The Gay Athlete

In women's sports, gay and straight athletes have always shared the field, and nobody blinked: not the fans, not the leagues, not the sponsors. In men's sports, it's still taboo. So what did the women figure out first? Gayle and Daryl go to the source: two-time World Cup champion Ashlyn Harris on coming out in 2019 and losing zero sponsors, Ally CMO Andrea Brimmer on hitting her 50/50 women’s/men’s sports media pledge a year early and putting a Pride car in NASCAR, and 11 Ounces' Shannon Washington on why, for some brands, "if you don't wanna say gay, you can say sports."
