For Major League Soccer's RobbieRogers, breaking another barrier for gay athletes by becoming the first openly gay male to compete in a major U.S. professional team sport marked the latest step in his long journey.
The sports world is evolving, and RobbieRogers is among those leading the way. The Galaxy midfielder took the field in Sunday's win against the Sounders as the first openly gay player in MLS history. He called the moment "perfect" and "normal."
LOS ANGELES: RobbieRogers first tried to play down the historic aspect of becoming the first openly gay man to play in a major North American team sports league, but the Los Angeles Galaxy winger finally gave in.
