Christian Athletes Rally Around Jaden Ivey After Bulls Cut Him Following Criticism of Pride Night

Tall Timbers

Imperfect but forgiven

Jaden Ivey is no longer a Chicago Bull after he criticized the NBA for celebrating Pride Night. However, he has been welcomed with open arms by a much larger team of Christian athletes who support his beliefs.

Ivey, 24, posted a series of videos criticizing his former team, the Detroit Pistons, for hosting a Pride Night, calling it “unrighteousness.” Ivey further declared that the Detroit Pistons are “not gonna matter on Judgment Day.”

“They proclaim Pride Month in the NBA,” Ivey said in another video. “They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month,’ to celebrate unrighteousness. They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards. They proclaim it in the streets — unrighteousness. So how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? [Who] are they to say that, ‘Man, this man is crazy’?”

 

Dallas Mavericks Star Daniel Gafford Explains Faith Message on His Shirt, Hints at Christian Persecution in Reference to Jaden Ivey​

It doesn’t appear as though NBA players feel safe speaking openly about their Christian beliefs, at least as it pertains to homosexuality.

Hours after Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey, a devout Christian, was waived by his team for criticizing NBA teams for celebrating Pride Nights, Mavericks forward Daniel Gafford was asked about the faith message on his shirt during a press conference.

The message read, “Faith isn’t for the weak.”

At first, Gafford seemed taken aback and open to discussing his faith. But then he cited Ivey’s ouster in Chicago as a reason he didn’t want to “go deep into that.”

 

Jaden Ivey Denies Rumors of Mental Illness After Criticizing Pride Night: ‘I Have Peace’​

Contrary to reports that Jaden Ivey has taken leave of his senses, he says he has “joy” and “peace” after being waived by the Chicago Bulls for posting a series of videos criticizing NBA teams for celebrating Pride Nights.

After Ivey posted an IG video reiterating his criticisms of the NBA and calling out other players for being fake Christians while on a plane, rumors began flying online that the star guard was having something of a nervous breakdown or mental episode.

On Tuesday morning, Ivey went to IG again and stood firm, denying completely that he was not mentally well and reaffirming his Christian beliefs.

“Y’all think I’m losing my mind… I have peace. I have joy. I have the fruits of The Spirit. I don’t have to search for those things no more. Jesus Christ saved me & He can do the same for those that repent & believe The Gospel.”


They'll probably bring back mental institutions so they have a place to put Christians to get them out of society...
