That weather! Hallelujah for the people of southeast Texas who needed rain (as evidenced by the drought-born dust we ate on Friday and Saturday). But the timing was dreadful. For the first time in NGFFL history, championship day was canceled. I’ve always viewed flag football as a rain or shine sport. I guess I can let that go.

As we prepare for kickoff of Gay Bowl XI in Houston, we celebrate the NGFFL’s great national partnership with MillerCoors, which is now fully coming to life. We sincerely thank the company for its generous support of the growing and dynamic sports community that is LGBT flag football. The company recognizes that the NGFFL is where it’s at, and we’re honored.
Now let’s get to Houston and play fantastic flag football. Then let’s drink some beer together.
