Such sad news. As well as being internationally respected as a soccer writer, Grant Wahl was widely known to be a staunch ally of the LGBTQ+ community. Our thoughts are with all Grant’s friends and family.
We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken over the tragic passing of Grant Wahl. He was a kind and caring person whose passion for soccer and dedication to journalism were immeasurable.

For any

#ComingOut
, feeling like you’re in control of when and how your truth is shared helps make the experience positive - more so when you’re coming out publicly. So it’s sad (but alas unsurprising) to see these ‘footballer to come out as gay’ headlines today /1
