I don't think this is a problem with teamates-it's the fans.

Some gay fans and allies don't want to tolerate a person with these religious beliefs and gave a strong vocal backlash to her call-up which I believe USWNT officials responded to minimize the PR problem. Even before this recent issue, I was at the Thorn/Courage match in Providence Park where NC beat Portland 4-1. Many Portland fans booed Hinkle every time she touched the ball. USWNT should have seen it coming before inviting her this round.
