4:35pm ET - For much of his life
professional soccer player Robbie Rogers
lived in paralyzing fear that revealing he was gay would cost him the life and
career he had built for himself; and as a result he never told anyone about his
sexual orientation. Robbie, like many in
the hyper masculine professional sports world believed that he could not be a
professional athlete and an out gay man at the same time. However, last year, at the age of twenty-five
and after stepping away from a brilliant career—one that included an NCAA
Championship, winning the Major League Soccer Cup, and competing in the
Olympics—he chose to risk it all and tell the truth. But instead of facing the
feared rejection, he was embraced—by his family, by his teammates, and his
fans. Robbie, who currently plays for
the L.A. Galaxy, joins us today to talk about his memoir Coming Out To Play and what it’s like to be an out gay man
in the world of professional men’s sports. You can also follow Robbie on twitter and facebook and instagram.
