👉 It’s fine if they don’t want to wear it. However, Muslims and homosexuals are secretly working together to wage war against Christianity. Although the two groups have different ways and seem to hate each other; But the truth is that Islam and Sodomism both come from the same Antichrist spirit..
💭 Five Muslim football players in France’s top division, the Ligue 1, reportedly refused to play in Sunday’s fixture between Toulouse FC and Nantes in protest over a campaign against homophobia, citing religious views.
According to the Daily Mail, all Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 matches over the weekend had been dedicated to the league’s initiative against homophobia, with the numbers on the back of players’ shirts in rainbow colors.
However, a report by La Depeche du Midi stated that many members of Toulouse’s club did not support the campaign and expressed their refusal to play. The players were named as Zakaria Aboukhlal, Moussa Diarra, Fares Chaibi, Said Hamulic for Tolouse and Nantes’ Mostafa Mohamed. Logan Costa of Tolouse also did not want to play, although both he and Chaibi were named on the team sheet, according to AFP.
Mohamed, who also plays for the Egyptian national team, tweeted: “I don’t want to argue at all but I have to state my position.”
“I respect all differences. I respect all beliefs and convictions. This respect extends to others but also includes respect for my personal beliefs,” he added.
“Given my roots, my culture, the importance of my convictions and beliefs, it was not possible for me to participate in this campaign. I hope that my decision will be respected, as well as my wish not to argue about this and that everyone is treated with respect.”
French website l’Equipe reported that Mohamed refused to wear the jersey and stayed in the hotel during the game which ended in a 0-0 draw.
On his Instagram account, Moroccan player Aboukhlal explained that he “made the decision not to take part in today’s game.”
“First and foremost, I want to emphasise that I hold the highest regard for every individual regardless of their personal preferences, gender, religion or background. This is a principle that cannot be emphasised enough,” Aboukhlal said.
“Respect is a value that I hold in great esteem. It extends to others, but it also encompasses respect for my own personal beliefs. Hence, I don’t believe I am the most suitable person to participate in this campaign.”
In a statement on Sunday, Toulouse said: “Some players of the professional squad have expressed their disagreement regarding the association of their image with the rainbow colors representing the LGBT movement.”
“Respecting the individual choices of its players, and after numerous exchanges, the Toulouse Football Club has chosen to exclude these players from the game,” the Ligue 1 club added.
😲 She has become a target for criticism/mockery – including from Jimmy Fallon.
Scottish Ultra-Marathon Runner Blames Injury And Jetlag For Using Car In Race
Joasia Zakrzewski disqualified after 50-mile race
‘I made a massive error accepting the trophy’
A top Scottish ultra-marathon runner who was disqualified for using a car during a race has blamed an injury and jetlag for her decision to break the rules and then accept a trophy for third place.
Joasia Zakrzewski is facing calls for a life ban after being disqualified from the 2023 GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool 50-mile race on 7 April, after it was later discovered she had travelled by car for about 2.5 miles.
However the 47-year-old from Dumfries told BBC Scotland that her behaviour had not been malicious – and that she had only got in a friend’s car because she had been limping and wanted to tell marshals that she was withdrawing. GPS data later showed the car covered one of those miles in one minute and 40 seconds.
“When I got to the checkpoint I told them I was pulling out and that I had been in the car, and they said ‘you will hate yourself if you stop’,” Dr Zakrzewski said. “I agreed to carry on in a non-competitive way. I made sure I didn’t overtake the runner in front when I saw her as I didn’t want to interfere with her race.”
Zakrzewski, who finished 14th in the 2014 Commonwealth Games marathon and has set records in the UK over 100 and 200 miles, admitted she was wrong to pose for pictures and to accept a wooden trophy and medal when she crossed the line.
However she claimed that arriving from Australia the night before had left her jetlagged and unable to think straight. “I made a massive error accepting the trophy and should have handed it back,” she said. “I was tired and jetlagged and felt sick. I hold my hands up, I should have handed them back and not had pictures done but I was feeling unwell and spaced out and not thinking clearly.”
Wayne Drinkwater, the director of the GB Ultras race, confirmed that Zakrzewski had been disqualified “having taken vehicle transport during part of the route”.
“The matter is now with the Trail Running Association and, in turn, UK Athletics as the regulatory bodies,” he added.
Yet despite widespread anger in the ultrarunning community, the Guardian has learned that Zakrzewski may yet escape further sanction as UK Athletics and Scottish Athletics are yet to agree on who has jurisdiction over her disciplinary case given she is no longer an elite funded athlete.

