During the viral speech the Chiefs kicker said that he wanted to speak directly to the women that were in the graduating class. He is a known and vocal religious Christian and he wanted to make it clear that hie belives that women should focus on becoming good mothers and have less focus on their careers:
“I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,” he said in the speech. “How many of you are sitting here now, about to to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”
He continued on his tangent saying:
“I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and a mother. I am on this stage and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation … It cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because of a girl I met in class back in middle school, convert to the faith, become my wife and embrace one of the most-important tiles of all: homemaker.”

NFL Sideline Reporter and Fans Unleash On Harrison Butker

These comments did not sit well with fans and women around the NFL world at all. Lisa Guerrero, a former sideline reporter was vocal about her anger with these comments. She took to social media to call out the kicker and the league:
“Hey @NFL – If you want to continue to grow your female fan base and any other marginalized group (straight white men are already watching your product), come get your boy,” she said on social media.
She also pointed out that his own mother is an accomplished academic:
“Harrison’s mother is Elizabeth Keller Butker, an accomplished academic who holds a degree in Chemistry from Smith College as well as a Master’s degree in Medical Physics,” she said.
Fans were quick to social media to call out the Super Bowl winning kicker, and many were calling for him to get cut and banned from the league similarly to what happened to Colin Kaepernick:
“Winning three Super Bowls means never having to apologize for questionable roster decisions especially when it comes to saving a few bucks. The Chiefs ought to cut Harrison Butker ASAP,” one fan wrote.
“Cut Harrison Butker. Bro you’re a kicker just shut up and kick the ball. You play the 2nd most weakest position on a football team. Get out of here talking about masculinity,” one fan added.
“in a just world harrison butker would be cut by tomorrow and never play another nfl snap. i don’t care if that’s harsh, you shouldn’t be allowed to continue being a pro athlete if you’re given the honor of a graduation speech and use it to tell women to get back in the kitchen,” one fan added.
Butker has not made any further comments since this eruption has gone down. It is almost certain that he will not be cut, but he has definitely caused a major stir in the NFL world.
