What's wrong with you that you think it's an either/or? BTW, Rice screwed up his own life and possibly a couple of others. What Butker did was to demean young women at a once-in-a-lifetime event and tell them the degree they'd worked hard for was useless because they'd never be fulfilled until they realized their place was in the home, having babies, and making it possible for their useless husband to attain success without making any effort in the marriage.

Freedom of expression does not go away when you are on TV. Also, anyone who is just "watching" players to play a game... well there are LOTS of things happening that is not just players playing a game. Celebrations, interviews, ads, breaking news... etc, etc. Watching a dude kneel (without talking) freaked people out not because it was another act of free expression, but because they were judgmental of the cause.

He got an applause worthy of a satisfactory commencement speech. As a former contributor and expert at one of the Chiefs content sights for a few years, I can say that you usually hit the nail on the head every episode. Bravo.

This is perfectly in line with the standard orthodox beliefs of his faith and would be shared by the vast majority of women who practise that faith - otherwise they would not be attending that particular college.

You obviously believe everything you hear in the media, When Pat said he does not talk to him he was referring to his kicking ability and how he doesn't have to talk to him and relies on him to make the field goal every time. It was said right after the Super Bowl. Now the media is brining it up to turn his words around. That is how sick this country and the world is. Butker hit a nerve and perhaps the truth hurts The reaction to his opinion is absurd. Now everyone wants his head as if he's John the Baptist.

For some reason I don't think people like Harrison will do that. I think that's more the issue. Why are career and professional dreams a thing for men...but if a woman has them, it's all about being a corporate wage-slave? That's the double-standard that exists here. There's nothing wrong with being a stay at home mom. But there's nothing wrong with having career dreams either. Not everyone hates their job.
