Within a week, Landon Donovan‘s San Diego Loyal team has chosen to forfeit two matches due to racist and homophobic comments from opposition players.
Donovan never made an impression with me as a player but this is an almost meteoric breakthrough in dealing with the many bigoted idiots within the game. Love him for supporting his players’ choice in taking a stand.
The other coach, Rick Schantz, comes across like a neanderthal in this exchange, given the player receiving homophobic abuse is openly gay:
Total respect for Donovan:
