Aussie legend urges football to «do better» after Iker Casillas «jokes» that he’s «gay»
Australian football legend Craig Foster has applauded Josh Cavallo for taking a stance against Iker Casillas and Carles Puyol while urging football to ‘do better’.
Former Real Madrid and Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas caused a storm when he appeared to come out as gay, sportbible.com reports.
He wrote: «I hope you respect me: I’m gay.»
The tweets had since been deleted with both Spanish players apologising, and Casillas claiming he was hacked, according to sportbible.com.
@IkerCasillas and @Carles5puyol joking and making fun out of coming out in football is disappointing. It’s a difficult journey that any LGBTQ+ ppl have to go through. To see my role models and legends of the game make fun out of coming out and my community is beyond disrespectful pic.twitter.com/Yp88aQyyTV
