There’s a growing tension in our culture.
Athletes are encouraged to speak out—until that expression includes their Christian faith. When it does, the response is often different: silence, pressure, even consequences.
That’s why Faith Driven Consumer has launched a national effort: Stand with Faith-Driven Athletes.
Recently, NBA player Jaden Ivey was dismissed after posting on Instagram about his faith in Jesus Christ and sharing his personal, biblical convictionsabout gender and marriage—including his opposition to mandatory Pride Month participation in the league. He spoke from his own account, expressing what he believes—yet his words were labeled “conduct detrimental to the team.”
At the same time, leagues openly promote other viewpoints without hesitation.
That kind of double standard sends a clear message: faith is welcome—but only if it stays private. We’re calling on major sports leagues to respect the freedom of athletes to live out their faith—openly and without fear.This isn’t about politics. It’s about fairness—and whether faith truly has a place in public life, including sports.
When enough voices come together, culture shifts. We’ve seen it before—and we can see it again.
By signing, you’re helping send a clear message: faith belongs in the marketplace, the workplace, and yes—even in sports.
Let’s stand united.
Sincerely,
Chris Stone
Founder, Faith Driven Consumer
