San Diego Loyal SC just scored a major goal — for shutting down homophobia! On Wednesday, the professional soccer team walked off the field during a match that it was winning!
Why? Because an opposing team member allegedly hurled a homophobic slur at openly gay player Collin Martin.
RED CARD! The team’s official Twitter account took to the platform to explain the walk-off, telling followers that a member of Phoenix Rising “used a homophobic slur directed at Collin Martin.” The statement continued: AH-Mazing!
According to NBC Sports, San Diego was winning the match 3-1 when they decided to call it quits, which likely cost the team their chance at making the playoffs.
