Chicago Bulls waive Jaden Ivey for his religious beliefs.

You "corrected the title" to something completely misleading. 🙄 He was waived because he expressed his religious beliefs in a judgmental and hateful way that brought disrepute to the organization. There are plenty of religious people in the NBA who know (and are mentally stable enough) to keep it to themselves.

Zero journalistic integrity on this garbage website.

Thats fine. They should ban all christians or people that belive in god, the easter bunny and santa claus.

I mean, I’d waive a schizophrenic, too.

Did he really speak ill of Catholics!!?!! Oh my

Why is it that homophiles’ go-to insult for homophobes is that they are a homosexual? Like, why use it as an insult if there’s nothing wrong with being gay?

Who said he was using it as an insult?

Not really about rights as it is using your head and knowing what you simply cannot say.

Paul Hornung once said something like.......Notre Damn needs to relax the academic requirements, they can't recruit speed.............BOOM~~~ he was in some deep do do.

We all know what happened to Jimmy The Greek talking about how the slave owners......

You just can't be saying those things, common sense.

This kid is young he'll learn.

Also wild that the head coach of the Bulls is Billy Donovan, a devout Catholic who had a major role in founding a Catholic high school!

The anti-gay comments are getting most of the attention, but I think the anti-Catholic stuff are what really did him in. Athletes say anti-gay things pretty regularly, and usually they just get a slap on the wrist.

If an employee talks disparagingly about their boss's religion the way Ivey did, that employee is probably getting fired.

Jaden Ivey wants his boss to know Jesus as his savior so that he may have eternal life. Catholicism is faith plus works, that is in direct opposition of the Biblical Gospel. Stand firm Jaden and keep preaching Christ in a world that desperately needs the truth. Time is getting short.

He's an employee. He practiced his dumb free speech and they exercised theirs. They fired his butt before there was even pressure to do so. Its not cancel culture if you ask for it.

Not entirely true. Ivey was a break out player averaging almost 20 right from his rookie year with the Pistons. He was our biggest jersey seller. Like any other sport, he got injured and has been slow to return. The last thing he needed was to help people have less patience with him. Bad timing, very bad timing. Should have been working on returning to form. Not pulling a Kapernick.

It’s not politics, it’s his religion. Besides, he was only responding to the NBA’s overt pro-LGBT agenda.

”The world proclaims LGBTQ, right?" Ivey said during the video stream. "They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA does, too. They show it to the world. They say, 'Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.' They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it on the streets. Unrighteousness."

Far as I know, he didn’t tell anyone to vote for Trump. The Bulls just don’t like his views on sexuality.

OMG the Pistons finally won a trade.. Pinch me... I heard some saying this makes up for the past 20 years of dumb decisions, I won't go that far but I will at least forgive them for Killian Hayes lol

Exactly, dude doesn't seem like he's in the right head space atm. Not worth the headache for any organization. Cons outweigh the pros right now

Pathetic slave mentality. It's okay of his "owners" ruin his career over dislike of his opinion cuz they are not the govt.

You have to really cherry-pick your bible study to reach such a conclusion. The New Testament is nothing if not a call for "good works".

Nope not "responding." Nobody asked him. And lets be honest, regardless of how you feel about identity politics and such, he went a little farther than just asking about it. He went full religious cult guy and shared way too much.

A player from a different team has come out to support Ivey. Kon Kneuppel, who's having a record chasing rookie season despite being picked later in the draft, said freedom of speech, simple as that. These nba players want an opinion on anything, but the league knows it's best to curtail the controversy for revenue purposes (their priority).

Could win twice! Start rooting for minnesota to finish the season on losing streak. Its close.
