Claim Motherhood! A Player Breastfeeds Her Daughter At A Basketball Game
Only 11 months after Antonella González – Tomás de Rocamora’s basketball player – gave birth, she was in charge of promoting the moment that has gone around the world. And he did not hesitate for a second and took the initiative to breastfeed his baby when he was on the bench. Thus, the phrase repeated on the networks was “A player breastfeeds her daughter in a match.
With the naturalness of the case, and as the sixth day of the Women’s Basketball League progressed, he decided to ask that his daughter be brought closer, he lifted his team shirt and prepared to feed his little girl.
Beyond an act that moved everyone, the player’s intention was also to show that pregnancy does not represent a limitation for athletes to recover their best physical version. In other words: it is possible to adapt the fact of being a mother and having to exert yourself in a superlative way in each game.
As anecdotal data, the match ended with a 61-44 victory against Vélez Sarsfield for Antonella González’s team. In addition, he left his contribution within the game rectangle with 8 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. However, what made her the leading figure outweighs any statistical assessment that can be made.
Motherhood evolves from the player who breastfeeds her daughter
After the match, the 30-year-old player, who works as a point guard and has a degree in psychomotor skills, made statements that close the cycle of greatness outlined above.
His words granted to radio LT9 were the following: “the truth is that I was surprised that something as natural for a mother as breastfeeding generated such an impact. But I am happy and I am happy that we are made to see, that something like this is visualized.
But this was not all, since she added the following: “that this works for the mothers who are there, undecided, who think that after a pregnancy they cannot return to activity. That they believe that it is possible ”.
The truth is that Antonella had not performed an action of this style in front of her teammates on any previous occasion. However, he emphasized that it was assumed calmly and naturally. Despite the fact that in some countries of the world there is still a long way of acceptance to go.
The displays of affection and support on the networks did not wait. It all started when the Twitter account of the Tomás de Rocamora club congratulated its player for her performance, discipline and unwavering conviction to return in full physical condition months after leaving due to pregnancy.
Let us remember that it is not the first time that events of these characteristics have occurred in favor of motherhood. This act joins that of Maria Kang ( fitness instructor ), Sally Brouwer (personal trainer), Ona Carbonell (Olympic swimmer) and Irina Pop (handball player).
Mothers who conquer different spaces
Until a few years ago, motherhood showed a high degree of incompatibility with sports and with any public office of great weight. Fortunately, many spaces have been conquered in order to benefit mothers. The truth is that the world is showing a development from the courage of those affected and it is not only noticeable in sport.
The recent conquest has been evidenced by a British official who made history by being the prime minister who receives maternity leave. As strange as it may seem, before this fact the only alternative that existed was resignation.
To this end , the attorney general, Suella Braverman, will receive the corresponding payment and will return to her duties at the end of the agreed period of time for the progress of her pregnancy. Ultimately, the queen was in charge of making the appropriate changes to a law that did not adapt to the current and balanced society that it defends.
Mothers are taking their rightful place, so every gesture in sport, with the player breastfeeding her daughter, politics, with the minister on maternity leave, art or any other scenario is a step towards front. Long live the mothers!
