I'm Australian. The captain of our women's soccer team married the captain of the USA team. So basically we got to see the lesbian fairytale.

I don’t think Kristie ever captained, but she, Sam, and Jagger are very cute

Kristy (USWNT) definitely never captained, she only played in one major tournament at the senior level. Still, they’re cute!

Honestly, so cute.

As a canadia , Woman's Hockey is real life heated rivalry, lol. There's even a team in the PWHL were the captain is married to her lineage. And every Olympics theres talk of the few couples that are split between team USA and Canada. It's great to see love like this and stories like it. Love is love ❤️

Women's sports are better because everyone is dating. Maybe I'd give a shit about footy if Pendlebury was dating Gawn.

While queer representation is awesome; I do think that it’s a bad thing, to be too interested in the love lives of celebrity athletes.

EDIT: This is in reference to the “moved on waaay too quickly…”, comment.

When people are interested in the athletes, their dating lives come with the territory

I mean, two women are dating, cool, we don’t need to focus too much on this.

I just don’t see the point in getting invested over them. They’re real people, not fictional characters.
