Broncos take flag football championship

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

With a bye to the championships, the Broncos were well rested when the title game came calling on Saturday.

The advantage helped, as the team won the league championship to close out the National Flag Football League of Atlanta’s season. The Broncos downed the Pirates 26-6. The Pirates defeated the Wildcats 26-7 earlier in the day for their spot in the title game.

The championship game capped a season for the league that started in late March and suffered through being bounced from park to park over the city’s new drought restrictions and then experiencing a handful of rainouts of their Saturday game days. Oh, the irony.

The league now sets its sights on Gay Superbowl VIII. The NFFLA will assemble a team to take part in the national tournament, set for early October in Salt Lake City. In 2007, the team placed ninth after winning the B bracket championship, two spots lower than a year earlier. In 2005, the NFFLA team made a run at the title, losing in the final game.

Flag football league set for title game

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

It’s not quite the Super Bowl – there aren’t any commercials or, for that matter, TV coverage – but don’t tell the National Flag Football League of Atlanta.

They take their flag football seriously. On Saturday, the league puts the wraps on a season that started in late March with a semi-final matchup at 10 a.m. and the championship game at noon.

In the first round of playoffs on June 14, the league-leading Broncos downed the Clippers 26-0 and received a bye to the title game. The Pirates beat the Raiders 25-13 and the Wildcats defeated the Rams 21-20.

That sets up a Pirates v. Wildcats matchup for the semifinal on Saturday, with the winner facing the Broncos for the championship. The games take place at Central Park in Midtown.

Busy weekend of gay sports, charity events

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Being sporty this weekend has never been so easy. There’s cycling, a pageant and a couple of opportunities to get your drink on.

At 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, some 100 cyclists are expected to push off from their starting line at Emory University to begin a 200-mile bike ride. The 6th Annual Action Cycling 200 is expected to raise more than $75,000 for the Emory Vaccine Center, which develops vaccines for AIDS and other infectious diseases.

At noon, there’s the “Ruggers & Buggers & Buns” cookout and fund-raiser for the Atlanta Bucks Rugby Football Club. The event serves as an early send-off for the rugby team, which travels to Ireland in June to compete in the International Gay Rugby Association & Board championships. A $10 ticket – $15 at the door – means all the burgers, hot dogs, brats, sides and dessert you can eat.

Later in the day, the Hotlanta Softball League hosts its annual pageant for the Open Division. The Mr. & Ms. HSL Pageant raises about $3,000 for the league, which splits it among teams taking part in the Gay Softball World Series in August. Admission is $10. Show time is 6 p.m.

“It’s some of the ugliest drag and some of the studliest men in Atlanta,” says Art Davenport, HSL’s secretary. “It is a real evening of contrasts.”

On Sunday, the Hotlanta Soccer Association is hosting a wine raffle to raise funds for its tournament over the Memorial Day holiday. Tickets to the raffle, which includes more than $2,500 in wine, are $5. The raffle takes place during “Margaritas, Mojitos & Mischief,” an event that costs $15 and includes unlimited margaritas and mojitos. The event begins at 4 p.m.

Will sports, events return to Piedmont Park?

Monday, April 28th, 2008

It’s been the unanswered question since the city of Atlanta put in place new restrictions on the use of Piedmont Park: will the sports leagues and festivals that call the park home ever be allowed to return?

It’s a question that Maria Saporta, a columnist for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, asked again today:

“The state’s Level 4 drought restriction still exists,” [city parks commissioner Dianne Harnell] Cohen says. “We would look very carefully at whether the state had lifted its drought restrictions. But the city can have its own restrictions.”

So can the festivals return to Piedmont Park in the future?

“I won’t say they never could come back to Piedmont Park,” Cohen says. “But I would advise them to have an alternative, a Plan B.”
