Eddie Vedder is calling out NFL star Harrison Butker for his recent controversial comments during a college graduation speech. The Pearl Jam frontman, 59, paused the band's show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to lambaste the Kansas City Chiefs kicker for remarks he made during a commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11. The “Jeremy” singer’s remarks were filmed by multiple concertgoers, who shared videos of the comments online.
As the crowd cheered him on, Vedder went on to express a more egalitarian view about relationships between men and women, saying, 'There should be pride in homemaking whether you’re a man or a woman. It’s maybe one of the hardest jobs and you should definitely take pride in it. 'But you shouldn't not follow a dream because you think ... that you’re going to benefit by giving up your dreams?” he asked. “I couldn’t understand the logic, so I’m questioning it in public right now.
