Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has aggravated one of the internet's biggest culture wars by telling a class of college graduates that one of the “most important” titles a woman can hold is homemaker. During a commencement speech last weekend at Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal arts school in Atchison, Kansas, the NFL player railed against abortion, Pride month and Covid-19 lockdown measures.
A spokesperson for the NFL told People Magazine that Butker 'gave a speech in his personal capacity' and 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,' a spokesperson told the publication.
