LGBT pride has spread from hockey to basketball this week.
Just three days after the Philadelphia Flyers hosted a You Can Play night to promote LGBT inclusion in sports, the Philadelphia 76ers announced their own. That makes the Sixers the first team in the National Basketball Association to partner with You Can Play, a nonprofit that works to guarantee that athletes are given a fair opportunity to compete regardless of sexual orientation.
Tickets for the March 29 game are on sale now at www.sixers.com/promocode. The code is YOUCANPLAY76. It costs $16-$115, depending on seat location. The deadline to purchase tickets is March 21.
The Sixers will face the Charlotte Hornets from North Carolina in the game.
