Kansas City Chiefs kick stands by his communication prioritizing marriage, home, and traditional beliefs
Harrison Butker, the kick for the Kansas City Chiefs, has not swayed in his support of traditional values in his recent remarks about his Benedictine College initiation speech.
In the speech, Butker advised graduates to promote family and marriage, which caused a lot of opposition but even support. He even recently became the NFL’s highest paid kick.
He criticized the “diabolical lays” being spread to people to convince them of their worth and success.
” I stand behind what I said”, Butker said, according to Fox 5.
The three-time Super Bowl champion said,” I really believe if people knew me as a person and understood that I was coming from a place of love and did n’t try to attack or deceive people,” that they would only want the best for people. ” That’s what I was trying to say it. I believe everyone in that school understood what I was saying.
Butker, a devoted Catholic, also emphasized that his message was motivated by love and respect for women, especially his family, saying:” I think then it gets construed that I’m trying to put people down which I’m not at all. I love people. My wife and I both have a deep passion for one another.
He said more:
My wife was there for that moment, and she was off in one of the nearby offices, and I was getting personal as I watched her weep and realized how much she had given so much to me. She has totally transformed her living, and I adore her because she has made sure she has focused on being the best wife and mother in the world.
As recently reported by The College Fix, Butker urged students to adopt marriage and parenthood in his commencement speech, especially when he addressed his notes to female graduates.
Some of you may have had successful profession elsewhere, but I would venture to say that the majority of you are most excited about having kids with you, according to Butker, in front of the graduating class. Isabelle, my stunning woman, would be the first to claim that her life really began when she began to live her vocation as a wife and mother.
Addressing the female kids, Butker urged them to “be defiant in your masculinity”.

Additionally, Butker continued to condemn President Biden and those who supported sex ideology. He even lamented the “tyranny of diversity, equity, and incorporation”.
While Butker’s talk received huge reaction, some have also spoken out in support of his comments. Cecilia Jones, a pupil at Benedictine College, applauded Butker’s attitudes in a new op-ed for the Daily Wire.
” His speech did n’t pit men and women in a power struggle against one another, the way feminists so often do”, Jones said. Instead of separating us into one improper mass of humanity, Butker encouraged my classmates and I to love one another. That might be viewed as intense or radical, but I’m not sure. But it is also exciting”.
