Former NFL coach Tony Dungy defended Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College, arguing that his comments were taken out of context. Dungy believes Butker was advocating for the rewarding nature of parenting and didn't intend to offend anyone.
Harrison Butker heard from the critics earlier this year after defending Christian values at a commencement speech at Benedictine College in Kansas.Butker championed the role of “homemaker” for women, adding that it would be the most rewarding thing they do with their lives. He also bashed President Biden for his abortion stance, pro-LGBT views, as well as IVF and surrogacy.
“I thought it was taken totally out of context … if you listen to what he was saying, there wasn’t anything to be offended by,” Dungy said. “He said a lot of these ladies are going to have great careers, but some of them, and many of them, might find that their most meaningful thing in life is parenting, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.
Dungy, who has often been criticized for defending the Christian faith, identified with the difficulty Butker faced in expressing his views.
