PRO SOCCER:

The Richmond Kickers announced they'll be a founding member of the United Soccer League's Division III next season.

The Kickers, who have competed since 1993, have made the playoffs 22 times and won the USL Second Division in 2006 and '09. But they have struggled in recent years against higher-salaried opposition. This season, they're 6-18-4.

They will be dropping one level into a new group that so far includes teams in Statesboro, Ga.; Tucson, Ariz.; Greenville, S.C.; Madison, Wis.; Toronto; Chattanooga, Tenn.; and Orlando, Fla.

Did you know Tampa's flag is a 'monstrosity'? No one else does, either

Tampa has a flag.

It's flying over Old City Hall and Water Works Park and Tampa Police headquarters, and it was there hanging limp behind Mayor Bob Buckhorn as cameras rolled during his recent State of the City Address.

And yet, despite having been around for 77 years, that news — that Tampa even has a flag — often surprises locals.

Show it to a fourth-generation Tampa native and they might say, "Oh, that's what it looks like?" Show it to a professional graphic designer, and you may get a sneer.

There is one hanging over a cooler at Cigar City Brewing, but nobody who picked up the phone seemed to know what it was. Guillermo Perez brings his to every Tampa Bay Rowdies home game. People often ask him what country it's from.

Its bizarre shape makes it expensive to produce. Its complicated design makes it forgettable.

It does, however, have an active life on the internet. Over the years, the flag has resurfaced as an object of ridicule on Reddit and Facebook where it's called a "monstrosity." In April, after the Times started reporting on the flag's web subculture, a change.org petition titled "Redesign Tampa's Flag" appeared on tampaflag.com, a site promoting a re-design.

A night of drinking a lifetime ago spared the flag's creator from a watery grave. Sparing the city from the current flag depends on who wants it enough.
