Antonella Gonzalez, a young mother from Argentina, plays basketball.
She evolves in D 1 of the championship of her country.
So far, nothing incredible.
Except that she became, in a few minutes, a star on her native land and on social networks around the world.
At half-time in the match between her team from Rocamora, and Vélez Sarsfield, last Sunday, the 30-year-old was photographed breastfeeding her 11-month-old baby, a little girl named Madi on the chairs replacements.
The image, both touching and at the same time unusual, immediately went viral.
Antonella Gonzalez then toured the TV shows.
"I was surprised that something so natural that breastfeeding for a mother generates so many repercussions," she told the site of La Liga Femenina, the Argentinian basketball league.
I hope that my example will be useful to indecisive moms who think that after a pregnancy, they cannot return to an activity.

Psychomotor therapist by profession, Antonella Gonzalez did not need to ask her trainer for permission to breastfeed at length.
It is his own sister, therefore the baby's aunt, who trains Rocamora.
Even before this episode, little Madi was already Rocamora's mascot.
She is now the star: “The group is incredible and she is part of it, says, again, her mother.
They give me an incredible helping hand, whether it's carrying it or helping me with the bags.
Sometimes an extra pair of arms is needed and I have had a lot more than one.
Sometimes I just need someone to take care of them to go for a walk to organize me and they're always there.

During this match against Vélez Sarsfield, undefeated leader of the Argentine championship, Antonella Gonzalez played 25 minutes and scored 8 points.
And since then, Vélez Sarsfield is no longer undefeated.
