Adelaide United's Josh Cavallo has publicly announced he is gay, becoming the first footballer to open up about their sexuality while playing in the A-League.Josh Cavallo says he "couldn't be happier" with his decision to publicly announce that he is gay
His club has stood with Cavallo, with coach Carl Veart saying he has "nothing but admiration and support" for his playerThe midfielder has played 19 games for the Reds since making the move to Adelaide from Western United. The A-League club said it stood alongside Cavallo for being true to himself, and would continue to love and support him as a member of its diverse family."It's been a journey to get to this point in my life, but I couldn't be happier with my decision to come out.In 2019, former Newcastle Jets player Andy Brennan publicly came out as gay after his A-League career was over.Adelaide United head coach Carl Veart said Cavallo had shown tremendous courage.
"For Josh to be the best he can be and get the most out of his career, he needs the freedom to be himself, and I fully support him."United winger Ben Halloran said the playing group was proud of Cavallo. "It takes great courage to take this step seeing as it's, sadly, still very rare in the sporting world for men to come out," he said."Hopefully Josh's decision to share this part of himself can inspire others to do the same in the future."
But why is this news worrhy
Yeah who cares so last year
Unfortunately for him, being regular gay is about as bad as being straight. If you want internet clout, you gotta come out as a non binary deer or something else made up like that
Who cares? No one has ever heard of this guy! Why is his sexuality important to anyone but him. It's not. What a narcissist.
Today Josh is celebrating his hat trick, scoring 3 times. Once ont pitch and twice in the showers. Well done Josh, brave man.
He's cute
It still takes courage to come out, especially in Josh's profession. Kudos to him, I wish him much happiness.
Dude.. we already knew
Wait.....there are straight soccer players?
Congrats? 🤷♂️
🤗
WHO CARES?! Nobody! I don’t want to know that this dude likes to do unnatural and twisted things with other dudes. Get this crap out of sports.
No one cares
Repent turn from your sin
A soccer player? Gay?
Lots of professional futball/soccer players have come out as gay. Congrats to Josh but he’s definitely not the first
So what's the news?
I thought all pro soccer players were gay. 🤔
Ever time someone posts ‘yawn’ to this I think of the guy putting it in their open mouth
yawn.
Hope he gets all the attention he needs from this to fill the void he has no one cares if you are homosexual
Well good for him, do you and live your best ilfe. Although, looking at this photo, I don't know how nobody figured it out sooner.
Midfielder Josh Cavallo be proud of who you are there will be time’s when some horrible people will say nasty things but don’t let it get to you and people will love you for the person you are and they won’t judge you.🌈❤️
I long for the day when they do not have to come out. When it’s not news. Until then, good on him for being so brave.
Gross!! Cmon man
first time im seeing or hearing this person before......were you people assuming he was straight or he just never officially came out and said he was gay? b/c that guy is gay as hell
Lol he looks gay and he’s a total bottom. Didn’t need him to come out at all. LOL
The owner of abc Rubert Murdoch creating division with all his news access .
What about Collin Martin, came out June 2018
yawn. so cliché. no one cares what gives him a tingle in his doodle.
The “who cares? This isn’t news.” crowd would rather he stayed in the closet. They’re ok with gay folks unless they have to see it. I’m happy for him and hopefully it allows more to come out and be who they’re meant to be.
He must have been tired of having to explain why he's got a boner in the changing rooms all the time. Now he'll have to change in a separate room because it's inappropriate to have someone watching you change while getting aroused! That's the only good I see in this gay exposure!
It's 2021 not 1981... Nobody cares
Do we get a day off to celebrate 🍾
❤️❤️
FMD I am sick of everyone whining about their gender identity, sexuality & whatever they feel victimized about this week. However, being gay is still stigmatized in some communities, and having openly gay role models is helpful for younger people who feel isolated.
The first of 265 million !!!!
So he couldn't go out and kick a soccer ball around without people knowing what gender he liked to nut in It was that stressful?
For those saying 'so what' and 'not news worthy' should see what the Italian government just did to prevent an anti-discrimination bill. Football is Italy's greatest sport. How lucky to not live your authentic self in these country's backward way of acceptance.
Great
Well is his private life
Oh ok.....great your gay....NNNNEEEEXXXTTTT!!!..LIKE REALLY YOU STOP TODAY TO TELL US THIS!!
Took guts bruv well done
Omg who the hell cares n why is this news? Woke crap
Seriously He's not the only 1,he's making a big deal out of so he doesn't get shit from his family
K
Did he cry like a baby🙄
cool don't care
How is this news anymore?
Sensational. I'm a man. How long until ACurrentAffair9 knocks on my front door?
