On Monday, the Chicago Bulls waived guard Jaden Ivey for conduct detrimental to the team after he posted a series of videos on Instagram that included anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and criticism of the NBA’s promotion of Pride Month. Athletes from other sports such as the NFL have begun to chime in on the situation.
“The world proclaims LGBTQ, right? They proclaim Pride Month and the NBA does too. They say, ‘Come join us for Pride Month to celebrate unrighteousness,'” Jaden Ivey said in one stream.
