New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson stood by currently-unemployed NBA veteran Jaden Ivey after the latter spoke out against the league’s incessant pandering to the LGBT community on the one of countless days dedicated to transgenderism. Ivey was cut by the team for conduct that was detrimental, though it was obvious they didn’t want to deal with the fallout from the woke mob.
For context, Ivey was released from the team shortly after a video of him surfaced calling out the NBA for its celebration of Pride Month and other LGBT causes. However, many have speculated that the criticism was half the reason and that the other half was his overt citation of biblical ethics, as he called the associated behaviors and celebrations ‘unrighteousness.’
“The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA,” Ivey says. “They proclaim it. They show it to the world. They say come join us for 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? How are they to say that you, you man, this man is crazy.”
Watch Ivey voice his opinions below:
And while few players from any major sports league have stood up for one of their own, a disappointing fact all on its own – nor has President Trump or any lawyer currently said that this was a clear employment violation based on discrimination based on Ivey’s religious views (it’s hard to see how this scenario plays out the same with a Muslim player) – one brave voice did. And that was the aforementioned Henderson, who took to social media to quote a bible verse.
“‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ Matthew 5:10,” he quote-tweeted above a story sharing the fate of Ivey. That post, which has now garnered over 11 million views from independent journalist Collin Rugg, stated “he did nothing wrong.”
“BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are waiving Jaden Ivey after he spoke out against the NBA for promoting ‘Pride Month’ and unrighteousness, according to ESPN,” Rugg posted to X. “Ivey recently announced that he was alive in Christ.”
In a follow-up video, Ivey said he wasn’t backing down and blasted the team for its ludicrous explanation for his release. “They said my conduct is detrimental to the team, right? Why didn’t they just say we don’t agree with his stance on LGBTQ? Why didn’t they say that? But how is it, how is it conduct detrimental to the team? What did I do to the team? What did I do to the players?” Ivey said in response.
“I did nothing but practice with them, play with them. Pass the ball to them. Good teammate to them. Said, Good job, good shot. I said. I said, Good job, good job, good pass. Way to play. Bro, right? I said these things to my teammates was never detrimental to them,” he added.
“So why is it that the NBA and the Chicago Bulls say that I’m detrimental to the team? How? Because I believe in the truth, because I know Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. How is my conduct detrimental to the team because of what I believe, because of what the truth is?” he finished.