Good for you! Hope your teammates feel the same and don’t mind
Weird, I thought all soccer players were gay. Guess you learned something new everyday 🤷♂️
No one cares. TrueStory
I feel like this sport has the most gays
Uh, I didn’t need to know, but now that I do, is congratulations in order
Young people like him make life easier for the next person who is afraid to come out. So good on him and God bless him, 🙏💯🇮🇪
Can we move on with our lives now, or am I required to stop, reflect on my poor life choices as per government mandate? Who. Cares.?
So what? Good for him
Good on him, live your life. (Holding a world cup in a country where it is illegal to be Gay is not acceptable bty - where is the outrage?) BoycottQatar2022
Aren’t all soccer players gay?
Y'all being the norm or straight isn't newsworthy cause it's common...the first openly gay player EVER in this sport...y'all really can't handle being so basic can ya?
Stop Westing your time waiting for monthly salary, do you have a smartphone or laptop I will teach you how to start earning money online, without sending money to anyone even me. Ask me how for more details everything that you are Reading here is legitimate.
And all the other soccer players across the globe should be doing the same in the coming months
nothing wrong with being a footballer, a lot of people I know struggle with being a footballer on a daily basis
SachinLyngdohX first
Attention seeker.. nobody gives a rats are about sexual preference except those that want to use it to get attention
💪💥❤️
Hi handsome
It’s about time someone came out. People think we are so dstupid that we don’t know there are gay men in sports. It’s stupid and naive. I still think Sydney Crosby is gay! But whether he comes out or not. We know there are gay men and women in sports.
Fair play mate we’ll done, about time more footballers came out ! I’m gay my self and understand how difficult it can be picking and choosing who and who you shouldn’t come out too. Steve
What an absolute legend. I’m so happy 4u JoshuaCavallo that you no longer have to wear a mask & can b your authentic self. What a gift you’ve given yourself & the rest of the professional male football community & others. May this give others courage to b free 2 b themselves :)
Don’t pick the soap up
Good on him he has nothing to be ashamed of
Fake news because Ronaldo has been openly gay for decades lol
Who cares?
I can help you earn that amazing profit you desire because I use the most sophisticated bitcoin mining hardware in addition to my wealth of experience which enables me win on every option I place and I earn huge profit and that is guaranteed.
Soccer is gay.
Good luck to the lad. Be proud. You set a president. Let's hope others follow!👍
I hope and pray for the day when a persons sexual preference isn’t headline news.
Love the Aussie comments, unlike leftist America
Well done that man. 👏
Great...who cares...move on. It's 2021 people...
Who cares. Does it affect his ability to play football? No. But in this world we're identity is everything, if anything happens to him now he can claim homophobia. Love who you love, you don't need my validation.
I take it he has just flushed his career down the tubes ...
I'm so glad we live in a society where 'news' is finding out who some soccer player likes to fornicate with. Bravo.
So freaking what
How do the other straight players protect themselves from this guy when he touches them inappropriately?
Fair play lad well done. ☘👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Let me know when the first footballer comes to be who has a mole on their right cheek, has red hair, is under 5'5' and is left-footed. That would be sensational.
I hope he gets some help! Change is possible IF he wants it!
Is this supposed to be NEWS? I'd be more interested if he released a video saying that he had toothache.
I live in a GAY neighborhood in Chicago. I want to announce to everyone that I am heterosexual - I like women. Phew - I feel better now. When will my story be on joshcavallo Adelaide
Okay! Why is this being publicised by ABC news?
I'm gay as well. I support homonationalism pink washing and queer wash. If more people come out as gay in football, how will football contribute to homocapitalism and gay economies? How will pink washing finance play a role? 🇺🇳🏳️🌈
Good for him
This shouldn’t be news. I liked the good all days when peoples private lives were just that - private.
Who gives a shit? Why is this news?
Cavallo: Gather round lads, i need to find a sponosor pronto, any ideas? Team: um, announce that you are gay... its different, puts you in the spotlight for 5 minutes and you'll be watercooler talk across the country.
Wow I really hated him before, but now that I know he’s gay that has all changed
Nobody gives a single fuck.
Meanwhile in the US soccer is a sport for the gays lol
Who cares?
😂 Only times America covers (eu) football is when someone comes out of the closet
Good for him! I wish him the best in life!
I mean was it a mystery to some people? He has the face and the voice of a gay.
Sad that this is considered heroic, while those who profess their faith in Christ are 'Cancelled'.
In the end mother nature always has the last word.
Who cares
Soccer is pretty gay.
Hopefully he has someone like Ted Lasso as his head coach.
I'm happy for you. But what is your point ? I really don't think the whole world cares.
So?
