Robbie Rogers - Footballer

Professional football has a problem with homophobia. There are gay footballers, but almost to a man they feel compelled to keep their sexual orientation a secret. Hardtalk speaks to Robbie Rogers, a US international who plays for LA Galaxy. He broke football's great taboo by very publicly coming out after a spell in English football. But why haven't other gay footballers followed his lead?
