Player Banned From Team USA For Her Christian Beliefs

[TemplarKormac]

If you want to see the left change sides, then for the next invite to play for the US World Cup team, require all players to wear a jersey that promotes heterosexuality.

Then let's see if they say the same thing here.

'That she was offered but turned down the invite.'

U.S. women's team snub of Christian player roils soccer
U.S. women’s team snub of Christian player roils soccer

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........(SNIP)

I love how CRCs set themselves up as such victims....combined with adding more and more lies against the National Team....the WINNING team.

 

[bodecea]

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 **** is a soccer team promoting a sexual lifestyle on the field anyways

Identity politics........funny how CRCs complain about the Left playing identity politics.

 

[bodecea]

She was offered a chance to play for the team and she said no...she snubbed the team, not the other way around.

But.....but....but....SHE'S THE VICTIM!!!!!!

 

[bendog]

Yes, they made a team decision and did not take into account individual views...as they should have done. You just refuted your claim that she was targeted.

It is a team sport, not an individual sport

Tell that to Megan Rapinoe. Because I do believe she refuted your argument about it being a "team sport". Tell that to the US Soccer Federation who chose to make these a thing.

If it were a team sport, Gator, tell me, how come all of the beliefs were not considered before they chose to go through with that publicity stunt?

Insisting on there being team cohesion like you do means being inclusive, it means considering how every player feels when they go out on the pitch, not being so presumptuous as to think the entire body of the team supports a specific agenda or cause and then shoving them aside because their beliefs don't match it.

Team game? Hardly. The concept of "team" is based on mentality, not an political agendas. The concept of "team" is based on unity, not division. And if you're willing to do something to break that mentality and cohesion, you lose the team. Regardless of how well or poorly they do after. It makes the wins sour and the losses bitter.

Have you ever been part of a team?

Do you think MLB owners take each players opinions into consideration?

On a team it is impossible to take every single opinion into consideration, then nothing would ever get done.

MLB Players are under contract. They sign away their rights to have have specific beliefs. That is why we don't hear much from baseball players about what politics they share or what sex they prefer.

As insignificant as it may seem, I played Church League Softball for 6 years. As teams, we dropped our differences on the field. We all shared a common belief in God. Whether we were Pentecostals, Baptists or Catholics, we didn't shove our interpretations of our faith down each other's throat. We didn't go out there to make political statements. Mainly a religious one, namely because that's what we were. Christians, and we acted like Christians in front of the people sitting in the bleachers.

So, it comes as a surprise to me that this team, which says it represents the US on the world stage, won't accommodate the belief of one player among all the others. Like our country's founders did. No, not to establish theocracy, but that everyone... Christian or Homosexual, was created equal and deserved to be treated equally and have their beliefs and opinions be given fair consideration.

Accommodating everyone's beliefs except one. Is that equality? It that promoting the team mentality? No.

I think the answer to your question would depend upon what was the reason the team chose to wear the gay pride unis. IF the answer is as I suspect that the team wanted to send a message to other countries that discriminate and even persecute gays that their actions are NOT ok with the US team, then the fundy Xian girl needed to suck it up and wear the frigging uni, or find a new team.

Christians get depressed if you refuse to persecute them.

 

[TemplarKormac]

But.....but....but....SHE'S THE VICTIM!!!!!!

Imagine what you would say if Rapinoe and her lesbian friends on the USWNT were invited to play for the team, the only requirement being they wear jerseys promoting something that flew in the face of their sexuality?

Can we all take a guess?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Christians get depressed if you refuse to persecute them.

Democrats get depressed when they can't foist their version of inclusivity on everyone else.

 

[CrazedScotsman]

I get it now, Christians must accommodate every group and cause no matter if it goes against their religious beliefs or not but the Christian just has to deal with it if they ask for accommodation.

The part about this whole story that bothers me the most is that this girl is being used by the right wingers to make a point that she is not even saying exist.

They are making claims about her that she has not said were true.

Do you not feel even a little bit of shame in using those girl in this manner?

 

[Third Party]

You are a lying piece of shit and a ******* moron, as usual.

She was being forced to wear a jersey that promotes sexual perverts and is anti-Christian.

Go **** off asshole.

Your OP states that she declined the call up. It was 100% her decision.

Right, but the girls have to keep religion and lifestyle out of sports.

They do not have to.

They should-it is a distraction for them and the fans-as shown by this girl and the Americans who turned their sets off-keep politics OUT of sports!

Bullshit. If all these women were married with children you wouldn't be saying this.

So start turning off your TV when baseball plays in camouflage uniforms or used pink bats. Or when college teams do the same. Tell Dabo Swinney to stop making reference to God every time he interviews. Stop watching football because the teams pray on the field after the games. No more national anthem and flag solutes before games. No playing the US National Anthem at international matches or Olympic medal ceremonies. No more teams can be invited to the white house. As usual, we are reading hypocrisy from the Americans in name only fakes because these women chose not to worship the bigot god-Donald Trump.

Has nothing to do with Trump, you twit. Read the post-sports, politics. Pink bats are to combat a disease, don't know Dabo, they should not pray on field, National Anthem is apolitical-both sides stand for it, no white house. We agree more than disagree, but you sound desperate to spit your point out. What does married with children have to do with anything? You probably want to rethink that.

 

[TemplarKormac]

I think the answer to your question would depend upon what was the reason the team chose to wear the gay pride unis.

Curious...

The reason should have been clear to everyone. "We support gay pride whether you do or not". They were promoting a particular segment of the American population. Whereas being a national team, they should have be promoting everyone in the USA instead.

Gay? Lesbian? Bi? Trans?

They represent them.

Christian? Jew? Muslim? Atheist?

They represent them too.

Democrat? Republican? Independent? Libertarian?

They represent them as well. They should represent them all.

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.........

Or their real motivation could be to throw it in the faces of every American who has a moral issue with being gay.

She refused to wear gay clothes. There is no honor in gayness, but there's a heap of dishonor.

"gay clothes"? What the heck are "gay clothes"?

And another seat on the victim bus gets filled. All aboard!

Well met, my yellow robotic hedonist friend.

Curious, I wonder... why are we downplaying her complaints? If someone is being mistreated, is it not common decency to hear them out?

Or is it just proper to mockingly call them a "victim" and dismiss them entirely?

Turns out she is not the one complaining. She accepts it all as part of God’s plan. Others are using her for political purposes.

I bet Todd Starnes is in this mix somewhere. He's the biggest CRC liar out there.
