Sports fans mourn the loss of journalist Grant Wahl. He made an indelible mark on the soccer world and beyond.
Always a professional while covering everything from Lebron James high school and early NBA days to FIFA soccer and the World Cup for many organizations, including Sports Illustrated and ESPN.
The American journalist says he was detained in Qatar for wearing a rainbow shirt and said he received death threats.
Wahl leaves behind a legacy of journalistic integrity and conviction. He wore the rainbow flag shirt days before his sudden death.
Wahl worked for CBS Sports and had a popular Substack column. He wore the shirt as a show of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community to the game at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium. Homosexuality is illegal in Qatar.
The World Cup athletes are thinking of his wife Celine Gounder, MD, ScM, FIDSA, and his family during this difficult time.
