NFL Star Comes to Defense of NBA Player Who Was Cut for Biblical Comments: 'The World Calls Us Crazy'

The NBA’s Chicago Bulls have hung a proverbial sign above their gates: “Christians not welcome.”

If the NBA itself endorses the Bulls’ egregious decision to waive 24-year-old shooting guard Jaden Ivey solely for the crime of voicing his Christian beliefs, then President Donald Trump’s Justice Department should file a massive civil rights lawsuit designed to bankrupt the entire league.

In the meantime, Ivey’s fellow Christian athletes must embrace and live out the words of New England Patriots star running back TreVeyon Henderson, who declared late Monday on the social media platform X that “[t]he world calls us crazy, but God calls us Sons and Daughters.”

Earlier Monday on X, Henderson reacted to news of Ivey’s dismissal by posting a Bible verse.

“‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ Matthew 5:10,” the running back wrote.

Henderson also retweeted a video of the comments that got Ivey waived, along with other remarks.

“That the world can proclaim LGBTQ, right?” Ivey said in a clip posted to social media. “They proclaim ‘pride month’ in the NBA. 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? How are they to say that ‘This man is crazy?'”

Ivey appeared to make those comments while driving or riding in a vehicle.

Then, the video shifted to what looked like a locker room. There, Ivey sat in a hooded sweatshirt and spoke about his faith, likely to a reporter.

“I’m not the ‘J’ I used to be,” Ivey said. “But the old ‘J’ is dead. I’m alive in Christ. No matter what the basketball setting is, I’m born again of the Holy Spirit. I’ve been saved by Jesus Christ. No matter how many DNPs [did not play] I don’t get to play or, no matter how many points I score. Those things are a temporary thing.”

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’........
