Chiefs' Super Bowl Champion Harrison Butker Sparks Controversy with Benedictine College Speech
May 15, 2024, 06:30 PM
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, a three-time Super Bowl champion, has sparked controversy following a commencement speech at Benedictine College. During his 20-minute address, the devout Catholic criticized President Joe Biden's stance on abortion and his leadership, expressed opposition to Pride Month, and emphasized traditional gender roles, urging female graduates to embrace the role of homemaker. The speech has drawn significant backlash, with critics labeling it as misogynistic and homophobic. The NFL has distanced itself from Butker's remarks, reiterating its commitment to inclusion. A petition calling for Butker's release from the Chiefs has garnered nearly 30,000 signatures.
