Controversy Strikes: Harrison Butker's Commencement Speech Sparks Outrage

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is under fire for delivering a sexist, anti-LGBTQIA+ commencement speech that quoted his teammate Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Butker, 28, took the stage at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony Saturday and railed against working women, Pride Month, abortion and other issues during his 20-minute address, leading to swift backlash on social media. “It is safe to say that over the years, I have gained quite the reputation for speaking my mind,” the NFL player acknowledged before attacking “dangerous gender ideologies” and President Biden’s “bad policies and poor leadership.” #harrisonbutker #nfl
