Harrison Butker made his first public appearance since his controversial commencement speech, and the Chiefs kicker showed no regrets for anything.

Harrison Butker made his first public appearance since his Benedectine College commencement speech on Friday night, and showed zero regret. The Kansas City Chiefs kicker appeared at the 'Courage Under Fire Gala' in Nashville on Friday night, which was presented by the Regina Caeli Academy.

Butker took the stage at the gala and received a rousing ovation before yet another speech in which he doubled down on his faith and his comments, despite the scrutiny he has faced since then. 'The theme for tonight’s gala, Courage Under Fire, was decided many months ago, but it now feels providential that this would be the theme after what we have all witnessed these last two weeks,' Butker said. 'If it wasn’t clear that the timeless Catholic values are hated by many, it is now.

My hope is tonight’s theme and RCA’s mission will embolden others that many more will be unapologetic of their Catholic faith and never be afraid to speak out for truth, even when it goes against the loudest voices. In the end, being courageous starts with the small things. Being disliked and mischaracterized by some is nothing compared to finding yourself in a lion’s den.
