Oh yeah sure, she’s persecuted for her faith (maybe look up the history of that sydney) not her boring basic person that almost never competes. It’s an open secret the Femke is a devil worshipper and that’s the true source of her power and huge fan-base.

Where was that "devil power" in the final? Hmmm...

I'm guessing that you know SML and can validate "her boring basic person"? I'm also guessing that you know her coach and have insight as to her "almost never competes" racing schedule and Olympic preparation which allowed her to set a new AR, WR and won the Olympic Gold Medal? Oh, and earned her many endorsements of which will pull in millions of dollars over the next 4 years leading to L.A. 2028 in which she will be the face of USA Track and Field, but also the entire Olympic Games.

SML & God- Winner!

BloJo Johnson & Devil- LOSER!!!

Lmao. She hasn't been cancelled, she is still immensely popular, probably only behind Sha'carri for American women in track and field. I don't care if people are religious but I do have a problem with the following:

1. you bring up your religion in every conversation, so much so that we all it's all you're going to talk about.

2. you think everyone else should follow your religion.

3. your whole personality is based around your religion and don't have much else to offer.

4. you think any criticism of this annoying aspect of your personality is an attack and probably see it as being "cancelled" or persecution.

5. you have this very odd, cult-like submissive relationship with your "personal pastor" husband.

In conclusion, you are Christian, that's great for you. But not everybody wants to hear you talk about it in every. damn. interview. Save it for Sundays and your Wednesday bible study.

You've just describes most lbgtq individuals to a T. It's their entire identity, all they talk about and any criticism is met with cries of bigotry. But something tells me you don't have a problem with that, just religion, specifically Christians. You would likely never call out Muslims for the large role religion plays in their lives. This shows that you are the bigot.

The issue is not whether McLaughlin-Levrone is a religious person or not. You would have to work pretty hard to find an Olympic athlete who wasn't very open about their faith in God. The issue is that McLaughlin-Levrone is a member of the Grace Community Church, a California megachurch. GCC is a very anti-LGBTQ church that goes as far as supporting conversion therapy and calls the Roman Catholic Church a "church of Satan" because it came out in support of blessings for same sex couples. The church is embroiled in a scandal for excommunicating a member who refused to take back her husband after he sexually molested children and allegedly protected a pastor who was a serial pedophile. And many have accused the church of being a cult that gets between parents and their children, requiring women to submit to their husbands and complete loyalty to the church's leader.

So, this whole "cancelled for my faith" post is really gaslighting in that she is not addressing the very serious allegations that have been made against her megachurch and is instead making the people who are concerned about the church into some sort of radical atheists who are out to get anyone who is outspoken about their faith in God.
