Harrison Butker Sparks CELEBRITY REACTIONS Over Controversial Speech That Quoted Taylor Swift

As Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker continues to face backlash following his controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11, in which he quoted Taylor Swift’s song lyrics, celebrities, and even the NFL, are weighing in. Singer Maren Morris took to her Instagram Story on May 15 to post a clip of the speech writing underneath, “I choose the bear” - a reference to a popular TikTok debate where women decide if they’d rather be trapped in the woods with a man or a bear. Meanwhile, Rapper Flavor Flav posted May 14 on X, formerly Twitter, “Sounds like some players “need to stay in their lanes” and shouldn’t be giving commencement speeches.” During his speech, the Chiefs kicker had made multiple comments telling people to “stay in their lanes.” On May 15, the NFL issued a statement saying in part, “[Harrison Butker’s] 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.”

But all I’m saying is usually the camp that says “men need to sleep with everyone’ or the ones that say “women shouldn’t just be birthers” are the ones demeaning the stay at home moms that do way more than just being an at home wife. I also think the trad wife people are full of it too because usually they don’t have kids but bake style themselves and hand their guy a drink all while blogging it but that’s not what a traditional wife is. Yes they take care of the home but they also care for and teach the children and care for the husband too. The husband brings in the money so the wife doesn’t have to work and the wife in chance takes care of the kids and home so they don’t have to pay people to do so. Both are equally important.

[@TheAutumnWind_RN4L]

​@MPFXT I might not agree with everything he said, but I was raised in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Back then, society didn't raise us to be neutered, mindless automatons. People were allowed to have opinions and things they firmly believed in. That's how we had meaningful, intelligent conversations, compromise, and moderate views because we had to acknowledge that both the things I believe and the things others believe can be true, and good ideas can come from someone who has different beliefs than myself. I think it's a dangerous thing when the mob controls speech. It's the opposite of America, and dangerously close to totalitarian fascism, but instead of coming from the right, it's extremely anarchist left. It's unfortunate that such wonderful tools as social media and the internet has been twisted to give people who shouldn't have a platform a place to speak. It's like Salem circa 1692.

So you are saying that its good that more marriages end in divorce then last 10 years, and you think that a single person can raise children better then a couple. That having kids that graduate college while at the same time they are unable to identify all 50 states, name all 2 counties that border America, have no clue about World History or even American History, and can't put together a coherent original thought without using AI, is not a problem. These are the future leaders of our country and being educated is great we need that but apparently our educational system isn't teaching them and the parents need to step up and the only way that can happen is if 1 of them is willing to take on that task and be home. What should we call the person that stays home, taking care of the house and raising the children if we can't call them a homemaker?

I have no problem with my wife being independent as long as I don’t have to pay for dates, rent , groceries , gas , electricity, her nails , make up , clothes etc . Woman think men hate when they are independent. That’s not really true . If you’re independence means I don’t have to pay a dime financially then it’s amazing. But if that independence means she has her money but I still have to take care of her financially then it’s a problem. Because then the man is not the provider but a slave .

What's more outrageous than what he said to make the Woke Mob angrily try cancelling him is what he said claiming the name of Christianity. He said he hopes he and his wife reach salvation through Catholicism. One does not need to keep the Catholic sacraments to have eternal life with Christ. Ephesians 2:8/9 For by grace are you saved, through faith; and not of you; it is a gift of God: not of works so that no one should boast. John 1:9 To those that receive Him He gave power to become children of God, to them that believe on His name.

What you are proposing is a chaotic marriage and is horrible when people are not in agreement (Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians). This man even submits to his Head coach playing football, just as many people do to their boss at work. Someone has to take the lesser role otherwise it is chaos. This doesn't take from the other person or stop the other person from raising their points and being able to sway the decision of the decision maker. What you are pushing is chaos and only leads to disfunction. The preaching of this message has caused chaos. Men and women are made different to compliment each other to be a perfect team. What you are weak in your partner fills that gap making you together strong. One is not greater without the other on all metrics of life and family.

Anybody buys this? This would be a great opportunity to pause a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the African American community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any culture. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people. Real estate values are fueled by the mix of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nature of these communities. And we must not forget their abhorrence to crime and dedication for observing the law. Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation. They are truly our most under appreciated natural resource.
