The ex-Univ. of Alabama WR is now jobless.

-- an ex-Univ. of Alabama WR -- is now jobless ... he was cut by the Edmonton Eskimos over the weekend, and the team says it's all because of the guy's homophobic tweets.

Jones doubled down several times on the comments after he faced backlash ... but when word of his tweets reached his employers -- he was quickly fired. They added,"There is no place for such commentary on our team. Jones has been released from the roster." "As Pride Month continues, we stand with the LGBTQ+ community. We all need to say no to hate and yes to love."

DAMN! HOMIE jonessboyy JUST KEEP YOUR BELIEFS TO YOURSELF. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO HEAR A CUACASIAN PERSON SAY ANYTHING RACIST TO YOU. I HOPE THE CFL FORGIVES YOU AFTER YOUR SUSPENSION, 1 LUV.

Dumb

Gotta go!

It's an opinion shared by a lot of people. He didn't say anything hurtful or use a slur of any kind. Ask any deeply religious person what they think and they'll say the same thing. Had he begun by saying, 'My religion teaches me that'...... would he have been treated the same?

But the name Eskimos is cool?

The CFL itself also blasted Jones ... saying in a statement of its own, 'There is no place in our league for commentary that disparages people on the basis of their religion, race, gender or sexual orientation.' He was fired from a team called the “Eskimos”. Let that sink in.

Good.

He has a valid Christina belief. What are they doing. Going after religion now? Please they have more money then god. Try that fight.

The CFL is no more any way.

People calm down he cannot be prejudice hes not caucasian!!! Dont go rioting and looting.

Now he'll have more time to protest police brutality and whiteness.

I have a gay child. I have friends and other family members that belong to the LGBT group. Im not sure he should lose his job over these. I mean I work with people that feel the same and they cant be fired. it's his beliefs. He's not refusing service Or threatening anyone

Should of kept his mouth shut

He's not white so it's fine.

They are now allowing the kneeling at games, just because of Kaepernick's opinion,... well this is Christion Jones's opinion. Everyone has a right to their own opinion! Canada, the US, these are supposed to be free nations! Free speech! If you don't like it, move on!

Wasn’t he Xfl ?

Good. Keep ya mouth shut! 😡

Depends if he's serious or not. If he's joking,I'd like to hear the joke,&if its funny,laugh. And if he means,F&CK THOSE F&GS!,that just means he probably loves D&is terrified of slowlyrealizing,he,likes... D,not just oneD,all theD's,&he's trying to repress thesucking,never works

He had to go.. those are the rules 🤷‍♀️

Whatever happened to freedom of speech in our wonderful nation?

If he kneels for the anthem, they'll take him back.
