Manager Landon Donovan and his team walk off field after an opposing player calls one of his own players a gay slur

The incident that turned a second-tier soccer club into front-page news began with a disputed whistle.

San Diego Loyal midfielder Collin Martin began jawing with Phoenix Rising forward Junior Flemmings over a late first-half yellow card that resulted in a San Diego free kick.

“It got personal pretty fast,” Martin told Yahoo Sports. “He used some bad language toward me and it got to the point where I was like, ‘Wow, this guy is super disrespectful.’ ”

When Martin got upset, Flemmings allegedly escalated the argument. According to Martin, the Jamaican made a homophobic reference to the fact that Martin is openly gay.

“[He] called me ‘batty boy,’ which I knew basically translates to f-----,” Martin said.

The alleged slur directed at Martin came one week after another San Diego player was the target of bigotry. A Los Angeles Galaxy II defender called one of the Loyal’s Black players the n-word.

Whereas the Loyal kept playing last week only to retroactively forfeit in protest, this time they made a much stronger statement. They walked off the field together en masse at the start of the second half, torpedoing their faint playoff hopes and leaving Martin in tears.

Welcome back OP

A black guy discriminating someone for something he didn't choose is kinda ironic tbh.

Maybe this is the real reason Klinsmann hated him.
