‘Vile Stuff’: Fans Say Chiefs’ Harrison Butker Deserves Same Fate as Colin Kaepernick Over ‘Misogynistic’ Commencement Speech, Call Out NFL’s Double Standard
NFL fans are calling for Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker to face a comparable punishment to Colin Kaepernick following his controversial statements made during his commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11.
Butker was tapped as the commencement speaker for the Catholic liberal arts college’s class of 2024 and is facing backlash in the days following his viral speech after sharing his personal views on a variety of topics, such as In vitro fertilization (IVF), women’s household roles, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
From Butker’s point of view, his wife Isabelle’s life “really started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.” Butker and Isabelle share two children. He also claimed that women have been fed “diabolic lies” and argued their primary roles should revolve around taking care of the home and children, not entering the workforce.
