BREAKING Kansas City kicker Harrison Butker Teary-eyed announced sudden retirement regarding NFL suspension decision over Viral commencement speech ” I don’t feel love “
An NFL star has courted controversy by telling female graduates that one of their most important roles in life will be “homemaker”.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker also criticised abortion and LGBT Pride marches in a speech at Benedictine College, Kansas.
His team has not reacted to the three-time Super Bowl champ’s comments. The NFL said it was a “personal” matter.
Nearly 160,000 people have signed a petition for the 28-year-old’s firing.
In his 20-minute address last Saturday, he said to women graduates at the Catholic private college that they had been told “the most diabolical lies”.
“Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,” he said.
“But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
Butker added that his wife’s life had “truly started” when “she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother”.
He added that Isabelle Butker had embraced “one of the most important titles of all: homemaker”. Speaking about his marriage, he appeared to become emotional.
His speech also attacked IVF, surrogacy, “degenerate cultural values”, “dangerous gender ideologies” and “the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion”.
“Our nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but… has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies,” he said in a reference to President Joe Biden.
