Chicago Bulls release Jaden Ivey after he posted a video criticizing the NBA's LGBTQ Pride Month celebrations

If SGA said that and won’t puss out when followed up, maybe NBA has a chance to rise again.
 
That headline is mostly true, but it’s a bit oversimplified.


Here’s what actually happened:


  • The Chicago Bulls did waive (release) Jaden Ivey.
  • The official reason given was “conduct detrimental to the team.”
  • This came right after he posted videos criticizing the NBA’s Pride Month support and making other controversial religious remarks.

What’s missing from that “BREAKING” post​


  • It wasn’t just one simple video — reports say there were multiple livestreams and statements, including broader comments about religion and LGBTQ topics.
  • The team framed it as a standards/behavior issue, not explicitly “we fired him for this one opinion.”
  • The Bulls emphasize professionalism, respect, and inclusion as organizational values.

Bottom line​


  • ✅ He was released
  • ✅ His Pride Month comments were a major trigger
  • ❗ But the situation is broader (pattern of behavior + team standards) than that viral one-liner suggests

Kaepernick was more than a one-time issue also and the left and the NFL went ape shit in defending him. Apparently professionals, respect and inclusion weren't important to the NFL. All Lives Matter was not a popular saying to the left. That doesn't seem to be very inclusive.
 
Reminder that this is also the league that rigged Luka to go to LA and compensated Dallas with Flagg. Nearly impossible chance of Dallas landing the #1.

Also the league that doesn't give a shit that one of their stars' entire game is just pushing off and getting free throws without any fouls or flopping calls.

Some other stuff I won't get into that I've seen in person at the Moda.
 
The NBC affiliate here had Vince Carter (I think) and three or four other black people I had no recognition of doing some NBA hype show after the 10 o' clock "News." It's still better than whatever late night woke failure they used to have on then I guess.

Nothing has changed from the first year they went to the lottery, when Ewing was coming out of Georgetown and viewed as a generational talent. NBA rigged the whole thing for him to go to New York.

I'm still shocked the NHL allowed Celebrini to go to the Sharks....

To be fair, and I don't agree with cutting the guy to be clear, he disparaged Catholics too, and I think there were some other things. He got super preachy with the press about religion....

I genuinely feel bad for the guy. He didn't grow up with a lot of love from what it sounds like. I hope he can find his way.
