Retired USWNT player Abby Wambach is recognised as one of the most successful football players in the world. Before her retirement in 2015, Wambach had scored the most international goals of any player, male or female, in history, though she's since been passed for that title.
After winning the 2015 World Cup, Wambach went to the stands to kiss her then-spouse, Sarah Huffman. Speaking to ESPN about the moment, Wambach said, "I wanted to share that moment with her because she knows all the ups and downs going on in my life as an older player, whether I was starting or not starting. I just wanted to share that moment with her. I have never been ashamed of my sexuality. Ever. I am not going to scream it from the rooftops, but I sure want to share that moment with my better half."
