U.S. women's team snub of Christian player roils soccer
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...sparks-debate/

The celebration continued Wednesday for the U.S. women’s soccer team after its historic Women’s World Cup title, even as questions resurfaced about why one of the best players in the nation wasn’t there.

Jaelene Hinkle, a 26-year-old star for the North Carolina Courage professional team, has been called the top left defender in the U.S. game, but she wasn’t selected for the national team — a decision that may have had more to do with politics than prowess.

In 2017, Hinkle turned down a call-up from the national team for a pair of international friendlies after learning that the players would wear rainbow-themed jerseys in honor of Gay Pride Month. She said later that the uniform conflicted with her Christian faith.

“I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn’t my job to wear this jersey,” she told “The 700 Club” in a May 2018 interview. “I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.”

Hinkle has not played for the national team since. After she was left off the World Cup roster, coach Jill Ellis told reporters that the decision was “solely based on soccer,” an explanation greeted with widespread skepticism.

Conservative pundit Erick Erickson said Monday that she was “shoved aside” in a sport known for “feminist virtue signaling,” while The Irish Times ran the June 12 headline “Religious clash leaves USA’s best left back an observer of World Cup bid.”

“You do have a very activist team. It’s very much a part of the program,” said John Stonestreet, president of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The Christian player is black, and the homo loving team is almost all white. So much for diversity. Diversity goes right out the window if you don't love the faggots. And why the fuck is a soccer team promoting a sexual lifestyle on the field anyways

Commentary: ".......This is about Jaelene Hinkle, “a 26-year-old star for the North Carolina Courage professional team, has been called the top left defender in the U.S. game,” meaning she’s the best left defender in all of women’s soccer. But she was not selected for the national team because of politics.

You see, “In 2017, Hinkle turned down a call-up from the national team,” meaning they called her, they offered her a spot on the national team. They were gonna play a couple of games against friendly opponents as a tune-up, she turned them down. She turned down the offer after learning that the team would have to wear rainbow themed jerseys in honor of gay pride month.

She said that the uniform conflicted with her Christian faith and they rescinded the call-up, she refused to go, and she has not played for the national since. All because she didn’t want to wear — now, it’s a soccer team. What are they doing? They’re wearing the gay pride jersey. She didn’t want to. It was forced on her, a political statement was forced on her in the form of the uniform that she would have been required to wear. And it was a political statement uniform.

It was not the U.S. team uniform. It was a political statement uniform to be worn during the month of June for gay pride. She didn’t want to be forced. They said, “Okay. Screw you. Then you’re not coming on the team.”

This is a pull quote from the story: “Excluding Hinkle, however, made the team less diverse, both ideologically and racially. Not only does she hold conservative religious views, but she also would have been one of the few black players on a predominantly white team.”

This is but a small example of the point. They start this stuff, folks, they start this by forcing what are minority and obscure political positions on everybody, and a lot of people are close to reaching their fill of it. And there are vestiges of pullback.........

A team has many facets and players do have to be able to bond. If she holds animosity towards some players for their lifestyles, then it causes personality problems. A team has to be able to meld. It was for her benefit as well as the teams. Teams has to be cohesive. The coach stated it wasn’t because of her politics, maybe it was her personality or playing style? Players need to be a good fit for a team.

There are no christians in the USA. Christians are humble, studious about the bible, charitable,
peaceful and poor. Loud, boorish, hypocritical, fat, gluttonous, warmongering, ugly Americans with
fat wallets don't get to go to heaven.

You think it's jabba the hut sitting on the right hand with the father? Do you? Really?

Was it because she was 'black', or was it because she wouldn't eat white pussy? Maybe SHE was the Racists???

Interesting that professional sports teams have a severe turnover of players, yet can still remain highly competitive. Why might that be?

.........in 2017 Hinkle drew criticism when she declined to play in two matches for the U.S. women’s national team, reportedly because she didn’t want to wear special team jerseys recognizing Gay Pride Month.

'It wasn't my job'
She later told the Christian Broadcasting Network’s “The 700 Club” that she opposed the jerseys for religious reasons.

“I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn’t my job to wear this jersey,” Hinkle told the program. “I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.”

Shortly after the interview aired, Hinkle was loudly booed in liberal Portland, Ore., when her North Carolina Courage team played against the Portland Thorns, the Irish Times reported.

Contrast with Rapinoe
Later, Hinkle was dropped from the U.S. national team for reasons solely related to soccer, team officials claimed, according to the newspaper. But the report noted that Hinkle’s public persona contrasts sharply with that of Team USA captain Megan Rapinoe, who also plays in the NWSL.

While Hinkle stands by her religious beliefs, the Times noted, Rapinoe has drawn public attention for such gestures as supporting former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protests and for posing nude with her girlfriend, WNBA basketball player Sue Bird.......

US Womens Soccer has been hijacked by Rapinoe and her homosexual message. Jaelene Hinkle was considered to be best back but not allowed to participate due to refusal to wear “gay pride” Jersey due to religious reasons
