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

/0 Comments/in , /by

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. 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? [Who] are they to say that, ‘Man, this man is crazy’?”

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.

WOKE SPORTS: NBA Star Fined $100,000 for “Derogatory” Homosexual Comment During Interview

/16 Comments/in , , /by

The NBA fined Hornets star LaMelo Ball $100,000 after he made an anti-gay comment during an interview following Charlotte’s 115-114 upset win over the struggling Bucks at home Saturday.

Ball had been talking about the last play of the game, where Grant Williams successfully defended Giannis Antetokounmpo at the top of the key and forced a contested jumper for the win — which missed off the front of the rim.

“We loaded up,” Ball said, before adding “no homo” while lowering his voice.

The NBA released a statement with their fine Sunday, saying Ball made “an offensive and derogatory comment” postgame.

Ball, who has dealt with injuries throughout his career after taking the Rookie of the Year award, is in the early stages of a career year, averaging 29.6 points, 6.3 assists and 5.3 rebounds through the first 12 games while helping Charlotte collect a 5-7 record.

NBA Player Launches Anti-Woke Sports Apparel Brand

/0 Comments/in , /by

NBA Player Jonathan Isaac has shown his willingness years ago to stand on the basketball court while others kneel. Now, as corporate America seems determined to bend the knee to the radical left, Isaac is choosing to stand up for his beliefs again. This time by launching an anti-woke apparel brand aimed at supporting conservative values.

The 6’10 power forward took to Twitter to say that the same freedom corporations use to “undermine Christian values” is the same freedom he will use to “create an alternative.”

“You have companies that are in that field who have made a conscious decision to either attack or undermine Christian values, conservative values, and things like that,” Isaac said. “And I think they have the free choice to do so, as much as I disagree, but I feel that we also have the freedom to create what we want to create. . .

“We can be proud of what we believe in. We don’t have to hide or be ashamed of it,” Isaac told Prager U’s Amala Ekpunobi for the documentary Unwoke Inc. (Read more from “NBA Player Launches Anti-woke Sports Apparel Brand” HERE)

Dwyane Wade’s Child Legally Changes ID to Female despite Birth Mother’s Opposition

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ex-NBA star Dwyane Wade’s son, born Zion Malachi Airamis Wade, has legally changed his first name to Zaya in an L.A. court on Friday and is now officially a “female,” even in the face of opposition over the move from his birth mother.

The teen, who has gone by Zaya since 2020 and wants to be seen as a girl, also won permission from the Los Angeles Superior Court to change gender markers on official documents, according to People.

Wade’s son first came out as transgender in 2020 and made his first appearance as a transgender girl in March of that year.

That “re-introduction” came a month after the couple went public to proudly support the boy, who decided to be known as a girl named Zaya going forward. (Read more from “Dwyane Wade’s Child Legally Changes ID to Female despite Birth Mother’s Opposition” HERE)

WATCH: Chaos Breaks Out as Anti-Vax ‘Stand With Kyrie Irving’ Protesters Smash Through Barriers and Try to Break Down Arena Doors

/0 Comments/in , /by

A chaotic scene has developed outside the Barclays Center, the home for the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, where anti-vaccine protesters knocked down security barricades and attempted to break down the doors to the arena.

The protesters are there to show support for the anti-vaccine position of Nets superstar Kyrie Irving, whose refusal to get the Covid-19 vaccine, in defiance of New York City’s vaccine mandate, resulted in the team benching him until he gets the jab.

The Nets are playing the Charlotte Hornets in their home opener Sunday, with tipoff scheduled for 4 pm ET.

Media on the scene tweeted several videos showing the protesters, some of whom were wearing “Stand With Kyrie Irving” shirts or carrying signs, pushing aside or knocking down metal security barricades and swarming towards the arena’s doors.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Beijing took no time to act after Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter posted a video on Twitter describing Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “brutal dictator” and calling for the independence of Tibet.

China’s video-streaming giant Tencent shut down the live broadcast of the game Wednesday between the Celtics and New York Knicks, the Washington Post reported.

In his video, Kanter, who grew up in Turkey, spoke for more than two minutes in support of Tibetan independence.

“Brutal dictator of China, Xi Jinping, I have a message for you and your henchmen,” he said, clad in a shirt with an image of the Dalai Lama. “Free Tibet, free Tibet, free Tibet.”

China seized the mountainous region in 1950 after four decades as a de facto independent state. (Read more from “China Wipes NBA Team From TV After Player Criticized Beijing” HERE)

NBA Team Bans Star Player From Participating in Any Capacity Until He’s Vaccinated (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , /by

Kyrie Irving won’t play for the Nets until he’s vaccinated.

Irving is one of the most notable vaccine holdouts in the NBA, and because of New York’s local mandates, he can’t participate in games until he gets his shots.

Well, he will no longer be allowed to compete at all until he meets NYC’s requirements.

General manager Sean Marks stated the following in part in a Tuesday release:

We have decided Kyrie Irving will not play or practice with the team until he is eligible to be a full participant. Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose. Currently, the choice restricts his ability to be a full-member of the team, and we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability.

WATCH: NBA Star Says Insults Don’t Make Him ‘Comfortable’ With Getting Vaccinated

/0 Comments/in , /by

Orlando Magic power forward Jonathan Isaac recently told the press that he does not need to take the coronavirus vaccine because he already suffered a bout of the virus and now has natural immunity.

He also says that being “demeaned” and insulted for his views on the vaccine do not make him more likely to change his mind about getting the jab. The 2017 first-round draft pick said data shows that those with natural immunity have an even greater bulwark against the virus.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The NBA has denied Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins’ request for a religious exemption from San Francisco’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, meaning that he will be ineligible to play home games unless he gets the shot.

“The NBA has reviewed and denied Andrew Wiggins’ request for a religious exemption from the San Francisco Department of Public Health’s order requiring COVID-19 vaccination for all participants age 12 and older at large indoor events,” the NBA said in a statement Friday. “Wiggins will not be able to play in Warrior home games until he fulfills the city’s vaccination requirements.”

The San Francisco Department of Public Health said Friday that everyone at least 12-years-old, including Warriors players, must be vaccinated if they wish to even enter the Chase Center and does not allow for medical or religious exemptions. A negative COVID test also will not be accepted in place of proof of vaccination.

“At large and mega indoor events, all patrons 12 and older must be vaccinated at this time,” the department said in a statement to SFGate. (Read more from “NBA Player Denied Religious Exemption for COVID Vaccine” HERE)

NBA Players Reportedly Want to Leave Houston Rockets Because Team Owner Supports Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Houston Rockets’ stars James Harden and Russell Westbrook are reportedly pursuing trades, and, according to TMZ, they want to leave the team because its owner, Tilman Fertitta, supports President Trump.

Yahoo Sports reported that NBA reporter Ric Bucher said “The Odd Couple” podcast with Chris Broussard and Rob Parker that Fertitta’s support of Trump has led to a player “revolt,” saying:

I’m hearing that Tilman Fertitta’s strong Republican support and donations is one of the things that is contributing to this dissatisfaction, and those two [Westbrook and Harden] are not the only ones to want out of Houston. Lesser players are of the same mind. There is a revolt here because they look at Fertitta as a guy who supports the current president.”
