A number of prominent gay athletes and allies from around the world, including the NFL’s Michael Sam, have joined together in calling for people to take the ‘Out on the Fields’ survey: a first-of-its-kind international study on homophobia in sports.
The study, commissioned by organizers of The Bingham Cup, the world cup of gay rugby, and conducted by universities such as Penn State and the University of Massachusetts, is the largest study ever done on the issue. The survey hopes to better equip sporting organizations around the world to handle homophobia-related issues and is expected to release its results later this year.
