There are some times when maybe, just maybe, one should actually stick to sports.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has been tremendously successful
in his chosen profession over the last few years; the 1027 seventh-round
pick out of Georgia Tech has helped his team win three Super Bowls, and in
the 2023 season, he made 94.3% of his field goals in the regular season (a career high), and he went 11-fot-11 in the postseason.

Butker’s legacy of tolerance is a bit more complicated.

Butker recently delivered the commencement address at Benedictine College,
a liberal arts institution in Atchison, Kansas. This is the same college
that once forced out gay basketball player Jallen Messersmith to remove a rainbow flag from his dorm room window.

It would seem that Butker felt right at home.

After delivering some incendiary comments about Covid and President Biden, Butker got around to what he perceives as a woman’s ultimate and rightful place: the kitchen.

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to
you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I
would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about
your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.

“I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say
her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and
as a mother. I’m on this stage today, able to be the man that I am,
because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.

“I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot
be overstated that all my success is made possible because a girl I met in
band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my
wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all. Homemaker.”

Then, Butker got to what he termed the dangers of the “church of nice.”

“The world around us says that we should keep our beliefs to ourselves
whenever they go against the tyranny of diversity, equity and inclusion,” Butker said. “We fear speaking truth, because now, unfortunately, truth is
in the minority.”

Then, on to Pride Month, which takes place in June.

“Not the deadly sins sort of Pride that has an entire month dedicated to
it, “but the true God-centered pride that is cooperating with the holy
ghost to glorify him.”

Butker has every right to say whatever he wants at such an address, but he
also deserves the flak he’s going to get over it. Most likely, he’ll take
it as one for the team in the fight against, as he put it,

“dangerous gender ideologies.”
