Kansas City Chiefs’ Kicker Harrison Butker went viral after delivering a graduation speech to a private Catholic University that calls out anti-family, anti-heteronormative woke culture and calls on women to choose Motherhood over a corporate career. While the NFL condemned the speech, others have rallied in support of the kicker, including making his jersey the number one selling jersey in the NFL.
The MSM has been busy mischaracterizing his speech and pretending that it is the social norm to be outraged that some believe a woman’s best future might be, on average, being a Mom, not a CEO. One response from a tone-deaf anti-Americanist leftist, Gayle King, was to insist a man should lose his millionaire job for daring to say women should be mothers. She screeched, “I think everybody has the right to be wrong or hold opinions that others feel are wrong, but he has a right to say what he believes. But it is — it is — was very antiquated thinking, I think, in 2024. But a lot of people — a lot of people feel the way he does. The fact that he got a standing ovation, I think, says a lot.”

On Friday, CBS finally joined the virulently anti-family liberal media’s rhetorical lynch mob fighting to convict Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in the court of public opinion with a discussion during CBS Mornings and, while ABC moved on, NBC’s Today upped the intensity of its disgusting and hypocritical venom toward a speech about the importance of the family.
In other words, Butker stood up for something the three co-hosts on Today have personally and repeatedly discussed is paramount to their lives. Instead of scorning him, they could have mentioned the numerous charities Butker has supported, include Foster’s Outriders charity (which our Craig Bannister explained here).
CBS roped Butker into their “Talk of the Table” segment with fill-in featured co-host Nancy Chen claiming Butker “seemed to dismiss women with career goals.”
Oof. We’re already off to a bad start. Butker said, in fact, nothing of the sort of instead argued many of the female graduates would come to see motherhood and marriage as their greatest accomplishment.
Co-host and Democratic donor Gayle King and co-host Nate Burleson went first, opining Butker shouldn’t lose his job.

The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City–Saint Joseph has issued a statement voicing support for Kansas City Chief’s kicker Harrison Butker and his “right to share his faith and express his opinions.”
Since his commencement speech, Butker has seen his words get distorted in the media and has faced enraged calls for his dismissal from the team. The NFL put out a statement distancing itself from player, and espousing a “commitment to inclusion.”
The official X account of the city of Kansas City even went so far as to partially doxx Butker, prompting Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to launch an investigation into the Mayor’s office.
In a statement to the Catholic News Agency (CNA) Thursday, Bishop James V. Johnston defended the devout KC kicker.
“Harrison Butker’s passion for his Catholic faith and his family are beautiful and well known,” Johnston said. “And like most people, he also has strong opinions on where we are as a Church and as a nation.”
Johnston continued: “The Catholic Church believes that God calls everyone to pursue holiness no matter what path they take. As St. Paul notes, that diversity of callings and vocations is essential to the life and mission of the Church.”
