Former ESPN host Michelle Beadle says 'everything' Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker said in his commencement speech was 'garbage.'
The critics of Harrison Butker's commencement speech at Benedictine College are continuing to fire. The Kansas City Chiefs' kicker has come under fire after making specific references to female graduates embracing their 'vocation' as a 'homemaker' and President Biden’s stance on abortion as a Catholic.
Beadle, now a part of the San Antonio Spurs' broadcast team, said on her podcast with Peter Rosenberg, 'Over The Top,' that Butker losing his job would be 'absolutely asinine,' and the 'beauty of the system' is Butker can share his thoughts and everyone is able to have an opinion. However, she added that 'everything said was garbage,' adding he disguised 'hateful thoughts and feelings and bigotry' as a faith-based belief.
Butker's jersey sales have since skyrocketed on NFL Shop, while many in the media remain split about the speech. Butker played in his third Super Bowl this year with Kansas City, helping them go back-to-back in February.
