New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson has expressed his support for Jaden Ivey amid the latter’s recent string of controversial posts.
Ivey was released by the Chicago Bulls on Monday shortly after he went on a rant disparaging the LGBTQ community. The former Bulls guard also criticized the NBA for hosting Pride Night, which Ivey called a celebration of “unrighteousness.”
The comments from Ivey came after he had gone on a couple of religion-themed live streams in the days prior. The posts had some fans concerned that Ivey was having a mental breakdown.

Henderson seemed to think Ivey sounded enlightened rather than someone needing professional help. The Patriots player backed Ivey on social media, reposting the news of Ivey’s exit from Chicago with a religious caption of his own.
“‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.’ Matthew 5:10,” Henderson captioned his post.

Henderson has long been vocal about his religious beliefs, with posts about Christianity spread across his social media accounts since his days as a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes roster.
Henderson also uploaded an Instagram post in December about supporting Christians who are being persecuted around the globe. Ivey appears to fall under that category, at least in Henderson’s eyes.
