      Reminder that his guy told a bunch of women at their graduation that their life doesn’t start until they get married

      Edit: this is his intentional message:

      >I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world…I’m on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation…and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.

      Via the article:

      On Wednesday, Aug. 7, Butker, 29, addressed the comments he made at Benedictine College on May 11, and stood firm on his sentiments, according to the Associated Press.

      “I feel like, seven years in the league, having this platform, I’ve just decided, ‘You know what, there’s things that I believe wholeheartedly that I think will make this world a better place, and I’m going to preach that.’ And if people don’t agree, they don’t agree, but I’m going to continue to say what I believe to be true and love everyone along the way,” Butker said.

      He continued, adding: “I prayed about it, and I thought about it, and I was very intentional with what I said, and I stand behind what I said.”

      The whole Chiefs players are so unlikeable, bonus we have to deal with that Karen Brittany.

      “I’m going to love everyone along the way”, then proceeds to say hateful garbage. The cognitive dissonance is next level.

      [GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization, is responding to Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s commencement ceremony speech at Benedictine College in Kansas last weekend. Butker’s remarks included disparaging LGBTQ people, Pride, access to reproductive health care, and choices he believes women should make for their futures.](https://glaad.org/fact-check-harrison-butkers-commencement-speech-falsehoods/)

      He is added to the list of deplorable people I want to just go away. He is just as gross and Elon and JK Rowling. They are all the same.

      And it’s very intentional that Travis Kelce is buddy-buddy with him and Morgan Wallen. 

      We gotta start calling out terrible people by association more.
