SYDNEY — Chief executives of Australia's major sports leagues have signed a commitment to eliminate discrimination against gay people among their teams, players and spectators.

The heads of the Australian Football League, Australian Rugby Union, National Rugby League, Cricket Australia and Football Federation Australia signed the pledge Wednesday.

The agreement was announced by organizers of the Bingham Cup, a gay rugby tournament scheduled for Sydney in late August.

Australian Rugby Union chief Bill Pulver said players, supporters, coaches and administrators "should feel safe, welcome and included, regardless of race, gender or sexuality."
