The WNBA still leads the way in sports diversity, even after one of its marquee franchises folded.

 

The league received an A-plus Thursday for the second consecutive year in an annual diversity report card on race and gender. The WNBA is the only professional league to have received a perfect grade.

 

The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport study, run by Dr. Richard Lapchick of the University of Central Florida, rates leagues and college sports on the number of participating women and minorities.
