The video is infuriating as the Phoenix coach says "What's the big deal?" Donavon responds "We're trying to get this out of the game. This is homophobia". Phoenix coach back to one of the greatest American players to play soccer: "how long have you been playing soccer?".

Multiple sources, including the audio of Tarek Morad (32) at 0:30, confirm the slur used by Junior Flemmings was "batty boy," a Jamaican slang term for a gay or effeminate man.

Fair play to @SanDiegoLoyal. For some additional context: Collin Martin is one of the very few openly gay active mens soccer players and San Diego had also forefeited the previous game by walking off the pitch after a racial slur was made by an LA Galaxy II player.

In the first half a member of Phoenix Rising used a homophobic slur directed at Collin Martin. In response we have decided to walk off the pitch in protest.

Solidarity with our member Gaston who has been organizing alongside his union comrades against wage cuts to paramedics and EMTs in this pandemic. Medical workers have been exploited by governments worldwide, and we stand with them in their struggle, from Hong Kong to Oakland. https://t.co/1ObHEg85O5
