Accusations have arisen against the U.S. women’s soccer team stating they snubbed Christian player Jaelene Hinkle because of her bold declaration of faith and her commitment to stay true to her beliefs.

And in an ironic move that seems to indicate there is some merit to those accusations, backup goalie for the women’s team, Ashlyn Harris slammed Hinkle, calling her “intolerant” and “homophobic.”

Because how dare she uphold the righteous standards of God that says homosexuality is a sin. Insert eye rolls here.

via The Daily Wire:

Harris’ comments were prompted not by Hinkle, who has not commented on the uproar, but by Catholic advocate and staunch pro-life champion Obianuju Ekeocha, who tweeted on Sunday: “Jaelene Hinkle, is the 26-year-old American footballer who gave up the opportunity to be in the USWNT. I was very curious to know what happened so I went in search of her interview with CBN. Apparently, the US women’s Football team is not a very welcoming place for Christians.”

Harris, apparently furious, attacked Hinkle, who had not provoked the situation. She started by hurling slurs:

Hinkle, our team is about inclusion. Your religion was never the problem. The problem is your intolerance and you are homophobic. You don’t belong in a sport that aims to unite and bring people together. You would never fit into our pack or what this team stands for.

Um, pardon me, ma’am, but doesn’t the very fact you’re attacking her for sticking to her belief system kind of prove her point? You’re actually doing the very thing you’re team is being accused of.

Perhaps I’m just not understanding correctly? Nah. I’m right on the money and so is everyone else who thinks these morons don’t have a single clue what the word “tolerance” actually means.

Maybe someone ought to get these ladies a couple of dictionaries for the locker room so they can brush up on basic English words and their meanings?

Jaelene Hinkle, 26, “has been called the top left defender in the U.S. game,” according to The Washington Times. Fox News noted Hinkle “helped her team win the NWSL championship and previously helped it win a title in 2016 when it was known as the Western New York Flash.”

But none of that apparently mattered to the women’s team. The Irish Times, which called Hinkle “the finest left-back in the NWSL,” wrote in June, “Hinkle likely would have been a fish out of water on the uber-woke women’s national team, some of whose biggest stars are openly lesbian, raising questions about whether she would have thrown off the squad’s chemistry.”

That’s because Hinkle has been quite open about her Christian faith. In 2015, Hinkle objected publicly to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, writing on Instagram:

Jesus didn’t come to save those who already believed in Him. He came so that the lost, rejected, and abandoned men and women would find Him and believe. I believe with every fiber in my body that what was written 2,000 years ago in the Bible is undoubtedly true. It’s not a fictional book. It’s not a pick and choose what you want to believe. You either believe it, or you don’t. This world may change, but Christ and His Word NEVER will.

My heart is that as Christians we don’t begin to throw a tantrum over what has been brought into law today, but we become that much more loving. That through our love, the lost, rejected, and abandoned find Christ.The rainbow was a convent (sic) made between God and all his creation that never again would the world be flooded as it was when He destroyed the world during Noah’s time. It’s a constant reminder that no matter how corrupt this world becomes, He will never leave us or forsake us. Thank you Lord for your amazing grace, even during times of trial and confusion.

Love won over 2,000 years ago when the greatest sacrifice of all time was made for ALL mankind.

Thank God for women like Hinkle who have an actual heart for the gospel and aren’t intimidated by these crazy people on the left. She’s been open about her faith and has taken hits for it, bringing much glory to God.

Keep it up, Hinkle! God is with you!
