Jaelene Daniels, a defender in the National Women’s Soccer League, did not participate in the North Carolina Courage’s game Friday night after refusing to wear a pride jersey, the team confirmed. A team spokesperson told media before the start of the game that Daniels, 29, would not be on the field over for Friday’s contest against the Washington Spirit due to her decision not to wear the Courage’s pride-themed jerseys.
