Both Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes come out in support of Butker:

quote:

Patrick Mahomes has defended the character of Harrison Butker after the Chiefs kicker came under fire for comments he made during a recent commencement speech.


quote:

“I’ve known him for seven years. I judge him by the character he shows every day and that’s a good person,” Mahomes told reporters at Chiefs OTAs on Wednesday.

“That’s someone who cares about the people around him, cares about his family, and wants to make a good impact in society. When you’re in a locker room, you’re around a lot of people from a lot of different areas of life, and they have a lot of different views on everything. We’re not always going to agree. He said certain things I don’t agree with.

“But I understand the person that he is. He’s trying to do whatever he can to lead people in the right direction, and that might not be the same values that I have. But at the same time I’m going to judge him by the character he shows every day, and that’s a good person.”





quote:

Andy Reid didn’t hold back when asked about Harrison Butker’s now-viral commencement speech at Benedictine College, when the Chiefs kicker encouraged female graduates to be “homemakers” and said the LGBTQ+ community was partaking in “deadly sins” by celebrating Pride.

During a press conference at the team’s facility Wednesday, the Chiefs coach threw some shade at reporters when asked what he would tell female employees if they came to him with concerns about Butker speaking ill of women in general.

“I don’t think he was speaking ill to women,” the 66-year-old Reid said. “He has his opinions and we all respect that.

“I let you guys in this room and you have a lot of opinions that I don’t like, so.”

Reid said no female employee had confronted him with concerns about Butker’s comments at the time.

“I didn’t talk to him about this. I didn’t think we needed to,” Reid said. “We’re a microcosm of life. Everyone is from different areas, different religions, different races. And so, we all get along, we all respect each other’s opinions and not necessarily do we go by those, but we respect everyone to have a voice. That’s. the great thing about America, man… and my wish is that everybody can kind of follow that.”
