LOS ANGELES ??The only openly gay professional soccer player in the world is coming back from a short-lived early retirement.
On Sunday, Robbie Rogers joined the L.A. Galaxy.
He joins NBA player Jason Collins blazing the trail as the first professional gay athletes playing in their respective sports.
Rogers announced his retirement last month. He then rocked the soccer world, declaring that he was gay.
"Gay athletes are athletes.?If I go back to soccer I want to go back to soccer as, as Robbie, as a soccer player," said Rogers.?"I don't want to go back as this, this gay athlete. I love the sport, and I love being an athlete, so I just want it to be that simple."
Rogers says he is especially excited to get back on the turf of Southern California where his family lives.
