MATTHEW MITCHAM GETS FIRST NATIONAL SPONSOR?

They said it was impossible, but we’re hearing reports that openly gay gold medal Olympian Matthew Mitcham is about to sign on his first national sponsor, just as he inks a deal with the same management as Ian Thorpe.

There has been much debate in the media about Mitcham’s sexuality, and the possible effect that it might have on his chances to land quality sponsors, but SameSame.com.au’s spies have been digging around and they’ve come up gold.



The rumours come just as it was announced today that Mitcham has appointed Grand Slam International as his new managers, joining the same stable as Ian Thorpe and Leisel Jones.

Grand Slam International managing director David Flaskas said he was delighted to have Mitcham as part of the Grand Slam International team. “Matthew is an outstanding young athlete whose performance in Beijing was breathtaking. He acted with great modesty and sportsmanship in light of his success and that has endeared him to all Australians,” Flaskas said.

trato de no olvidar los momentos quese vivieron durante las olimpiadas este año, sobre todo la felicidad que se siente al ver hombres como Matthew, no solo por ser quien es sino por su fantastico ejemplo de persona
