Jaden Ivey sounds like he's about to self-destruct. Never mind. Put a microphone in front of him. Like Ye or Nicki Minaj, conservatives will use Ivey until his star fades or until he says something unpalatable to their benefactors.
Thank you Parker. Although this article is ostensibly about Jaden Ivey, I appreciate that you used this situation to bring awareness to what the NBA actually values with multiple examples, how the podcast world frames and capitalizes on a young man in distress for their own ends while also helping us to empathize with the complicated individual at the center of this ordeal. 🙏
As someone who grew up in conservative evangelical Christianity, I feel the need to point out that a lot of folks in the Southern Baptist denomination genuinely believe that Catholicism is false Christianity and that the Pope is like a proto-antichrist (Southern Baptist is what I grew up in, I don't know about other CEC denoms), so railing against Catholics probably isn't viewed by these right-wing podgrifters as attacking "fellow Christians" as much as it is speaking "dangerous truths" in the same vein as spewing hate about LGBTQ people.

Sooner or later he'll complain about Trump and that'll be the end of it.
Thanks, Parker. Turns out there was a *lot* about this story of which I wasn't aware.
You're indispensable.

The most surprising part of this whole thing was that Tomi Lahren still has a talk show.
Ivey needs emotional health help. He is teetering on the edge of destruction, either for himself or maybe his wife.
