'Don’t you dare say our team is ‘not a welcoming place for Christians,'' Harris said. 'You weren’t around long enough to know what this team stood for. This is actually an insult to the Christians on our team.'
accused another player of being"homophobic" for refusing to join the team because of a jersey that celebrated Pride Month.
Harris responded Monday to a year-old clip of Jaelene Hinkle that resurfaced on Twitter in which Hinkle explained that she chose not to join the national team after they asked her to wear a jersey honoring the LGBTQ community for international matches during 2017 Pride Month.."I gave myself three days to just seek and pray and determine what he was asking me to do in this situation... I knew in my spirit I was doing the right thing. I knew I was being obedient.
Harris, a goalkeeper who's one of five openly lesbian players on the national team and a two-time Women's World Cup Champion, responded to the tweet Monday and said that"religion was never the problem." 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.
