For Chicago Bulls, Christianity Is A Fireable Offense But Not Drugs Or Resisting Arrest

Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey was waived Monday after calling so-called Pride Month “unrighteousness.” In a video posted to social media Ivey said “The world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?”

“They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA. 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 in the streets. Unrighteousness. So, how is it that one can’t speak righteousness? Who are they say that this man is crazy?” Ivey said.

In response, the Chicago Bulls announced that the Bulls have “waived guard Jaden Ivey due to conduct detrimental to the team.”

Ivey pointed out that there is nothing “detrimental” in knowing that “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.”

“They said my conduct is ‘detrimental’ to the team. Why didn’t they just say, ‘we don’t agree with his stance on LGBTQ?’ Why didn’t they say that? How is it detrimental to the team? What did I do to the team? What did I do to the players? I did nothing but practice with them and play with them. Pass the ball to them. Be a good teammate to them,” Ivey said. “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?”

And while Christianity may be “detrimental” to the Bulls, things like drunk driving are totally permissible.
