    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.

    Prompt : You are an undereducated over privileged young man that has been told he was special from a young age. You have grown up in lockerooms and on playing fields surrounded by very similar people, many of whom you must obey. What are your views on women and homosexuals?

      …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.

    I am less concerned with his opinion, and more concerned a place invited him to speak to graduates… some of whom I assume were women.

      Yup it’d be best at that point to usher him away and apologize for the insane bull crap he just said. Can’t believe they let him finish rambling stupid shit to everyone.

    Is there a such thing as a “good conservative”? Why do they insist on being such cockroaches?

      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.

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

    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 never considered professional brawlers (I.e. “American” football players) to be smart.

    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.

      I did like what they did to the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs. Man, I hate NFL dynasties, and I hate Andy Reids parenting, but I hate the Baltimore Ravens above all other things Football, and that’s a fact jack.

    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…
