Harrison Butker got disowned by Kansas City following his controversial commencement speech -- at least briefly on social media.
got disowned by Kansas City following his controversial commencement speech -- at least briefly on social media -- with the city's official X account dissing the Chiefs kicker amid the backlash ... before later issuing an apology.
The @KansasCity page -- which dons the gray badge for government-verified handles -- shaded the hell outta the three-time Super Bowl champion on Wednesday ... saying,"Just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in the City of Lee's Summit." FYI -- Lee's Summit is about half an hour outside of Kansas City, and a solid 20 from Arrowhead Stadium. Essentially, the account was saying"dude's not one of us!!!"
Despite whether it was meant to be a joke or not, the account later deleted the diss ... saying,"We apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in error."Of course, Butker has been the center of outrage following his speech at Benedictine College in Kansas ... which covered hot button topics like abortion, the LGBTQ community, Covid and a woman's purpose being homemakers and mothers.
The guy even brought Travis Kelce's girlfriend, Taylor Swift, into the fold ... citing one of her song lyrics to get his point across.It wasn't just the K.C. X account piling on Butker -- the Los Angeles Chargers also threw shade at him with their Sims-themed schedule reveal ... showing him cooking in the kitchen."His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.
