It’s commencement speech season and Super Bowl champion Harrison Butker’s was a doozy. If there’s one thing about pro athletes, it’s that many of them really enjoy religion. Like, really enjoy it.
Over the weekend, Kansas City Chiefs kicker came off the bench (after sitting most of the event) to let the Benedictine College Class of 2024 know that he really enjoys religion, among other fun things such as: what provides a woman with true life fulfillment, the importance of traditional masculinity, and that’s it, because he’s only used to making three points at a time. Oh, and he threw in a reference to his “teammate’s girlfriend” for good measure.
Butker, who if you’re like me, you’ve always called “Hairy Buttkicker,” in particular had some tips for the ladies:

Butker mentions how his wife Isabelle “convert[ed] to the faith, become my wife and embrace[d] one of the most important titles of all: Homemaker.”
Yeah. As you might imagine, the officials on the internet have declared Butker’s points “no good.”
This dipshit and pal of Josh Hawley grew up in a wealthy family and his mother is an accomplished physicist. Which enabled him to make a living kicking a ball. But he’s telling these women they won’t be fulfilled until they are married and pregnant. https://t.co/PV1KUxoSfI

Sounds like some players “need to stay in their lanes” and shouldn’t be giving commencement speeches.

That just seems like a really long way of saying get back in the kitchen, and make me a sammich.

BREAKING: Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker challenging Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers for position of NFL player most in need of shutting the fuck up.

Some responses went there.
Harrison Butker said “be masculine, do things that are hard” and is a fucking kicker. Let me see you do some underwater welding or something

Others added some factors you just can’t ignore here:
Surely the sort of archaic ideas Butler was spewing about a woman’s place in the home were learned, right? Undoubtedly his own mother lived a happy, fulfilling life as a wife and mother ONLY. RIGHT?
Yeah, no.
Yet, his mother is an accomplished physicist who works in the Department of Radiation Oncology at Emory University Medical School in a high paying job that enabled him to have an affluent upbringing, but he wants a basic fundi wife?? Surprise! He's a hypocrite! pic.twitter.com/PSoh5dBBIJ

Turns out, Butker’s cushy background of affluence was co-constructed by, of all people, accomplished oncologist Elizabeth Butker—his lady parent! Huh. I’m sure Butker will realize the irony of this during his long stretches of “think” time next season sitting on his good pal, the bench.
Let me understand this, Colin Kaepernick was threatened, blacklisted, condemned for peacefully taking a knee in protest against racial injustice/police brutality, but Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker gives a misogynistic, bigoted, homophobic speech and it’s fine? Racism.

No word from the “shut up and play sports” crowd on this one, oddly. (JK, it's not odd at all.)
