Christian Soccer Player: I Was Being ‘Obedient’ to God by Refusing Rainbow LGBT Jersey
LifeSite News ^ | 6/5/18 | Claire Chretien

June 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – The Christian soccer player who bowed out of the U.S. women’s national soccer team last year has confirmed it was because her faith conflicted with wearing a jersey celebrating gay “pride.”

“I just felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn't my job to wear this jersey,” the player, Jaelene Hinkle, said in a new interview with the 700 Club. “I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what [God] was asking me to do in this situation.”

Hinkle told the 700 Club that she wrestled with her Christian faith – to which she’d first committed at age 12 – and trying to fit in throughout her soccer career and college. But when she got a blood clot during her junior year at Texas Tech, she faced the possibility of never being able to play soccer again.

“Everything just came crashing down,” she said, and she promised God that if she’d be allowed to play soccer again, it would be for Him.

The blood clot subsided, and the doctor told her, “you have gotten a miracle,” she recalled. After that, “I wanted to know anything and everything about the Lord.”

I am tired of these sodomites demanding that we normals celebrate their perversity.

I for one won’t do it.

I’m glad this woman had the courage to do so as well. Maybe of a few more pushed back, we wouldn’t be subjected to this crap.

They don’t seek equality. They revile breeders and want you to bow before their superiority.

so much for them saying it was their private business in the bedroom, and they want to be left alone.
Some on here fell for their lying crap, and now look at what we have.
A bunch of mentally sick people pushing their perversion onto us, and then now telling us we have to celebrate what they do and how they like their sex.

That's exactly what I was thinking of... Who doesn't want to wear the ribbon?

Twenty years ago it was a joke. Now they are trying to make it mandatory.

Exactly right.

They have used the mantle of “victim” to gain unprecedented power and influence.

This whole acceptance and celebrate perversity is the mark of the beast, at least a big part of it.

Al Sharpton has to be butthurt because after all of his shakedown rackets on corporations he still doesn’t have a seat on a board of directors. Even Hillary got one of those in the 80s.

Yep, and you hardly can turn on a show today, or a movie without some homosexual being in it.
Sickening, and sad that I have had to tell my kids the truth about these people,and their agenda

As in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah . . . and people are not heeding the signs of the times. Woe to the parents and grandparents who do not tell their kids and grandkids about Jesus and the Plan of Salvation. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. (Luke 17:2)

It was only on the number. I would just grinned and beared it and if it meant me not playing. And then I would have thrown it in the trash afterwards.
