Robbie Rogers who was playing soccer for the U.S. soccer team then switched to England's Leeds United, had a huge secret on his chest. He came out after he was done playing on the US team that he was gay. He told everyone over an emotional blog. He is 25 years old. Rogers is one of the first known professional soccer players to come out and say that they are gay. Being that popular and keeping that secret inside is something huge and would be very hard. He said that he needs to choose between being himself or being a soccer player, and he isn't able to keep that in anymore. He almost makes it sound like he is not able to play soccer anymore, and that he wont be. Playing soccer would take him away from his big secret, it would make him happy. Many people are supporting him with his choice to come out and tell people about this.
