How Soccer Deals with Gay Players
In recent media, a player by the name Robbie Rogers came out and told the media that he was gay. He was afraid that he's career was over and would never be able to play soccer again. In actuality, he was wrong. A lot people looked up to him and told him that his career wasn't over. After sitting out for about 4 months, he signed for the LA Galaxy. He is the first soccer player to be openly gay and still be playing soccer. He also has received an opportunity to play on the national team from the head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Robbie Rogers is now looked up to by a lot of soccer players and other players from different sports. Many soccer players accept the fact that he is gay and don't really think of it when they play against him. Robbie doesn't even think about it either. Robbie is starting something that could go internationally. Maybe in the next couple of years, more soccer players or players in different sports will come out and tell the media that they are gay. And I don't think that people will react to much about it.
