The NBA’s new collective bargaining agreement, signed by the players’ union and ratified Thursday by the NBA’s board of governors, includes language protecting players from discrimination based on sexual orientation. (The league already has those protections in place for employees.)
“I am pleased to announce that we have concluded the collective bargaining process and have reached an agreement that addresses many significant issues that were challenges to our league,” said NBA Commissioner David Stern. “This collective bargaining agreement will help us move toward a better business model, a more competitive league and better alignment between compensation and performance.”
