Last night, the San Diego Loyal walked off the field in their match against the Phoenix Rising after a Phoenix player used a homophobic slur against Collin Martin. This comes on the heels of a racial slur being used by (now former) Los Dos player Omar Ontiveros against a San Diego Loyal player. Racism, homophobia, sexism, and all kinds of hate and discrimination have a place in this sport, in any sport, or in society at all. I applaud Collin Martin, his teammates, Landon Donovan, and the entire San Diego Loyal organization for walking off the pitch to stand up for their teammate and for what is right.
