Study: MLS ends 4-year fall in gender hiring with 2021 gains
Associated PressA diversity report for racial and gender hiring in Major League Soccer saw a “substantial” increase in its scores for hiring women at the team and league level after four years of declines. Wednesday’s report card from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at Central Florida assigned an overall B grade, with an A for racial hiring and a C for gender hiring. The league office in New York posted high grades in racial hiring with 40.3% of positions held by people of color and gender hiring, with women filling 40.7% of positions. In a statement to the AP, Winley said the league views improving diversity efforts as “intrinsically linked to our aspiration to be one of the best leagues in the world.” The goal, Winley said, is to “foster an equitable culture that attracts, promotes and retains great people.” “We are proud of the progress MLS is making in our hiring practices and our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives,” said Winley, a league executive vice president.
