Quotable

“At ESPN, we use sports terminology all of the time, and we use it as analogies… We say diversity is about being on the team, and inclusion is about who gets to play. I’ll stretch that analogy a little bit. James was passionate about making sure that people had a chance to play in meaningful situations, and if you knew him, he would encourage you to step up when he saw opportunities for you. He would coach you to do that because he actually felt very strongly and when he believed in someone, he wanted them to succeed. Stepping up is not always easy to do, especially for people of color and women… Find an opportunity in the next three days or seven weeks to lift someone up.”

– ESPN SVP, Programming and Scheduling Freddy Rolon honoring the late James Hendricks during NAMIC’s Annual Awards Luncheon
