More Trouble for Harrison: NFL set to sanction Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker over controversial speech

 

The backlash against Chiefs star Harrison Butker continues to grow with the NFL issuing a statement distancing the organization from his bizarre commencement speech in which he told women they should aspire to be homemakers.

 

That press release came as the petition to have him removed from the Super Bowl champion’s roster closes in on 100,000 signatures. It was set up just a day after his address at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas.

Butker, 28, who’s made his conservative Catholic beliefs well known, also assailed Pride month, a particularly important time for the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and President Joe Biden’s stance on abortion.

‘Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger,’ the league’s chief diversity and inclusion officer, Jonathan Beane, said.

‘His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger,’ Beane, who is also a senior vice president, said.
