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

While Ivey has been kicked off his team and criticized by the media and fans online, a growing number of Christian athletes have come to Ivey’s aid, sharing their support and verses of Scripture to strengthen him during this trying time.
Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson was among the first to voice his support for Ivey.

No doubt it’s a double standard. Some people can say whatever they want but others get fired for saying much less. Steve Kerr,Doc,Popovich have all run their mouths but they get absolutely nothing done to them. I’ve had coworkers that have tried to get me fired for my views. Sad… https://t.co/J7gCZKjE9S

That’s comical. He’s not going anywhere:
1. TreVeyon was a rookie of the year talent last year and has more upside than any other young RB in the league.

If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
