“Women’s Soccer Star Turns Down USWNT Invite Over Pride Month Jersey.”

The decision by Jaelene Hinkle last year didn’t come with an explanation at the time. The 25-year-old defender for the North Carolina Courage told Christian talk show The 700 Club this week that she turned down a 2017 call-up to the U.S. national team because of the jersey the team wore for two friendlies to honor the LGBTQ community. Hinkle said she “felt so convicted in my spirit that it wasn’t my job to wear this jersey.”

News travels fast: She received some boos on Wednesday in Portland when her Courage beat the Thorns. Some in the crowd waved rainbow flags. One fan brought a banner saying “Personal Reasons” in rainbow colors, a clap back to the original given reason for Hinkle’s choice. Hinkle didn’t do any interviews after the match.

Some will dismiss her as a homophobe or deride her as someone whose fundamentalist views equate to contempt for an entire group of people. But those who want context can listen to her story. And then listen to a thoughtful reply.

  1. In some twisted way, the LBGTQXYZ123 writer is giving a pass to Hinkle because she is black. I’m certain of it. More post-modern relativism on display; saying “It’s all good” when it is not. How majestically “tolerant” of the saintly writer.

  2. Let the team put a cross on their jerseys and see how many support their team.

    For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

  3. Just like everything else the left does now they’ve bastardized the entire month of June by designating it pride month. Gimme a friggin break! Being a queer, a lesbian or a bi sexual freak or any other freaky non gender is something I wouldn’t want to be proud of. I hate parades anyway and pride parades in particular.

  4. I had the i ❤️ Radio app on iPad so I could listen to conservative talk radio stations.
    Yesterday I got an email from them boasting about Pride (pride goes before the fall) radio during Pride month.
    I ❤️ Radio app is deleted!

  5. F**k U, you destroyers of all that’s good. I ridicule any attempt to make me bow to this. Much like when I’m asked if I’m taking Martin Luther King Day off – “Oh, is that what today is?” (legitimate reaction because I really haven’t noticed) Not one black person that asked has me that question has continued that line of conversation. It won’t be in any of my conversations except for dressing down any acquaintance that may try to screw with me over it.

    You’re not taking my B-day month.

    I was born on Father’s day and you can’t even reproduce by sucking each other and putting it everywhere else than where is was meant to go. You’re making hell on earth.

    I want my rainbow back, bitches.

    My first car was a light blue 1974 VW bug with a rainbow sticker in the back window. I loved the car and the sticker. I want my rainbow back too, bitches!

  7. Just remember, it’s not Liberalism unless your life, livelihood, and everything you stand for is threatened for not cowering before their political idol of hypocracy. Once again, it’s an absolute joy to see so-called ‘anti-fascists’ be glowing examples of fascism.

  8. Congratulations to Ms. Hinkle for having the strength to stand up for her core standards and values. We need more of her type of people not those who defend perversions or molly coddle weirdos. My hat’s off to you maam.

  9. Just wait, you’ll start seeing pride month celebrated in schools. Rainbows everywhere. Disney has a sponsored employee group that is marching in the OC pride day. It’s part of then nudging, part of the mainstreaming.

  10. Wife’s brother (one of them) pasted a Facebook message about putting a rainbow 🌈 on the door to keep Mike Pence away.
    Wrong and sac religious on so many levels. Coop ting the rainbow, making fun of Passover,and equating Christian VP Pence to angel of death.

  11. Tolerance is dead, if there ever was any. If you do not EMBRACE the LGTQ, you will face their wrath. You MUST approve of it. Silence is not an option. Silence is a form of disapproval. I can see one day when this group demands businesses put a rainbow sticker on their windows to show how “tolerant” they are to LGBT. Businesses that refuse will be destroyed. Mark my words.

  12. Homosexuality – a shameful, deviant, perverted behavior that used to be grounds for being kicked out of society. Now society treats it like a normal thing. What a crazy world.

  13. This girl has courage. I think maybe so does her team. I wonder how many teams would kick her off or suspend her for a number of games.
    Homosexuals claim to want tolerance but we all know that it’s a one way street with them. Sexually and concerning tolerance.
