I just listened to Harrison Butker’s commencement speech. It was amazing. He never once said that it is mutually exclusive to be an accomplished woman and a mother. These things can be complementary.

Wild to see the NFL heads get offended by this and call him out but not have the courage to say a single word about Kaepernick calling them modern day slave owners. That seems far more offensive to me.Quote:
Commenting on Butker's speech for the first time May 15, the NFL said that his views differ from those of the organization.
"Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity," Jonathan Beane, the NFL's senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, tells PEOPLE in a written statement. "His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger."
Also, Jonathan Beane's job position should be eliminated as it is useless nonsense.

Pretty brilliant move by Butker. Play a few more seasons in the NFL and end op on Fox and Friends.
I'm not sure how you measure that, but if you think this week long stink/few stories with no repercussions is anything like the outrage over Watson/Rice/etc. abusers that lasted months/years then we'll agree to disagree.Stonegateag85 said:
The point was that the woke mob isn't as loud about them as they are about Butker.

I can always tell who isn't from Dallas, you should read up on the Hunt family.Infection_Ag11 said:Quote:

The Chiefs owner is a devout Christian billionaire who has donated large sums of money to the Republican Party and low key threatened to fine players who kneeled for the anthem.
I think Butker is gonna be ok

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Harrison Butker's commencement speech: "We have over 3,000 players. ... They have a diversity of opinions & thoughts just like America does. I think that's something that we treasure & that's part of ultimately what makes us as a society better."

Butker did his speech on his own time. So in that way it is a lot different than Colin Kaepernick, who was kneeling while in uniform and on the clock.BMX Bandit said:NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Harrison Butker's commencement speech: "We have over 3,000 players. ...

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker stands by everything he said about husbands and wives, doubles down on his commencement speech when asked about it. I love this guy. So sick of our fake apology era. pic.twitter.com/GTMS50Udzh
