Minnesota United midfielder Collin Martin announced he is gay, making him the only active male athlete in the major professional sports leagues to come out.
Martin made the announcement on social media Friday before the Loons were to host a Pride Night at home against Dallas. He said he's been out for years with family, friends and teammates and “received only kindness and acceptance from everyone in Major League Soccer.”
The Galaxy's Robbie Rogers came out in 2013, but he retired in November. The NBA's Jason Collins and the NFL's Michael Sam also came out, but have retired.
