Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered the commencement speech at a Catholic University where he railed against DEI, supported traditional gender roles, and called out “Catholic” leaders that support abortion. In response, a petition to “Demand the Kansas City Chiefs to Dismiss Harrison Butker for Discriminatory Remarks” has received well over 100,000 signatures.
The petition, in part, reads, “his comments were sexist, homophobic, anti-trans, anti-abortion and racist…. These comments reinforce harmful stereotypes that threaten social progress.” It continues, “we 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. We call upon the Kansas City Chiefs management to dismiss Harrison Butker immediately for his inappropriate conduct.”
The NFL responded saying, "Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity… His 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."
Christians still make up the majority in the United States, and we cannot allow a tyrannical minority of voices control speech, determine career trajectories, and influence institutions and organizations. The woke mind virus has taken over many aspects of American popular culture and is divisive. The Left demands to destroy Butker’s career for the crime of expressing his Catholic views.
Fortunately, there has been pushback from Christians, conservatives, and even free speech liberals. As the Left rallies to destroy Butker's career for expressing his beliefs that Christians have held for thousands of years, we're launching our own petition to demand that the NFL does not back down to the woke mob!