😈 The devil loves to imitate, steal and deceive. He is using many things from our Lord Jesus Christ to mislead many people. One of these is the number 33, which the Luciferian Freemasons like to use.
When our Lord’s body stayed in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights, he went to Sheol in his body and soul, and returned the exiled souls (Adam and his children) to their former place. But the divinity (undivided) with the soul in Sheol; It is not separated from the body (in the grave). Our Lord stayed in Sheol as a body and soul (from Friday 9:00 p.m. to Saturday 6:00 p.m.) for 32 hours. Our Lord in his body 33/33 years on earth; We understand that he stayed in Sheol for 33 hours until his soul was united with his body and rose.

🏃 Letesenbet Gidey was the pre-race favorite and with the finishing line in sight it seemed as if the Ethiopian was to win gold with ease. But meters from the tape the 24-year-old fell, and in a blink of an eye, victory was dramatically gone.
In a spectacular conclusion to the women’s race at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia, Saturday, Kenya’s Beatrice Chebet overhauled Gidey with an impressive final kick to win the title.
With the finishing line looming, Gidey looked over her shoulder and would have sensed Chebet, the world 5000m silver medalist, sprinting towards her. It was as the Kenyan was on her shoulder that Gidey lost her footing on the uneven ground.
To make matters worse for Gidey, the reigning 10,000m world champion, she was disqualified for outside assistance after a supporter reportedly jumped the fence to assist her.
In an Instagram post, the athlete later said: “I’m doing well. Thank you for all the messages. I’ll be back. Today was a good race with a sad ending for me. Let’s take the good forward to the future.”
Olympic great Michael Johnson tweeted: “Wow! Heartbreaking for Letesenbet at World Cross Country Champs. Literally just meters from the tape!”
😈 The Kenyan ‘Winner’ made a disgusting and ignorant statement…..I, I, I kegna, kegna!
Letesenbet holds the current world records for the 5000 metres, 10,000 metres, and half marathon, which she set in October 2020, June 2021 and October 2021, respectively. She is only the second athlete after Ingrid Kristiansen from 1989–1991 to hold them simultaneously.[3] Her record in the half marathon, making Letesenbet the first debutante to set a world record in the event, broke previous mark by more than a minute.[4][5] She also holds the world best in the 15 km road race, which was also an over one-minute improvement. Letesenbet became the first woman to break the 64 and 63-minute barriers in the half marathon and the 45-minute barrier in the 15 km. She recorded the fastest women’s marathon debut in history at the 2022 Valencia Marathon, placing her sixth on the respective world all-time list.
♰ A Christian group is spending $100 million on a new campaign to promote Jesus Christ and the values they believe he held.
The “He Gets Us” campaign has already started appearing online and will take over billboards and airwaves across the nation with the goal of presenting Jesus in a new light to Millennials and Gen Z, according to Christianity Today.
The group’s TV commercials — including a $20 Million Super Bowl ad, per The Washington Post — and content optimized for other high-profile platforms were created with assistance from Michigan-based marketing agency Haven.
🏈 Super Bowl viewers this Sunday may be surprised to see two ads that don’t seem to have anything to do with Christianity until the end when the words “Jesus” and “He Gets Us” flash across the screen.
The He Gets Us ads running during the Super Bowl, the most watched U.S. event of the year, were created by a nondenominational group to share the message of Christ’s love to whole new audiences.
💭 Here Are 3 Things To Know About The ‘He Gets Us’ Ad Campaign
👉 What is He Gets Us all about?
The two Super Bowl ads created by the campaign will focus on “the behavior Jesus modeled in relationship and conflict,” He Gets Us spokesman Jason Vanderground told CNA.
“Instead of responding to divisiveness in anger or avoiding conflict altogether, Jesus demonstrated how we can and should show confounding love and respect to one another,” said Vanderground.
More than just Super Bowl commercials, the He Gets Us campaign first surfaced in March 2022 and has been causing waves through TV spots, billboards, and digital ads.
Vanderground told CNA the campaign is “a movement to reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible and his confounding love and forgiveness. We believe his words and example offer hope and believe they still have relevance in our lives today.”

