MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Dolphins, Heat, Panthers, Marlins and Inter Miami are all in on diversity.
This week alone, two franchises broke barriers.
First, the Marlins hired Kim Ng, the first female general manager in the history of America’s major pro sports leagues.
“In terms of the little girls, it means the world to me. And anybody who knows me, knows I’ve spent countless hours advocating for young girls, advocating for young women, and really trying to help them advance their careers,” she said.
She’s also the first Asian-American GM in major league baseball.
Also this week, the Florida Panthers hired Brett Peterson as assistant general manager, the first Black man to get that job title in National Hockey League history.
