The NGFFL, which was started by Outsports co-founders Cyd Zeigler and Jim Buzinski, is an organization that hosts inclusive flag football leagues in 26 cities across the U.S.
and Canada. Multiple NFL teams, including the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks, sponsor the league in their home cities as well. “We are excited to join the NFL and other clubs across the league in their support of the NGFFL,” Buffalo Bills Vice President of Community Impact Michelle Roberts said in a statement. “Through our sponsorship, we are looking forward to expanding the impact of the NGFFL in our community.”Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.As a longtime player in Boston’s chapter, I can attest to the league’s positive impact.
I’ve met some of my best friends on the field and found a supportive and warm community. Open to all, straight people are allowed to play, too… if they’re good enough, that is.
