Bringing diverse voices in sports
This year's list marks a shift in how we honor these trailblazers. It doesn't just focus on those already at their peak but also highlights those climbing their own ladders. By expanding our criteria, we're aiming at showcasing a wider range and depth within this community, recognizing a broader spectrum that enriches and diversifies sports.
Traditionally, lists like these have fixated on current power players, spotlighting only those at their zenith. But this year's take breaks new ground, applauding both established stalwarts and up-and-comers. It underscores our commitment not just in celebrating current influence but in recognizing its dynamic and evolving nature.
The top 100: A new look
This year, we've split this list in a unique manner: The Top 50 and The Rising 50. The Top 50 recognizes those who hold sway in major American sports. They might be from leagues like NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, NHL, or part and parcel with influential media organizations. These are folks who embody LGBTQ influence at its height.
In contrast, The Rising 50 shines a light on those making their mark, even if they haven't quite made it onto everyone's radar yet. This part gives a nod towards fresh faces and voices, celebrating paths not yet tread by previous lists.
Navigating challenges in gauged influence
Trying measure influence across a patchwork quilt like American sports - from men's leagues like NBA and women's leagues like NWSL - isn't easy. But it matters. It involves working alongside major sports leagues and media outlets, ensuring a truly broad array gets its due, mirroring how American sports look right now.
No list can capture everyone or avoid criticism, but what truly matters here? It remains highlighting and applauding those shaping sports' future.
Celebrating LGBTQ contributions
On October 14, this list will celebrate LGBTQ achievements, serving as inspiration and encouragement. It sets out not just laud those working in sports as athletes, coaches, executives, or commentators but also boosts visibility and participation.
