay and term paper for my English class and actively reading through a bunch of personal blogs to learn from.
