Penalty flag, a Common card
The penalty flag, often called a penalty marker, is a yellow cloth used in several field sports including American football, Canadian football, and lacrosse by game officials to identify and sometimes mark the location of penalties or infractions that occur during regular play.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is usually wrapped around a weight, such as sand or beans so it can be thrown accurately over greater distances and cannot easily be blown away.
- Many officials previously weighted flags with ball bearings, but the practice was largely discontinued after a flag thrown by NFL referee Jeff Triplette struck Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Orlando Brown Sr. in the eye during a 1999 game, causing a serious injury to Brown.
- Brown was forced to sit out three seasons because of the eye injury and settled with the NFL for a reported amount of $25 million.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Penalty flag article was read about 11,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 45 and blocks with 17: each hit it takes is cut by 7 %.
