Robbie Rogers is a man in high demand.
Rogers, who earned 18 caps for the United States men’s national team, announced his retirement from soccer after officially coming out gay in February. Earlier in the week, Rogers trained with the Los Angeles Galaxy prompting many to speculate a possible comeback to Major League Soccer this season.
During an event at Columbus Crew stadium on Thursday, Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber expressed his desire to see Rogers back in MLS.
“We’d love to see Robbie back in the league — regardless of announcement he made in February,” said Garber. “He has to figure out his future, and I hope that future is going to be in Major League Soccer.”
The Columbus Crew was getting set to face D.C. United at home when their scoreboard started burning up.
Action was swift, and it only took about 30 minutes for the Columbus Fire Department to put the blaze out, but it certainly gave fans a memorable experience. No word yet on why the fire started.
The game will continue after the heated delay. Never a dull moment!
UPDATE: Video of the fire as it smolders.

WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR.
Makes you wonder if this is how they treat their players all the time. Do they constantly yell at them on the field? Are their contracts written up in all caps? This sign effectively created more questions than it has answered.
Bolton’s Kevin Davies will leave the Championship club in the summer, but even at the age of 36 the striker has no thoughts of retiring. In fact Davies is supposedly thinking about a complete change of scenery in the MLS. Click here to find out which club he is considering joining and for the best transfers of the day.
Try to think of the dumbest red card you’ve ever seen and then compare it to this beauty. Paolo di Canio pushing the referee all those years ago? That was bad, this may be better. NY Red Bulls were trailing 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City in stoppage time. Juninho thought that keeper Jimmy Nielsen was taking too long to take a goal-kick. The rest is history.

New England defender Kevin Alston did what most people would do when he felt sick during a 1-0 defeat to FC Dallas on March 30: he told the Revolution medical staff about his concerns.
At the time, Alston could not have expected the forthcoming series of events to unfold. He submitted to a routine physical examination and underwent a series of standard blood tests after completing his 88-minute shift. And then he received a shocking diagnosis: he had chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
The former MLS All-Star took an indefinite leave of absence from the Revolution on Monday to start treatment for the slow-growing disease. He expects to return to the club at some point in the future, according to a release issued by the team.
Alston’s plight prompted an outpouring of support from within the American soccer community this week. Many prominent figures – including several players from around MLS – and scores of supporters showed their support on Twitter by tagging their messages with #GetWellKA.
He’s back!
