San Diego soccer team forfeits match after anti-gay slur

San Diego Loyal has forfeited a second-division soccer match in the United States in protest against an anti-gay slur apparently hurled at one of its players.

The comment toward openly gay player Collin Martin was said to be made near the end of the first half of Wednesday’s match against Phoenix Rising.

Loyal’s players and coaches took a knee after they came back out for the second half and then walked off to forfeit the match.
