Coming out to play
Rogers, Robbie2014
Book
When Robbie Rogers stepped out onto the field as a winger for LA Galaxy in May last year, he made history as the first openly gay man to play in a major US professonal sport. Just a few months earlier Robbie came out, only the second footballer in Britain to do so, and decided to quit football for good. 'Coming out to Play' describes Robbie's experiences as a closeted gay man in the rampantly heterosexual world of professional football, his decision to come out and leave behind the sport he loved, and his subsequent decision to return to football and sign for the Galaxy.