Person says they are gay. Makes headlines. Have we gone back in time somehow?
I don't understand why people care who the dude fucks... Go for it bro but this is not news
Oh for Christ sake, who cares? Really! They want to be thought of and treated just like everybody else, but we don’t go around announcing that we’re heterosexual, do we? “This just in, ANOTHER pro ball player has announced he’s heterosexual!” It’s getting very old, very fast!
🤮
Does anyone even care who shagging who these days
i'm here to announce that i'm a heterosexual man.
How much was he paid to say that $hit?
Its 2021. People come out saying they are demons. Who cares.
Nobody gives a shit
But is he good?
How on earth does he stop himself getting a stonker in the shower after the game? When I was 21; if I was showering with at least 10 girls, I would have been rock hard!
I don’t know why this is made to be such a big deal. He is gay, ok…and…telling everyone is supposed to do what exactly? Things like this are supposed to do what, take our attention of of the REAL NEWS…maybe he could run on down to the border and report back..just saying.
Didn’t know it was fashionable to come out. Who cares? All I care about is that he is able to play the game at a high level.
why?
Why is this a story? Who cares...
i just took out my Trash can that be news like who cares if you come out gay or not in 2021 no one gives a fuck like good job you came out gay okay and who cares none like how is this news
Pure Guts! Bravo! Good 4 Him!
He'll be fine, as long as he doesn't go to one of those clubs owned by countries that murder gays for being gay. NUFC MCFC
Who gives a shit what this persons sexual preference is?
Why does anyone need to announce their sexual preferences, as if it’s relevant to anything outside the bedroom.
Why do people have to come out ? Just live your life how you want. Don't get how this is news
You barely found out a dude looking like that who plays with balls for a living in his 20s is gay? ABC please hire me, I’ll out every person who I know is gay as gay, and we can get an entire thing going.
Oh
Announce this for what? Why does anybody need to know this? Gays claim to just want to be “treated like normal people” yet constantly doing things like this for attention. It’s insane….
Who cares? We watch him play. No one cares about his sexual orientation. It's only an issue because you make it one.
Massive respect & solidarity✌✊ JoshuaCavallo AdelaideUnited Josh Cavallo 'All I want to do is play football & be treated equally' The World is already a better place for what JoshuaCavallo has done 👏👏
Who cares
I bloody hate this. I hate that people have to announce this. It should not matter who you are dating or sleeping with or whatever. He should be allowed to just play football and be great. It’s ridiculous, I really do feel for him as he felt he had to do this 😡
“Why is this news” -homophobic people crying in the comments demonstrating why the many other pro gay footballers are hiding who they are
So what leave this poor guy alone he’s proud for saying what he said now leave him alone
Honestly who cares, it's nothing special, it's 2021 I'd be more shocked if came out straight
This is not news. ArrestFauci
Well done and so brave. You are the same man today as you were last week. Be proud x
Why is this a story in this day and age nobody cares who is gay and who isn’t live and let live. Don’t try to make others be what you want them to be just accept each other for what we are. And we don’t have to like each other if we don’t want to.
Massive respect & solidarity✌✊ JoshuaCavallo AdelaideUnited Adelaide United player Josh Cavallo has come out as gay, becoming the only current male professional footballer in the world to do so 'All I want to do is play football & be treated equally' ❤️ JoshuaCavallo
How is this news? Who cares?
Big deal. Just so everyone knows, I’m straight and proud. Should I be screaming it from the rooftops? Gay, straight or bi. Do we honestly need special recognition?
I’m sure the fans around the league will be super supportive when he comes to their stadium, especially the really sloshed ones
Not news, who gives a shit who he sleeps with
Is Patrick Hanford gay?
How about Ronaldo? 🤷🏻♂️ … Or has he not come out yet? 🤔
Is the new thing? Celebrities & athletes need to have an official coming out announcement? Why is it we need to know their sexual preferences? Just another example of the weak woke world!
Ok? Who really cares. Why is this being covered by abc news
So what let the guy live his life . How does this affect anyone else ? It doesn't wtf
Fantastic! Why a beloved former first lady doesn't do the same is a mystery to the community.
Wow what an accomplishment.
How to get clout 101
Congrats on him for doing so
Well he is hot! Welcome to the team 🌈
👏
Is this news these days… serious question.
I actually don't give a rats what he is.......
The good news is, we are just about their as a society, where this is not ‘news’. I’m happy for him.
I m so looking forward to the day when people no longer have to come out - but soccer is the winner here , the sport just got a whole heap richer ❤️🏳️🌈💛
Hopefully others in his position will feel less scared now.
Good for Josh. Gotta get out there somehow buddy👍🏻
