Well That didn't take very long: Just days after he signed with the L.A. Galaxy, Robbie Rogers became the first openly gay man to play in a professional American team sport last night, when he took the field with the L.A. Galaxy in their match against the Seattle Sounders.

(NBA star Jason Collins hasn't played since coming out in Sports Illustrated.)

Even more amazing, the Galaxy quickly tweeted their support for Robbie:

Great to see everyone's support of Robbie tonight as he made history as the 1st openly gay athlete to play in American professional sports.
