NFL, MLB to participate in NYC Pride March for 1st time

The NFL and MLB will participate in the New York City Pride March for the first time on June 24, according to Cyd Zeigler of Outsports.

The NBA, WNBA, and NHL are also registered for a return to the march and will have floats in the parade, while the MLS and National Women's Hockey League will have employees and players participating.

The NFL's float will feature former offensive tackle Ryan O'Callaghan, who came out publicly last year. He played 51 games over four NFL seasons from 2006-10 for the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs.

Roughly 200 representatives of Major League Baseball will participate, including MLB ambassador for inclusion and former player Billy Bean.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said Oakland Athletics executive vice president Billy Beane would be participating instead of Bean.
