Jaelene Hinkles decision not to play for the U.S. womens national soccer team last summer was, she said, a simple one. Because of her religious beliefs, and a decision by U.S. Soccer to highlight LGBTQ pride month with special jerseys during their June 2017 friendlies, Hinkle declined a call-up from the team, something she said she had dreamed about her entire life.
I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasnt my job to wear this jersey, Hinkle said in an interview with The 700 Club, a Christian talk show, that was published this week.

“Mainly”. More and more. Sadness.
It’s always “pride” which means they inherently are insecure about themselves and obsessed with what others think. Everything is sex to them but fail to see irony that the gays and others cannot reproduce and are all for abortion. They are truly mentally ill people inside no matter how nice they appear with a fawning sycophant society.
This great lady will come out a winner in whatever endeavor she undertakes.
God bless her.
The problem is that people don't care.
A person who "knows" that human life begins at conception,could saute human embryos in a little butter and garlic and serve them on basmati rice.
It's generally (though admittedly not always) religion that gets them to the point of caring. It's a larger faith --- religious faith usually, though not always --- that gives them the doctrine, or just juices the intuitive hunch, that "human" is not totally like "animal, vegetable, or cybernetic."
It's sacred.
I do understand what you're saying about a secular approach. I did that for years.
What I have seen is that if people lose their all-in attachment to a religious scale of values, they'll get the "science" but they won't give a damn.

Exactly! That is the defining difference.
Sorry, I meant to add your insight It’s sacred that is the defining difference IMHO
You’re probably right. My curse/blessing was that in 5th grade I had an infection in my hip that took me out of school that whole year. Resulted in never having to take gym class again... ever. So I missed the experience of mass showering. (Oh darn.)
does H mean Heterosexual?
Gosh someone willing to give up a life-long dream for actual principles - too bad more “Principled Conservatives” aren’t just as willing to be “inconvenienced” for the short term as Trump tries to set us up for a solid long term.
“Gosh someone willing to give up a life-long dream for actual principles ...”
Maybe she should be hired to facilitate an “all-hands” team-building and ethics meeting for the GOP in Congress. They could use some of her backbone.
I read somewhere that up to 90% of the WNBA are lesbians.
Yeah, and the other 10% are liars...
