Giants continue their support of the New York Gay Flag Football League – Giants Wire

In recognition of LGBTQ+ Pride month (June), the New York Giants recently welcomed members of the New York Gay Flag Football League to their headquarters at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford.

The Giants have been partnering with the league since 2017.

Natalie Wizel, Content Producer in the Giants’ Marketing department, has been an active member of the NYGFL since 2016 and a captain since 2017.

“Today for the first time, we’re actually getting members of our community to meet with the Giants, to meet with some of our staff, our players, actually get them in the building and kind of see what the Giants are all about,” Wizel said, via Giants.com.

About the NYGFL:

The NYGFL is a 7-on-7 flag football league inclusive to all, but primarily catering to the LGBTQIA+ community in and around New York City. The league has seen tremendous growth over the years and is currently one of the largest gay flag football leagues in the country. After being founded in 2004 with just six teams and 80 players, the league has grown into 24+ teams (combined between the Women’s+ and Open divisions) and a community of well over 400 active members annually.

“It’s been amazing having the Giants support us and actually come to the table and partner with us as a community,” said NYGFL Commissioner Monty Clinton. “It shows the Giants’ commitment to support our league and help us thrive. I think it’s really important having the Giants’ support, it helps continue to break down barriers around diversity and inclusion within sports.”
