LA Motion to Defend Championship in Gay Bowl X
L.A. Motion, made up of players from the LA Flag Football league, are preparing to defend their Gay Bowl championship when they head
to Phoenix AZ for Gay Bowl X that will be held Oct. 8-10.
Last year, the LA Motion defeated the San Diego Bolts in what some have called the greatest Gay Bowl championship game ever at Gay Bowl IX.
Los Angeles took a 7-point lead with about two minutes left when Demond A. took a short pass 50 yards for a score. The Bolts declined a penalty
on the play that would have negated the touchdown, but they wanted one more shot to score.
With two plays left in the game, the scored from 12 yards out and lined up for a 2-point conversion. Quarterback Eric R. was pushed out of the
pocket and his pass hit the ground, giving the Motion a 31-30 victory.

LAFF FLAG FOOTBALL MISSION
LA Flag Football was formed to work toward the elimination of prejudice and discrimination towards gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender [GLBT] individuals. We also seek, through our instructive American flag football camps and league and partnerships with local and national GLBT sports clubs and leagues, to increase visibility of GLBT athletes and competitions and provide a supportive environment for GLBT individuals to improve fundamental athletic skills. We also seek through our organization, our events, and our members to foster and augment the self-respect of GLBT persons and to engender respect and understanding from the larger community.
While particular emphasis is placed on these specific goals, it is a fundamental principle of LA Flag Football that all activities, social and athletic, are conducted to be inclusive in nature and that no individual shall be excluded from participating on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic ability, physical challenge, or HIV status.
Note: This meeting is neither sponsored by nor is it in any way connected with the Los Angeles Unified School District.
