Commissioners of sports leagues talk LGBTQ inclusion. Others no.

Written by

A couple months ago, Outsports set out on asking questions of the commissioners of the Big Five men’s pro sports leagues in North America. To review, they are: NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, NHL.

In that time, one league has refused to have its commissioner answer LGBTQ-inclusion questions from Outsports: the NHL. This isn’t a big surprise. When you tell a commissioner of a major pro sports league he’s you’re “Asshole of the Year,” it’s unlikely he’s going to want to talk with you.

Of the other four major pro American sports leagues, two commissioners have already sent answers to our LGBTQ Pride-focused questions. And the answers of two others are pending.

Who has responded to Outsports’ questions? You’ll have to come back the week of Monday, June 17 to find out.
