‘Inclusive’ NBA Waives Chicago Bulls Guard Jaden Ivey Over Christian Views #Political
“Basketball is for everyone,” the NBA proudly proclaims on its Diversity & Inclusion website. Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey just learned that slogan comes with a rainbow-colored asterisk after he was waived for expressing his personal religious views on homosexuality and abortion.
In a series of live videos on his Instagram account, the 24-year-old dared to express his Christian belief that the league’s Pride Month is “unrighteousness” and condemned abortion as the “wicked decision to murder a baby,” adding bluntly, “They call abortion good but it’s not good in the sight of God.”
Hours later, the Bulls waived him for “conduct detrimental to the team.” Apparently, some beliefs are more equal than others. Ivey didn’t hold back when expressing his views in the live videos, stating, “The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA does, too... ‘Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness.’”

“The world proclaims LGBTQ, right? 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.’”

Shocking, right? A Christian calling sin... sin. Yet Ivey made clear he wasn’t driven by hate. In a follow-up, he clarified: “I’m not against the man or the woman. I’m against what is contrary to the word of God. Man is not supposed to lie with a man, and a woman is not supposed to lie with a woman.”
Jaden Ivey boldly proclaims the Word of God, even after the NBA waived him for affirming biblical beliefs on sexuality
“I can proclaim the truth, what the word of God says. I can do that with freedom. I have a mouth to speak. No one can stop me”

Here’s the irony the league’s virtue-signalers ignore: The NBA bends over backward to defend LGBTQ players’ rights to their beliefs and how they want to live. Rainbow jerseys and pride logos on the court are all to be “celebrated.” But when a devout Christian quietly stands on 2,000 years of biblical teaching? Crickets, followed by a pink slip. Apparently, tolerance is a one-way street. You can celebrate whatever lifestyle you want, but don't you dare suggest the Bible might have a different take.
The NBA preaches "diversity" while enforcing ideological conformity. Its own 2024 Pride article declares inclusivity is “part of our DNA,” with Chief Diversity Officer Lesley Slaton Brown insisting everyone should “bring their authentic selves to work” and feel they have a “safe space.”
Unless, of course, your authentic self is Christian. Then you’d better hide it. There’s no “safe space” for Biblical convictions. Conservatives have known for years this has never been about inclusion. It’s about submission.
Prominent athlete and conservative activist Riley Gaines defended Ivey on X while pointing out, “We live in a world that hates Christ and those who believe in Him…”:
We live in a world that hates Christ and those who believe in Him, but that's to be expected. Just as He was persecuted, so will we be.
Consider me a Jaden Ivey fan.

Ivey’s words weren’t detrimental to the team. He simply refused to pretend his convictions don’t exist. And for that, the NBA showed its true colors and proved the only people being oppressed or hated are Christians.
