Jaden Ivey has an absolute First Amendment right to free speech, even speech which is despicable, as we all do. The Supreme Court has been very clear about that over the last 80 years. It's why American Nazis have been able to march through a Jewish enclave such as Skokie, Illinois; or why the Ku Klux Klan can march through a Southern town largely inhabited by people of color. What the Nazi Party and the KKK stand for is utterly despicable. They do have a First Amendment right to voice their views.
HOWEVER Jaden Ivey forgot that along with that absolute First Amendment right to free speech, including speech such as his which is utterly despicable, comes the right to accept the consequences of that speech.
If that means that he loses his job, and becomes unemployable -- that's the consequence of his bigoted "free speech".
If that means members of the Nazi Party or the KKK are publicly identified, as the Internet is so good at doing, and they lose their jobs and are forced to move -- that's the consequence of their "free speech".
Frankly, I don't feel the least bit sorry for him.
The complication is that the speech in question was directly inspired by his religious beliefs and so may be covered under anti-discrimination policies. I wouldn't be surprised if the current Supreme Court bought that argument.
What he actually forgot was that private organisations don't owe him freedom of speech. Only the government. They always forget this when they scream censorship.:)
A goddamm fucking jesusfuckers considers it persecution if they can’t denigrate, insult, harass, threaten violence, and even commit violence (without consequences) against all the people they hate.
Well, too bad fuckwit; actions have consequences. Yet, this is the same group that will get upset when their Christian mythology is MOCKED, JUST MOCKED. The NAZI ASSHOLES CAN DISH IT OUT, BUT CAN NOT TAKE IT. GO FUCK YOU IMAGINARY DEAD JEEZYWHORE’S SCRAWNY ASS!
MAYBE, I WAS NOT CLEAR SO IN THAT CASE: FUCK YOUR GODDAMM JESUSFUCKING ASSHOLE FEELING SMEGGING BONEHEAD!
I wonder what Bill Donohue and wossname– Hannity – are saying about this considering he said Catholicism is a false religion. I suspect the odds are they are ignoring that bit.
Christian bigot behaves badly. Faces negative consequences. Cries "persecution!" Rinse. Repeat.
As predictable as the sun rising in the East.
His supporters will paint it as behaving righteously and I suspect the Supreme Court will buy it.
Jaden Ivey thinks about men having sex more than I do and I'm gay.
I suspect there's a reason men having sex is on his brain. It's usually the loudest anti-gay bigots with biggest secrets.
OT: Judges block the orange pedo from continuing his ballroom project unless congress approves it and also from defunding NPR and PBS.
I hope that gives the ugly, brain dead, inbred orange skunk ape an aneurysm!
He will be up all night ranting. Hoping for the big, beautiful obituary.
👍
His ballroom that never was is getting a ketchup remodel tonight.
I prefer him not to get away from being put in jail on the grounds that he is doolally tap.
Woo hoo!!!

They never thank god when they lose.
They should condemn God when they lose surely?

this is completely insane
But not surprising, I bet Trumpyboy will try though!
Kunstler lives in my region. I've heard him speak at events. Didn't know he was a fucking RWNJ.
Metaxas on the other hand. I'm not even American and even I know he sneaked up behind some poor bugger hit him in the head and then ran away.

Like you say, sports is a never ending procession of athletes pushing their religious conviction that god somehow made them win. It's disgusting.

Maybe this black and poor persecuted Christian could compete against a gay person in the Oppression Olympics. First prize is Martyrdom.
Doubling down.

What an asshole.
heard rumors that Kristi Noems husband was allegedly outed by a illegal immigrant

I'm sorry I saw the picture...BLEH.
Thanks for the warning. I didn't look.
No wonder she's shagging someone else.
Good!!! I wish we could get rid of low IQ convicted felon politicians like they did Ivey.

Nuff said.
It's a brother to the verse in Proverbs which says "Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise".
