Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker bashes Pride Month, tells women to stay in the kitchen

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker criticized Pride Month and suggested women should stay in the kitchen during a commencement address.
Butker has had a successful career in the NFL, but his views on gender roles and Pride Month have sparked controversy.
He also criticized the "church of nice" and expressed his beliefs in speaking truth despite going against diversity and inclusion.

Oh, I fully support his belief in saying what he thinks.

It's always good to know where the morons are so you can avoid them.

I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.

a blatant attempt to get canceled.

Except "getting cancelled" isn't a thing, the right will embrace him and give him the platform which is what he is actually aiming for, and he'll be on all their podcasts, and sponsor their brands, and keep most of his fans and gain more, and create a whole comfortable living for himself from being a bigot, like so so so many others before him.

You're a wanker Harry, and a great one.

Get a real job.

I am less concerned with his opinion, and more concerned a place invited him to speak to graduates... some of whom I assume were women.

Yup it'd be best at that point to usher him away and apologize for the insane bull crap he just said. Can't believe they let him finish rambling stupid shit to everyone.

I suspect they knew what he was going to say more or less.

Is there a such thing as a "good conservative"? Why do they insist on being such cockroaches?

They are wholly devoted to "conserving" systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I'm not sure how that could be "good" no matter how they went about it.

This moron gets paid stupid money to kick a ball and say retarded shit.

Hooray for humanity!

And you really couldn't say that without being an ableist shit?

And here is the best part, he misses.....a lot.

Yup, we've known he's a hardcore Catholic douche for years here in KC. In his shoes, I'd not be so preachy though. People that preachy get their skeletons dug up.

dude plays contact professional football in a league comprised of 75% people of color, i'm not saying he's going to be targeted this upcoming season, but then again i'm not saying he won't be

I think you'll find the negative feelings towards pride month and women's rights are shared amongst many players regardless of their background.

I never considered professional brawlers (I.e. "American" football players) to be smart.

Some of them are very intelligent. I can't say many of them, but some are.

Michael Bennett comes to mind.

They can't be that smart when they keep playing a "sport" that leaves permanent brain damage in many, if not all professionals.

He did this during a commencement speech. That makes it even worse. There's a reason why most commencement speeches stick to genetic themes like believing in yourself or doing great things or remember to give the university money or things like that, and it's to avoid whatever this was.

Ohio State had a Bitcoin shill who did psychedelics to write the speech....no that's not a joke

You’d know it’s not a joke if you’d ever been to Columbus. It’s on par with a polyamorous witch doing a commencement speech.

As if I needed another reason to hate the Kansas City Chiefs

I did like what they did to the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs. Man, I hate NFL dynasties, and I hate Andy Reids parenting, but I hate the Baltimore Ravens above all other things Football, and that's a fact jack.
