The Chicago Bulls waived guard Jaden Ivey for conduct detrimental to the team Monday, hours after he posted a lengthy video rant on social media about religion and other topics that included anti-gay sentiments.
Ivey has gone live on his Instagram account more frequently in the past week, posting at least three lengthy videos after he was shut down for the rest of the season by the team because of injury last Thursday. On Monday morning, he called out the NBA for promoting Pride Month, saying it celebrates "unrighteousness."
"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."
In another live stream Monday evening, Ivey questioned why he was waived before speaking again at length about religion.
"[The Bulls] said my conduct is detrimental to the team," he said. "Why didn't they just say, 'We don't agree with his stance on LGBTQ'? Why didn't they say that? ... How is it conduct detrimental to the team? What did I do to the team? What did I do to the players?"

Simps will figure it out one day too late. You should be grateful for the NBA opportunity to play. Who cares about your thoughts and feelings? Play ball and shut up. LOLO
I was upset when that white woman said bb players should shut up and dribble, but she was right when it comes to this fool. He can believe anything he wants about LGBTQ, but he needs to keep it to himself. Everybody ain't on that page.
He’ll learn.
Can we condemn another sin sometimes?
Im pretty sure all of our moms taught us "if you aint got nothing nice to say...".This idiot obviously wasnt listening
*waive, not wave
Can someone explain why sports teams are so invested in celebrating who people sleep with? Just play ball.
Hey Jayden. It takes more energy to hate than to keep silent.
Hasn't her learned from the past ppl that have made these kind of comments? It cost them money and jobs.
