Madrid: The tweet of former Spanish footballer Iker Casius, who turned out to be gay, disappeared within hours. “I hope you respect me, I’m gay,” Kasius wrote on his Twitter account. In response, Carlos Puyol, Casillas’ teammate in the Spanish squad, wrote: “Time to tell our stories, Ikar”.
Puyol’s tweet was also deleted. Cassius later tweeted that someone had hacked his Twitter account and apologized to the LGBT community. “The account was hacked. Fortunately everything is back to normal. I apologize to all my followers. I apologize of course to the LGBT community” – wrote Cassius in Spanish on Twitter.
At the same time, Australian footballer Joshua Cavallo, who turned out to be gay, came forward with harsh criticism of Kasius. Joshua replied that he was worried about facing such a mockery from the soccer field. Casius was a member of the Spanish team that won Eurocups 2008 and 2012 and the 2010 World Cup.
