Add like and leave your opinion in the comments !! Travis Kelce is standing up for Harrison Butker, asserting that the Kansas City Chiefs kicker is both "a great person and a great teammate." The future Hall of Famer addressed the situation on his latest "New Heights" podcast episode, speaking publicly for the first time about Butker's controversial Benedictine College speech that caused a stir earlier this month. Fans had eagerly awaited Kelce's take, especially since Butker mentioned Kelce's girlfriend Taylor Swift during the speech. Kelce made it clear that he doesn't align with "just about any of" Butker's views expressed in the speech. However he emphasized that this does not change his opinion of his long-time friend. "I've known him for over seven, maybe eight years," Kelce said to his brother, Jason, on the podcast. "I cherish him as a teammate." He added, "When it comes to his views and what he said at the [Benedictine College] commencement speech, those are his. I can't say I agree with most of it -- or, just about any of it except for his love for his family and kids." "And I don't think I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views on life. That's not who I am." Kelce continued, noting that Butker has always been kind to the friends and family Kelce has introduced to him. "That's how he treats everyone," he said. Patrick Mahomes also voiced similar sentiments earlier this week, describing Butker as "a good person." Coach Andy Reid defended Butker during a conversation with reporters as well. Despite calls from some fans to punish the kicker for his comments, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell stated that he values the league's "diversity of opinions." #traviskelce #harrisonbutker #traviskelcedefendsharrison #harrisonbutkerspeech Travis Kelce Defends Harrison Butker After Controversial Grad Speech
