'Unashamed': Christian Soccer Player Gets Benched for Refusing to Wear an LGBT Jersey

In sports, biology has been substantially replaced by “gender.” Therefore, in women’s athletics, players may participate by way of identity.

 

But what if one’s identity is conventionally Christian?

 

Such a question came up this weekend in North Carolina. Concerning uniforms, the state’s National Women’s Soccer League franchise made an ideological choice. Friday night was “Pride Night,” and the Courage’s attire was made to match.

A shirt-showing team tweet announced, “Thank you to @TheFreshMarket for supporting us on Pride Night…and for your valued partnership with the club!”

 

But one player didn’t like the dress: Jaelene Daniels, 29, refused to emblazon her chest with the Rainbow. Subsequently, she was sidelined.

The team released a statement prior to the game:

Jaelene will not be rostered tonight as she has made the decision to not wear our Pride jersey.

They respected her right to forfeit eligibility:

While we’re disappointed with her choice, we respect her right to make that decision for herself. We’re excited to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community with our fans, players and staff tonight and look forward to hosting our first ever Pride Festival before kickoff.

You could say she didn't sell her birthright (Soul?) for a mess of pottage.

Sometimes heroism is something as simple as Not going along with The Crowd.
