Of course this one is a little different. It was discovered that this lady chose not to play for the Women's National Soccer team because they were wearing kits honoring the LGBTQ community.
Curious as to folks views on this.

Quote:It’s the kind of headline that can lead to more ugliness than understanding.
“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.
Curious as to folks views on this.
