Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker faced backlash following his controversial graduation speech at Benedictine College
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is facing backlash after his controversial graduation speech.
The football player then spoke about his wife, Isabelle, who he declared that she embraced one of “the most important titles of all — homemaker.” “Traditionally, commencement speeches are meant to celebrate and inspire graduates and their families. Kansas City Chiefs player Harrison Butker’s commencement speech was not only a clear miss, it was inaccurate, ill-informed, and woefully out of step with Americans about Pride, LGBTQ people and women,” read a statement from GLAAD on Wednesday, May 15. “Those with expansive platforms, especially athletes, should use their voices to uplift and expand understanding and acceptance in the world.
The petition shared it wants “accountability from our sports figures who should be role models promoting respect for all people regardless of their race, gender identity or sexual orientation.”NFL Speaks Out
