How Does Prioritizing Diversity Reshape Sports? | Kenneth Shropshire — Opportunity Matters Series

Kenneth L. Shropshire, faculty director for Wharton’s Coalition for Equity and Opportunity delves into the world of sports alongside guests Xavier Gutierrez, the NHL's first Latino president and CEO, and Jonathan Beane, the NFL's senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer.

The conversation examines the unique role sports play in providing access and opportunities for underserved communities, and why women are more likely to foster a positive and inclusive work environment. They also address the diversity challenges in team ownership and highlight the ongoing efforts to increase opportunities for minorities in leadership roles within sports organizations. This interview is part of a special 4-part series called “Opportunity Matters.”
