The Chiefs’ Silence On Harrison Butker Is Embarrassing

The Chiefs have been the model standard in the NFL in terms of winning. They have also been quietly the post-boy for rehabbing knuckleheads.

Some have been successfully rehabbed just by being put in the same room as Andy Reid and given time to mature – Travis Kelce.

Some are scumbags but so talented they’re worth the risk in their eyes – Tyreek Hill.

Some are so stupid that they never had a chance from day one – Kadarius Toney.

I’d argue Harrison Butker is some combination of examples two and three. Except I’d argue that even the best kicker in the world isn’t worth keeping if he’s an ignorant piece of trash who isn’t smart enough to keep his mouth shut even if his brain is wired in a way to believe what I’m about to tell you in a minute.

The Chiefs’ silence on Harrison Butker is embarrassing and I’d argue if this organization had real leadership there would be something done about their kicker’s commencement speech.

Butker said a lot of things in this nonsensical speech. I’m not going to go over all of it. Some of it is religion-based and history has taught us that humans do absolutely insane things based on religion. I mean… Vikings literally killed each other for years and years because they couldn’t decide if there was more than one god.

I could dive into a lot of this but for the sake of time, I’m just going to talk about one particular section of this idiotic rant that somehow nobody even attempted to interrupt him at any point.

“For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives,” the Super Bowl champion said. “I want to speak directly to you briefly, because 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 can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on this stage today and able to be the man that I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it 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.”

Can we hit the pause button for a hot second? This is 2024. Are we really going down the women are only “homemaker’s” road? We already have a bald idiot who was arrested for human trafficking. This shouldn’t be a popular opinion but as a society, let’s be out on anybody who sides with that idiot on women’s rights.

Just quickly though, Butker’s statement of women being told lies is factually incorrect. If Butker was actually intelligent, he would know that like fish, cats, and dogs; we are more than our thoughts and our brain frequently gives us incorrect surface-level answers all the time until we do further research to make a more informed opinion. I suggest Butker does just that. The Chinese Farmer would never approve either.

This is the reality. Outside of being given a raise to the manager at Chic Fil A (Yes, I still go. Screw you their chicken is good. Judge if you want to, IDC.) what Butker said in his speech gets him fired from 90% of jobs. I’m just wondering why the Chiefs haven’t done just that. Forget about thinking about cutting him, they haven’t even released a statement. Pure no comment mode from the entire Chiefs organization.

It’s an embarrassing look for the Chiefs and I hope something changes soon. If the Chiefs aren’t going to do anything about it, maybe Roger Goodell should. He’s stripped draft picks for less than an organization showing a continued pattern for bringing on knuckleheads that make the league look bad. Goodell stripped the Patriots of a first round pick in 2008 for spygate, which turned out to be a complete lie made up by an awful reporter. Maybe Goodell should look into this if the Chiefs won’t.

Side note: The winner of the best tweet of the day goes to this one.
