Steve McConkey of the 4 Winds sports ministry, a group that resists moves toward LGBT rights in sports, issued a press release this weekend criticizing Bruce Jenner for “promoting sin” and sending a “very bad message to the kids of America.”

McConkey said that the Olympian-turned-reality-TV-star’s reported transition to a woman “is another indication of where sports is headed” after the International Olympic Committee allowed some transgender people to compete in the games, which he lamented “has directly or indirectly emboldened former and current athletes to proudly defy biblical standards.”

“Kids will have another sports hero who is confused and the saga will be broadcast throughout the world,” McConkey said. “Pray for Bruce Jenner and against television networks for promoting sin.”
