To be honest my initial reaction was one of shock. This is my fourth season back in the MLS and I&rsquo;ve yet to hear another player use that or any other <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> slur during a game. I quickly became enraged, I spent the drive home wishing I had channeled my inner Zidane and punched or head-butted this player even though I knew punching this person wouldn&rsquo;t have helped either of us, my team, or the greater cause of advancing equality in sports. I went to bed upset last night. Angry at this player and and his ignorance. Angry at myself for not doing more in the moment. Sad the we still <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> in a time where this kind of intolerance still exists in my sport and elsewhere. And if I&rsquo;m being honest, I was even a bit ashamed that a single word could make me feel, even just for a moment, all the awful feelings I felt for so many years: small, less than, wrong, and unworthy of love and respect by my family or god forbid by my teammates.<\/p>\n<p>But it was just for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>Minutes later my head was back in the game. And this morning even most of the anger has faded and the predominant emotions left are just love and gratitude. I&rsquo;m happy that I practiced restraint worthy of my sport. I&rsquo;m thankful for the many players on my team and even the opposing one who apologized to me for one <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a>&rsquo;s actions. Today, I woke up grateful to work in organization filled with so many players and coaches who have worked hard to practice tolerance of everyone and to help change a culture.<\/p>\n<p>But mostly I&rsquo;m proud of myself. I am proud more than ever that I had the courage to come out as a queer <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a>. I feel so fortunate to have gotten to share my story with others and to have gotten to play this sport I love so much as an openly <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> person. I am, more than ever, thankful to have teammates and a family that love and support me for the son, brother, partner, father and queer player that I am.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;m encouraging, as I did when I came out four years ago, all athletes to find the courage within themselves to come out. Listen, only you know when and how it&rsquo;s best for you to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> your truth and share your story, but each one of you that chooses to make this courageous step is not just vastly improving your own life but literally saving others.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>RELATED:&nbsp;<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2016\/05\/robbie-rogers-world-cup\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Robbie Rogers Plans to Let His Gay Glitter Fly at the World Cup in Russia: WATCH<\/a><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The USL released a statement saying it is investigating the incident:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"550\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/USL?src=hash\">#USL<\/a> Statement on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OCvLA?src=hash\">#OCvLA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/unYrrPdb5S\">pic.twitter.com\/unYrrPdb5S<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; USL (@USL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USL\/status\/767497831729037316\">August 21, 2016<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(photo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BFH7DsVp3T_\/?taken-by=robbierogers&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/2016\/08\/robbie-rogers-queer\/\">LA Galaxy&rsquo;s Robbie Rogers: Last Night a Player Called Me a &lsquo;Queer&rsquo; Repeatedly<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.towleroad.com\/\">Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:I9og5sOYxJI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=I9og5sOYxJI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?i=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:cGdyc7Q-1BI\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=cGdyc7Q-1BI\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?a=dk-plBUAo00:vBiE9WRSq5U:YwkR-u9nhCs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/towleroad\/feed?d=YwkR-u9nhCs\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~4\/dk-plBUAo00\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" alt=\"\"><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.towleroad.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~3\/dk-plBUAo00\/\" class=\"autohyperlink\">feeds.towleroad.com\/~r\/towleroad\/feed\/~3\/dk-plBUAo00\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LA Galaxy\u2019s Robbie Rogers: Last Night a Player Called Me a \u2018Queer\u2019 Repeatedly LA Galaxy player Robbie Rogers returned to soccer last night after an injury sidelined him for a <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couple<\/a> of months.
