Five-time NBA All-Star John Wall has become the president of basketball operations at Howard University, returning to Washington, D.C. to partner with the top-ranked HBCU in the country, school officials tell ESPN.
I thought it was about 5 year olds who say “if the lord sees fit” or mimics grandma getting out of her chair with pretend joint pain, not child neglect
While the topic is mundane, this is also so incredibly far outside the scope of Presidential authority that it’s insane.
In what world does he think the President gets to set rules for college sports?
This isn’t meant to come off as a knock to CE.
I’m a Christian - and a basketball player. 90% of the NBA is openly Christian. What I find maddening in all this is Christians online twisting the story into “Ivey got waived because he is a Christian.” That’s just a false statement and you’re pushing drama even further.
There are guys that proclaim their faith all over the NBA - it’s a shared faith. There are pre-game Chapel services in EVERY arena where guys come together to worship. There are post-game prayer communities that are visible to fans and cameras.
This isn’t an intolerance issue by the NBA. Far from it. The league wants guys to proclaim what they believe.
With that; You will be fired in ANY job where you become a workplace nightmare. If you continually disrupt the peace and happiness of your colleagues, you will be held accountable. It’s as simple as that.
I wish folks would stop saying he got waived because of homophobic comments. Dude was out there hounding teammates about their religious beliefs and questioning reporters about committing sins and fornicating. No one wants that around any workplace.
