Harrison Butker's commencement address touched on everything from Pride month to women's roles in the home, abortion and in vitro fertilization.
FILE - Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker speaks to the media during NFL football Super Bowl 58 opening night Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, in Las Vegas. Butker railed against Pride month along with President Biden’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and his stance on abortion during a commencement address at Benedictine College last weekend.
“While COVID might have played a large role throughout your formative years, it is not unique,” he 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 also went off on an anti-LGBTQ2 rant, taking aim at Pride month while advocating for a more conservative brand of Catholicism. And while trying to emphasize one talking point, where he criticized Catholic priests who do not adequately lead their parishes, he dropped a Taylor Swift lyric when discussing how priests can become overly familiar with their “flocks.”Story continues below advertisement
He followed up with a personal dig, writing, “being the kicker for a football team isn’t exactly the ‘toughest’ position out there.”
