The NFL teamed up with LGBTQ+ youth to create this one-of-a-kind Super Bowl Experience
It looks like all involved had a blast:A post shared by Phoenix Gay Flag Football (@pgffl)Byron Perkins is having a big week.“Having the NFL stand with the LGBTQ youth, and also the Phoenix and National Gay Flag Football League, just affirms that football is for everybody and they recognize that a lot their fanbase is part of our community, and inspiring these kids and letting them know that football is for them,” NGFFL Commissioner Joel Horton tells ABC 15.“It’s something that’s so powerful and transformative,” he continues. “They’re out here changing lives today.”The NFL has worked more closely with the NGFFL in recent years, especially in Arizona; the Cardinals sponsored the 2021 Gay Bowl in Tempe, which ended up being optioned for a reality miniseries.
