Bend it like Rapinoe

How many openly queer athletes are there in the Matildas? If you want to know the answer (spoiler: it is NOT the entire team), check out today’s episode, as Lea and Casey talk about queers in sports. After defining their relationship with sports and reading a mysterious caller story, our hosts go on to talk about the FIFA Women’s World Cup and some of the shining stars of the queer sports firmament, namely Megan Rapinoe and Amélie Mauresmo. And if you’d like some extra action, why not use Lea’s final pick-up line when trying to flirt with your cute queer seat neighbour at the stadium?
