Olympic Athlete Takes Bold Stand on "DWTS" Over Risqué Song: "I Want to Glorify God"The All-American softball pitcher hopes that this courageous stand for her faith will inspire others, but mostly, her aim is to bring glory and honor to God in Heaven.
According to the Kansas City Star, Finch was struggling with the song all through rehearsals until she finally made a phone call to producers saying she was not prepared to dance to such a sexually charged track. "It's not what I'm about. I need to follow who I am and stand up for what I believe in," Finch explained on the hit show. The athlete later elaborated on her bold refusal, telling reporters that "just as a mom, it's not something we listen to in our house. And my fans, my audience, is young girls," as reported by Us Weekly. Finch also pointed out that "there's so many songs out there." "Why even go that route even close?" she asked. The All-American softball pitcher hopes that this courageous stand for her faith will inspire others, but mostly, her aim is to bring glory and honor to God in Heaven. "I want to glorify God out there, and that just wasn't a great choice for me to do that," she explained. Many have highlighted the fact that this is the first time a contestant has refused a dance song in the show history. Despite it being a bit of a hassle for her dance partner and choreographer, Keo Motsepe, Finch is convinced that she made the right choice. "We had it done on Wednesday pretty much. Completely, the whole thing," the former Olympian said of the dance routine. "So really, it fell on Keo's shoulders, and that's why I am so thankful for him stepping up to the challenge, because it wasn't easy. We changed it all." "I don't know of anything more empowering than a man sticking by a woman, and following her gut and her heart, not feeling comfortable, and I wouldn't be able to stand on that stage—I have a 5-year-old daughter—and be proud of what we're doing in the song choice that we had," Finch said...
