Abby Wambach Marries Her Teammate

Helping to dispel the myth that most female athletes are lesbians, U.S. soccer star Abby Wambach married her teammate this past weekend in Hawaii. Abby and her wife Sarah Huffman both play for the Western New York Flash, a woman’s pro soccer team that draws about three thousand fans per game, or about twice that of the Florida Marlins. Women’s professional soccer faces an uphill battle in so much as women’s sports have always had a tougher time finding traction with a viewing audience. Also because nobody in this country gives a shit about soccer. The newly married couple are hoping that thoughts of sweaty teammates going down on each other in the locker room will help boost interest in their sport. It can’t hurt.
