Sportsmen out of the closet

NEWS.- Last Sunday 5th, the image of the kiss between the American Abby Wambach and his wife Sarah Huffman, also a footballer, went around the world. If it was not for that kiss, many people would not even have known that the final of the women's soccer world cup had been played in which the United States defeated Japan by a clear 5-2. Abby and Sarah, who married in 2013, celebrated the triumph of the American team in which Abby plays and inadvertently helped to popularize the female practice of this sport that receives so little support from the media.

This is the case of Amelie Mauresmo, a former French tennis player who was harshly questioned about his exit from the cupboard after finishing the Australian Open in 1999 with just 19 years.

After reviewing the list the mandatory question is Where are the Spanish lesbian athletes? Because it is clear that there are some and even if some basketball player has gone without problems from the closet, the rest are suffocating inside that should not fit even a pin. Are we not at the head of tolerance with the issue of homosexuality? Well, let's see if it shows, girls.
