Christian Women’s Soccer Player Leaves U.S. Team After Announcement Players Will Wear Jerseys Touting Gay Pride

Only two weeks after the U.S. Soccer team announced that members of both its men’s and women’s teams will wear rainbow-colored jerseys to celebrate LGBTQ month, devout Christian soccer player Jaelene Hinkle withdrew from the team.

A U.S. Soccer news release claimed Hinkle left for “personal reasons,” but it is quite possible Hinkle decided she didn’t want to endorse a position incompatible with her religious beliefs.
