The Mariners, Sounders, Seahawks, Storm and Reign on Tuesday stood together in a show of solidarity with the LGBT community.
Seattle’s pro teams have joined with Athlete Ally, a nonprofit organization that supports gender equality in sports and society, in an unprecedented partnership called “Equality is a Team Sport.”
Representatives of each of the teams, including Mariners CEO John Stanton, spoke about our shared commitment to diversity and inclusivity, on our teams and in our community.
In addition to the news conference, players from each of the five pro sports teams participated in a public service announcement.
