Resumo: The aim of this study was to investigate the discourses about homosexuality and race in sports, produced for the ‘coming out’ of a Portuguese athlete, and published in online newspapers, in the period from 2018 to 2019. It was used, as a theoretical contribution for the analysis of data, the French Discourse Analysis. The results indicated that the construction of standards that legitimize professional sport removes, silences and excludes individuals who do not conform to the ‘norm’. In the comments of the readers, the athlete's revelation was viewed with disbelief, distrust, and denial, which should not be disclosed to the public space. In the athlete’s statements, the coming out was understood as a process of revelation that has as consequence the expression of freedom and self-acceptance, and the finding of mental illness is the greatest challenge.

Se utilizó, como aporte teórico al análisis de datos, el análisis del discurso francés. Los resultados indicaron que la construcción de estándares que legitiman el deporte profesional aleja, silencia y excluye a los individuos que no se ajustan a la ‘norma’. En los comentarios de los lectores, la revelación del deportista fue vista con incredulidad, desconfianza y negación, que no debe ser divulgada al espacio público. En las declaraciones del atleta, ‘la salida del armario’ se entendió como un proceso de revelación que tiene como consecuencia la expresión de la libertad y autoaceptación, siendo la constatación de la enfermedad mental el mayor desafío.O objetivo do estudo foi investigar os discursos sobre homossexualidade e raça no meio esportivo, produzidos a partir da ‘saída do armário’ de um atleta português, e veiculados em jornais on-line, no período de 2018 a 2019.
