So what, they're his beliefs. No one has to adhere to them
He didn't have to resign, he chose to. If he'd had the courage of his religious convictions he would have stayed and endure the oncoming circus that would have erupted. It's clearly not his fault his religious beliefs, particularly those around abortion and diversity, are so abhorrent to many. The board didn't see them as an issue when they appointed him so they'd have obviously supported him.
All jokes aside, his appointment is a clear conflict of interest within a league that promotes diversity and inclusivity. Can only imagine how women feel about his (and his churches) views on abortion. You only need to look at the protests following the US abortion law changes to realise the passion already there for the cause.
