Ben Shapiro

It is unclear whether he's in the midst of some sort of mental issue or not.

But if you're going to cite evidence of a mental issue, this is not the best evidence.

And him just saying traditional religious belief that you shouldn't celebrate pride in what is considered a sin, that is not a spiral.

Here was the Bulls head coach trying to explain.

I know some of the things that were put out there.

You know, I think it's a situation for him where, you know, it's on his own personal Instagram.

I don't want to get into what he put out there, but certainly I hope for him, you know, he's okay.

I don't know, you know, like I've had conversations with Jaden and stuff, and he's been always about rehabbing his knee and trying to get what he wanted to play.

But I think organizationally, there's certain standards I think we want to have as an organization and try to move up to those each and every day.

And so, again, not a ringing rebuke there from the coach.

Nonetheless, the Bulls let him go because, of course, you cannot say anything that violates the precept of full-scale wokeness on these sorts of issues.

So Jaden Ivey then went to Instagram Live to defend himself.

He was at the airport.

They said my conduct is detrimental to the team, right?

Because I know Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life?

I mean, again, he has a point.

The team could have just said, we disagree with his comments.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

By the way, in the UFC, this happens all the time.

Dana White routinely says this about people that he disagrees with in the UFC who say things that are actually quite morally bad.
