Harrison Butker’s name has been trending in the United States since last week. Not for sporting merits, given that the National Football League (NFL) season remains suspended until the end of August, and He’s not even a figure on his team, the Kansas City Chiefs.. He is in fact a brand new Super Bowl champion with the Texan team, but he is evidently overshadowed by the superstar Patrick Mahomes and the media-loving Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift’s partner. The media gap was sought through a controversial discourse.
For 20 minutes, the kicker of American football champions gave a lecture at Benedictine College in Atchinson, a Catholic school. At the end, received a standing ovation by graduates after they distanced themselves from President Joe Biden’s pro-abortion stance, as well as urging women to embrace a domestic life, giving up their careers.
He drew inspiration from his own example: “I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, will be the first to say that her life truly began when she began to live her calling as a wife and mother. Today I am on this stage and I can be the man I am because I have a wife who is dedicated to her calling.. All of my success was possible because a girl I met in high school music class converted to the faith, became my wife, and embraced one of the most important titles of all: housewife.” Also he was referring to the “deadly sins” of homosexuality and encouraged men to “not apologize for their masculinity.”
Immediately, the reactions and criticisms on the most popular social networks were not long in coming. None of his team came out to take a position.even though the League itself did so, assuring in a statement that the speech “does not conform to the values of the League”. His dismissal was even requested via a collection of signatures on the platform Change.orggetting the Supported over 125,000 people.
