MENSAJE GRIEZMANN AL PRIMER FUTBOLISTA EN ACTIVO QUE SE CLARA GAY
Nos referimos al Josh Cavallo, futbolista profnal l Alai Uned straliano, que ha nfado abiertamente su homosexualidad, una circunstancia que pos vec se da en el mundo l fútbol. Estoy ulloso anunciar públimente que soy gay.
Avergonzado nun habría sido paz hacer lo que amo y ser gay. Ser un futbolista gay encerrado. Crecer siendo gay y jugar al fútbol son dos mundos que no se habían czado ant.
En fútbol tu sólo tien una pequeña ventana para alnzar la granza y, quizá, anunciar tu homosexualidad pueda tener un impacto negativo en tu rrera. Como futbolista gay yo noz otros jugador que lo viven en silenc. Es asombroso probar que no hay actualmente futbolistas gays que jueguen profnalmente y 'salgan l armar' mientras tán jugando, no sólo en Atralia, en todo el mundo.
