Robbie Rogers Talks Locker Room Culture & More To CBS This Morning
Recently Robbie Rogers made history as the first openly-gay athlete to play in a game from a U.S. pro league. The 26-year-old athlete sat down with Charlie Rose, Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell on CBS This Morning to talk about his coming out, joining the LA Galaxy and the state of gay players in professional sports. When asked if he expects things to change regarding the latter, he said.
“Once athletes figure out that or realize that they won’t be treated any differently, and that they’ll be judged on their performance, just like any athlete, then I think they’ll all feel free to be open with people.”
Rogers also discussed the locker room and how that environment might deter other athletes from coming out.
