Chief's Harrison Butker delivers an unforgettable commencement address

Kansas City Chiefs placekicker Harrison Butker used his platform as a commencement speaker at Benedictine College last weekend to attack Pride Month and transgender people, the coronavirus pandemic, while also telling women to get back in the kitchen.
Benedictine College is a Catholic private liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, and Butker used his 20 minutes on stage to opine his thoughts, starting with Pride Month and, what he called "dangerous gender ideologies."
"Not the deadly sins sort of Pride that has an entire month dedicated to it," Butker said, "but the true God-centered pride that is cooperating with the holy ghost to glorify him."
quote:
"While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique," Butker said. "The bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder."
He loves his wife
quote:
"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’m on this stage, and able to be the man I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation," Butker said.
"I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker."
Those who didn't fit in that category, Butker had more words for them.
"I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you," he said. "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 most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world."

Can watch on YouTube.

Not that I disagree with him but a Kicker probably should STFU and just do his job

Ok Butker, you just made me finally forgive you when you rolled your ankle, missed an extra point when I lost by .04 of a point once in a fantasy game

Out of all the random grab bag of culture war talking points he threw out there, putting IVF in the same category as euthanasia is probably the funniest

Safe to say that the MSB won’t tell him to stick to sports.

The IVF and homemaker stuff is dumb. Most women aren't married to NFL players and don't have the household income from their husband's salary alone to support a family as a homemaker. The economy makes that nearly impossible for most people in this country. As far as IVF, putting that into the same boat with abortion and euthanasia is just ignorant and illogical. One helps create life, the others destroy it.
And what a dumb thig to turn a commencement address into a divisive political statement. I hated when my speaker (AL Gore) did that on the opposite end of the political spectrum

Bold for a man to say this in a public forum. Bold indeed.

These aren’t “conservative” values, these are “religious zealot” values.

Dude sounds like an extremely ignorant and extremely judgmental person. His ivory tower is as high as Olympus

Usually couldn’t care less about voting but I am begging any of the people who downvoted to please speak up about their thoughts on about IVF being the same as euthanasia. I’d love to hear this. Don’t be shy

Harrison Butker has become a pseudo hero to conservatives since he is openly conservative. That’s where your downvotes are coming from.
I think after this little speech though Butker will lose the majority of that support

He lost me, he’s a whacko. I am the rare non-religious conservative though.
Posted on 5/14/24 at 3:56 pm to TheWalrus
I am fairly confident the vast majority of Catholics think what he said is whacko

Can we not use commencement speeches to further whatever political agenda you have? I remember for my college graduation some random spent a full 30 minutes ranting on climate change, and I was pissed the entire time.
