I am happy with how the MLS/ESPN/American FC* addressed Robbie Rogers being the first publicly out gay professional athlete in North America.
As much as I have been bothered by soccer coverage/commentary in the past, true professionalism and humanism was exuded by everyone involved with the Robbie Rogers story.
Thank You Robbie Rogers and Portland’s LGBT FC* for having a conversation that ultimately led to Robbie returning to the Beautiful Game.
Kudos to the Timbers Army and other MLS supporters that ushered in this monumentally minor acceptance of basic humanity to the MLS FC*.
