Emanuel had been in Los Angeles for a fundraiser Friday night.
Sunday, however, he did the coin toss for one of several "pee-wee" football games played at Lane Tech High School.
Emanuel talked about the parents turning out for their kids football games, saying that's the kind of thing that makes Chicago great.
He brushed off questions about a decision by the Chicago Coalition for Mayor, a group of public officials and religious leaders, to endorse Congressman Danny Davis in the mayoral race.
