Buffalo Bills Announce Launch of National Gay Flag Football League Chapter in Buffalo

I have to be honest, I didn’t even know that was a thing.

Of course, you probably already know it’s Pride Month, with social media accounts turning their photos into rainbows for a month to prove how much they care about the LGBT community.

But apparently the Buffalo Bills are going even further.

Today, the Bills announced they will sponsor the launch of a chapter of the National Gay Flag Football League (NGFFL) in Buffalo:

“We are delighted to join the NFL and other league clubs in supporting the NGFFL. Through our sponsorship, we look forward to expanding the impact of NGFFL in our community.

The NGFFL has apparently been around since 2002 and has leagues in 27 other cities.

According to NGFFL Commissioner Joel Horton:

“We are excited to bring inclusive flag football to Buffalo with the support of the Buffalo Bills. This exciting addition joins 27 other cities and more than 4,000 players, including straight allies, in the National Gay Flag Football League.

Our mission is to unite the community in a spirit of competition while celebrating our diversity. By fostering an environment where everyone is welcome, we aim to build a stronger, more inclusive Buffalo. Together, with the support of the Buffalo Bills, we are creating a space where all individuals can participate, compete and thrive.

Of course, the first thing I do these days is read the comments, and the comments on this listing did not disappoint, with many having the same question as me:

How to prove your eligibility for this league?

If it’s the honor system, doesn’t that just mean this league is open to everyone? And if so, how is it different from any other league (including the NFL)? And if it’s not the honor system…well, too bad.

But anyway, take a look at the comments for yourself:
