Gloria Casarez, the city’s director of LGBT affairs, tossed the coin to start the Greater Philadelphia Flag Football League’s final games of the season Nov. 20 at Columbus Square Park in South Philadelphia, which Mayor Nutter also attended. Casarez said the mayor surprised many by telling them he used to run a football league before he entered the political scene, and he even headed onto the field to throw a few passes to the GPFFL players. The Black Holes were the eventual champions, taking the top spot in the GPFFL’s first fall season. Photo: Scott Drake
