Los Angeles
Wins Flag Football Tournament There
were only three teams, but in the first gay men's flag football
tournament since the 1994 Gay Games, Los Angeles won the Gay Super
Bowl, beating squads from Boston and San Francisco.
The two-day event was held April 27-28 in Los
Angeles, and featured a round-robin format. In the first game, San
Francisco jumped to an early lead and held off a late Boston rally to
win, 26-12. Los Angeles was dominant in
its two games, beating San Francisco, 64-12, then Boston, 74-0, to
take the title. (Jim Buzinski and Cyd Zeigler, Outsports founders,
play for the Los Angeles team and organized the event). On the
tournament's second day, the three teams pooled their players and had
a blast playing 3 hours of pickup. The
tournament was the first of what is expected to be an annual event.
The weather was perfect and Cheer LA provided cheerleading color.
Boston has agreed to host next year's event, and teams from Atlanta
and Chicago have already expressed interest in competing.
