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.
The man is 100% correct, God bless him. Why must his Godly Values be corrupted by others? He does not wish to celebrate unrighteousness. If he was given a choice not to be forced to celebrate 'gay pride' as a member of the NBA he would not have protested in the manner he did. Free speech dictates that he has a right to defend and his Faith.
Christians do not celebrate homosexuality. From Genesis to Revelations THE HOLY BIBLE speaks of TWO DISTINCT SEXES: boy, girl, son, daughter, man, woman, he, she, him, her, king, queen, prince, princess, etc. THE ALMIGHTY GOD CREATED HIS EARTH WITH TWO DISTINCT SEXES/GENDERS with separate roles. HETEROSEXUALITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE. This is why Genesis 2v24 says: 'A man shall leave his mother and father and shall cleave to his wife and the two shall be one flesh'. This vital scripture is mentioned numerous times in the Holy Bible, for example in Ephesians 5v31 Paul quotes the very same scripture to describe the relationship between Jesus Christ and The Church. These scriptures are commonly quoted as part of The Rites of Holy Matrimony in The Church to bless the Man and Woman: Husband and Wife who thereafter enter into the Holy Estate Of Marriage from which a Family is built based on God's commandments, rules, codes, ordinances and precepts,
The Church, other Faiths and Religious Pressure Groups must run the entire ludicrous debacle of forcing others to celebrate gay pride through the American Judicial System once and for all.
Rants? I think not. We can't all shut up, keep silent, be quiet, act timid, pretend and run scared from the truth. He has strong values and his statements are all supported by free speech. He speaks the truth - nobody should be forced to accept unrighteousness or engage in anything that compromises their God-given beliefs, life's mission and values. God is not a man that he should lie. God will vindicate him, we can all trust that it's only a matter of time.
