Josh Cavallo accuses Adelaide United of institutional homophobia

HonestSpursFan said:
Damn, Craig. Directly calling out Josh for not working hard and looking for other opportunities behind the scenes? This shit is crazy.

The context missing here is that this occurred whilst Craig was at the club. What Cavallo is complaining about occurred last season when Craig wasn't at the club.

Yeah I'm not saying he's wrong but damn bold of him to use those specific words.

The title of this post has the word ‘institutional’ which may suggest it’s been there for a while
 
Craig is one of the most genuine people in Australian football. I don’t picture him as a liar, and certainly not as a homophobe.

Not saying Adelaide don’t have issues, but there appears to be a severe difference in view on what they are and how to address them.

Cavallo in his Instagram post specifically mentioned the new management

Apologies if the title is confusing, as he didn't directly say "institutional". Institutional homophobia just refers to homophobia in an organisation, so I thought that would be the correct term to use. Whether it exists institutionally at all is up for debate let alone how long it's been going on for, but he only said under the new management of the club.

Yeah I'm inclined to agree, when the club, a club legend and the club captain all come out and basically call the allegations bullshit doesn't exactly help.

Maybe he felt like he was being left out for being gay, but in reality he was probably left out for not being good enough. As for the other stuff, I really wish people in general actually came out with details when they accuse people of bullying, specifically who was doing it. In a squad of 20+ players I highly doubt every single one or even a majority were bullying him.

Looks like pretty much everyone is on Adelaide's side. Craig coming out with such a strong statement definitely would help sway opinions, including my own. He's a genuine bloke from what I know.

Edit: what do we think these "outside opportunities" were?

i guess the tricky part is the details from Josh's perspective could be personal

the tricky thing is we should probably ask culture to reserve having any opinion on either party at all, so they are both innocent till proven guilty.

Missing a game to go to an awards show and setting up his hotel in Bali are a couple of those
 
Having said that, whilst I agree with what Goodwin said, I also think Cavallo is telling the truth as well. Both things can be true.

Especially as what Cavallo is alleging happened last season when Goodwin was not at the club.
 
Can we just stop giving this bloke air time? - Dragging his 'own' club that he got married in and then dissing the management that allowed him to randomly fuck off to events in London mid-season lol

Why drop all this the week of the 'Pride' game? Based on his recent business ventures, it all seems like a social media engineered funnel.

It geninuely reeks of an SMA doing their job, we now will look forward to buying the first ever 'GAY' crypto!
 
Rather bizarre seeing the two contrasting situations involving two gay athletes at Adelaide sporting clubs. Cavallo does this to United yet 300m up the road Isaac Humphries has been an integral part of the 36ers push to end its 2 decade long title drought.
