Kansas City Chiefs kicker faces backlash after commencement speech

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is facing backlash after his commencement speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. Butker said men ‘set the tone of the culture’ and students should fight the ‘cultural emasculation of men.’ The NFL put out a statement saying the organization doesn’t share Butker's viewpoints.

Catholic guy gives a commencement speech to a bunch of students graduating from a Catholic school, espousing Catholic values. What's the controversy?

[@ehs1452]

Injecting politics into a fucking commencement speech is weird and random. If it was a democrat, you'd all be bawling your eyes out talking about how the woke agenda is taking over universities.

Those are not Catholic values or there would only be all male Catholic colleges. Do you think these girls who graduated with degrees in business, computer science, or accounting paid all that money to be house wives?

[@clydecoffee405]

It's a little long, so I apologize. I personally think the debacle involves how basically numerous women, catholic or not, came to this juncture in their lives, where they achieved something pretty cool. But then, you have people such as Butker who made them sit through his half an hour Gettysburg Address to tell them: "Oh, um, ma'am its great that four+ years worth of days and days writing essays until you got carpel tunnel, nights upon nights cramming into oblivion for one exam after another, and the tens and hundreds of thousand you spent for a piece of paper that says 'Yay! You did it!' But none of that matters, because society lied to you about wanting to be a doctor, lawyer, writer, cashier a Chipotle, because that's a distraction from God's plan for you, which involves you simply cleaning up after and making sandwiches for some guy who got you pregnant and the resulting children. You should be proud. Congrats! Thanks for attending my TED talk."

I recommend that everyone watch "The Handmaid's Tale". Many people claim that the series is anti-Christian, but in actuality, the series mocks the people who use religion to control people ( particularly females ). Even though the people in control in "The Handmaid's Tale" profess to be Christian, they seldom mention Jesus, but over 90% of the time, they espouse the "Old Testament".

I was Catholic educated, from grade 2 through graduate school. The women who had the greatest impact on my life and career were Catholic nuns, who chose not to marry or bear children. No doubt, there were a number of nuns - and priests - present and participated in the commencement ceremony. Butker's comments greatly offended me, and were a slap in the face to those of his own religion who chose lives of service and celibacy. By the way, women who have worked and studied for years, some at great sacrifice and expense, aren't interested in Butker's fantasies. We live in the real world. You kick footballs, Butker, and owe apologies to everyone.
