    Oh, I fully support his belief in saying what he thinks.

    It’s always good to know where the morons are so you can avoid them.

      …but before you answer, let me introduce you to out, gay linebacker, Carl Nassib.

      Go ahead Harrison. Share those views with Carl. No. No helmets or pads now.

      Just you, Carl, & your oh so important views on homosexuality.

        Just out of curiosity, I looked up both their weights. Harrison Butker is a slim guy, weighing in at 199 lbs. Carl Nassib outweighs him by about fifty lbs.

          Carl also made a career out of upending tight ends, stopping running backs, & flattening full backs.

          Harrison might be a football player, but there’s a damn country mile between his “roughin’ up” abilities & Carl’s…

    I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.

      a blatant attempt to get canceled.

      Except “getting cancelled” isn’t a thing, the right will embrace him and give him the platform which is what he is actually aiming for, and he’ll be on all their podcasts, and sponsor their brands, and keep most of his fans and gain more, and create a whole comfortable living for himself from being a bigot, like so so so many others before him.

      They are wholly devoted to “conserving” systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I’m not sure how that could be “good” no matter how they went about it.

    Yup, we’ve known he’s a hardcore Catholic douche for years here in KC. In his shoes, I’d not be so preachy though. People that preachy get their skeletons dug up.

      I think you’ll find the negative feelings towards pride month and women’s rights are shared amongst many players regardless of their background.

    He did this during a commencement speech. That makes it even worse. There’s a reason why most commencement speeches stick to genetic themes like believing in yourself or doing great things or remember to give the university money or things like that, and it’s to avoid whatever this was.

        You’d know it’s not a joke if you’d ever been to Columbus. It’s on par with a polyamorous witch doing a commencement speech.

    I wonder if he realizes…

    he’s a dude in tights.

    being chased by other dudes in tights.

    and occasionally, fighting over something called a “pigskin”.

    Also, don’t ask what happens in the dogpile. what happens in the dogpile… stays in the dogpile…
