Gay footballer accuses old club of homophobia.

Josh Cavallo, the first man to come out as gay while playing elite football, has accused his old club of being “homophobic” in an Instagram post, stating that internal homophobia led to him being sidelined and affected his wellbeing as a professional footballer. Adelaide United denied the allegations, claiming all on-field decisions are made solely on footballing grounds. Cavallo’s coming out in 2021 paved the way for other LGBT+ athletes, like Jake Daniels, and he expressed gratitude to fans for their support while moving on to play in the UK.
