Someone speaks out against the LGBT and it's hate. Not free speech, nah huh. They get cancelled. No problem.

Nobody sees anything wrong with this?

Society is rife with hypocrisy. And what you mentioned is one of the many, clear biases that exist. But I'm of the opinion that Ivey is in the wrong. No one is forcing him to accept anything but he's attempting to do that with others. I'm a laissez-faire kinda guy socially.

Also, free speech has to do with what the gov't can and cannot do, not private companies in this context. So I think your base understanding of what Free Speech is is not correct.

These are private enterprises in name...but they are so heavily subsidized by tax dollars and "exemptions" that they border on being state-run entities. It's pretty obvious that there is political capture so extreme amongst the billiönaíre class that they are effectively the state. What they want goes...and should be subject to free speech as prescribed by 1st amendment. I do realize though that I'm leaving in a fantasy world

Believe what you want but I don't think Chicago was thinking that way.

They were thinking at a marking level and about their customers and their own locker room and how much of a dumb fool Jaden makes them look like, cause he represents the Bulls and they didn't want to deal with all of that and more.

Simple as that. They didn't want to deal with a disruptive moron, they got better things to put their energy and time towards. Like skill and player and team development instead of asshattery.

No. Probably because I’ve never heard of the term semen-bank as a derogatory term for us men until you made it up.

I’m not convinced it’s not a compliment.

Should have kept him

His wife and family disowning him is insane. They didn’t see this coming?