The campaign is not about politics, or even a specific church or denomination, say the organizers.
“We simply want everyone to understand the authentic Jesus as he’s depicted in the Bible — the Jesus of radical forgiveness, compassion, and love,” the He Gets Us website says.
According to an official He Gets Us partners website, the campaign has reached 431 million YouTube views, connected 113,923 people to churches, and has 19,501 churches involved.
Those numbers are before this Sunday’s Super Bowl ads aired which are expected to reach an audience of close to 100 million.
👉 Who created He Gets Us?
According to Vanderground, a group called HAVEN, a creative hub and marketing resource, is the lead agency behind He Gets Us.
“What began as a campaign to answer the question, ‘How did history’s greatest love story become known as a hate group?’ has quickly grown into a movement,” said Vanderground.
He Gets Us is also an initiative of the Servant Foundation, which is managed by the Kansas-based foundation and donor-advised fund The Signatry.
Founded in 2000 by Kansas philanthropic adviser Bill High, The Signatry has received over $4 billion in contributions and has helped make more than $3 billion in charitable grants, its website says.
According to its website, The Signatry funds “discipleship and outreach efforts, Bible translations, cultural care, church plants, anti-human-trafficking missions, student ministries, poverty alleviation, clean water initiatives, and so much more.”
👉 Who sponsors the He Gets Us Super Bowl commercial?

The campaign is quiet about its specific donors, saying most of its sponsors “choose to remain anonymous.”
Hobby Lobby co-founder David Greene announced in November that he is one of the campaign’s major donors. Greene was confirmed to be one of the campaign’s major donors by Vanderground.
“We are wanting to say—we being a lot of people—that he gets us,” said Greene. “He understands us. He loves who we hate. I think we have to let the public know and create a movement.”
🏃 Drama in France as Diribe Welteji of Ethiopia stops a lap too early and is told to keep running SHE STILL WINS with the fastest 3000m time in the world so far this short year, 8:33.44
There were many remarkable races at the Meeting de l’Eure indoor track meet in Val-de-Reuil, France, but one stood out amongst the others.

But with one lap to go in the race, Welteji pulled off to the side, thinking she had completed the race. With the other competitors closing in, a pacer and official grabbed hold of her and guided her back into lane one.
Welteji’s 30 meter lead shrunk as other runners looked to capitalize on her mistake, but she showed no signs of exhaustion. Welteji powered away to a personal best and world-leading time of 8:33.44. Her race shows that even when things go wrong, there’s always a chance for redemption.
💭 A very good lesson to the Hare.
🐢 THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE 🐇
A long time ago there was a hare who wouldn’t stop teasing a tortoise for his slowness. “I’m the fastest runner in the woods and you are the slowest one! We should compete!” he jeered.
One day the tortoise, tired of the hare showing off, agreed to have a running competition. “You may be fast, but I am persistent”, he said.
The next day the tortoise and the hare stood at the start, ready for the race. “One, two, three, go”, said the hare and they started running.
The hare was a long way in front of the tortoise when he saw a field of cabbages. He looked back and almost couldn’t see the tortoise. “Take your time!” he shouted to the tortoise, “I’ll have a snack here and still I’ll win the race!”
When he had finished his breakfast, the hare looked around to see how far the tortoise had got. He still hadn’t passed halfway! Feeling sleepy after his snack, the hare thought to himself, “I will have a quick snooze now and when I wake up I will quickly run past the finish line.”
He fell into a deep sleep and dreamed of winning the competition. Time passed and the sun was already setting when the hare woke up. He jumped and looked around to see the tortoise a few steps from the finish line.
The hare rushed towards the finish line as fast as he could, but the tortoise was already crossing it, winning the competition. “You don’t always have to be the fastest to win”, the tortoise told the hare, who was sobbing in disgrace.
