On Thursday, Todd Starnes<\/a> posted an article about a graduation speech given by Kansas City Chiefs football team kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College, a private Catholic school in Kansas.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is facing the wrath of the National Football League.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He recently delivered a commencement address at Benedictine College, a private Catholic school in Kansas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Butker encouraged women to embrace their vocation as a homemaker and that set off the heavy-set, magenta-haired feminist crowd.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother,\u201d Mr. Butker said. \u201cI\u2019m on this stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIt cannot be overstated that all of 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker also blasted Gay Pride month and condemned President Biden\u2019s stance on abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally. He has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I\u2019m sure to many people, it appears you can both Catholic and pro-choice,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

More than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling for him to be fired.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand accountability from our sports figures who should be role models promoting respect for all people regardless of their race, gender identity or sexual orientation,\u201d read the Change.org petition. \u201cWe call upon the Kansas City Chiefs management to dismiss Harrison Butker immediately for his inappropriate conduct.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are these the same people who were quiet when some of the best players in the NFL were charged with various crimes such as sexual assault, driving under the influence, and drug use?<\/p>\n

The article concludes<\/p>\n

\u201cHarrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,\u201d said Jonathan Beane, the NFL\u2019s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, in a written statement to People. \u201cHis views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NFL has an interesting definition of the word \u201cinclusive.\u201d Their definition does not include players who are pro-life, pro-family or pro-Catholic. And if the NFL is so inclusive \u2013 why aren\u2019t there any female linebackers or quarterbacks in the league?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harrison Butker’s speech expressed values that were mainstream in America less than fifteen years ago. Is our society or culture better off now that these values are no longer considered mainstream?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
