Robbie Rogers: I want to be openly gay at Qatar 2022
Gay footballer Robbie Rogers says he "would love to be" an "openly gay man" at Qatar 2022.
He said Fifa is a "bit behind" and should have "changed for the better".
Rogers believes the World Cup should not have been given to Qatar but "being present" is how you "change things".
The LA Galaxy player came out as gay in 2013 after retiring from Leeds United.
