Benedictine College
Travis Kelceteammate, Harrison Butkeris in trouble with some Swifties … who are furious with the Chiefs kicker for the way he evoked Taylorthe name of during a controversial commencement speech over the weekend.
The polarizing conversation with the graduates took place on Saturday at Benedictine College — a Catholic school in Atchison, Kansas — and some of their comments left people outraged, to say the least.
Kansas City’s special teams criticized Joe BidenCOVID policies, the LGBTQ community and abortion during his 20 minutes on the podium… and even at one point, he said he believes a woman’s “most important title” should be “housewife.”
In an effort to emphasize one of his boldest takes… he also threw in a line of “Decorated with jewels“, referring to her only as “his teammate’s girlfriend” while doing so.
Since then, Butker has been dragged by many online… with Taylor’s fans criticizing him for drawing her into a tirade that some found misogynistic, homophobic and offensive.
In fact, GLAAD just released a statement to TMZ Sports condemning the words… saying, “Harrison Butker’s commencement address was not only a clear error, it was inaccurate, misinformed, and woefully out of touch with Americans on Pride, LGBTQ people, and women.”
“Butker’s comments undermine experiences that are not his own and reveal him to be someone who goes against his own team’s commitment to the Kansas City community and the NFL’s standards of respect, inclusion and diversity across the League,” it said. the organization. continuous.
So far, the Chiefs have not addressed the speech. The same goes for Kelce and Swift… but it’s safe to say that if either of them brings it up publicly – the KC locker room could be a little awkward to start the 2024 season.
