In 2010, Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice posted a tweet that contained a homophobic slur. The tweet read "Suck on that ... faggots!" and was posted after the Wallabies win over South Africa in a rugby union match. The tweet caused controversy and resulted in Rice losing a sponsorship deal with Jaguar. Rice later apologized for her remarks and explained that they were out of character and not intended to offend. She also received support from fellow Australian Olympic diving champion Matthew Mitcham, who condemned her as thoughtless rather than homophobic.
