There are plenty of big headlines surrounding the U.S. women’s national team ahead of the Tournament of Nations, but the biggest headline isn’t just about soccer.
On Wednesday, North Carolina Courage outside back Jaelene Hinkle was named to the USWNT training camp roster. She’s back with the national team for the first time since she declined a call-up in June 2017 because the team was to wear rainbow-colored jersey numbers in honor of Pride Month.
Hinkle didn’t speak about the decision for a long time, but finally admitted the truth in an interview with the Christian Broadcast Network show “The 700 Club” that published in late May.
