Cavallo on Wednesday became a rarity in men’s professional sport, announcing on
Social Media he was “ready to speak about something personal that I’m finally comfortable to talk about in my life”. The
Twitter post and emotive personal video, shared by his club Adelaide United, has since made international headlines and elicited support from all corners of the game.
