The NFL has distanced itself from Kansas City Chiefs Harrison Butker's controversial speech which has sparked a backlash after he suggested female graduates were most looking forward to becoming wives and mothers. During a commencement speech to graduates at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, the Super Bowl-winning kicker railed against abortion, called Pride month a 'deadly sin', and attacked lockdown measures during the COVID pandemic.
' During the 20-minute-long speech last week, Butker - who's made his conservative Catholic beliefs well known - also referenced lyrics from Taylor Swift - who is dating his teammate Travis Kelce - and said 'familiarity breeds contempt' when discussing how Catholic priests should not become 'overly familiar' with their parishioners.
