Because they have a narrative to push, the media is asking Chiefs players — in this case, the kicker, Harrison Butker — about gun control (because of course).

"There is a debate in this country over the best way to curb gun violence; after being so close to it, any thoughts?"

But when you ask a tough question to a tough man like Butker, you'll get a tough answer like this one.

At the end of the day, this is degenerate violence and it should not be occurring. I think we need strong fathers in the home. I think we need men that are leading, that are setting good examples, that are teaching the young men in our society that violence is not the way to handle our disputes. It's very unfortunate what happened. Unfortunately, many, many children were injured, a beautiful young lady was killed over someone getting offended and turning to violence to handle that dispute. It's so sad. I don't think guns are the issue. I think we need fathers in the home that are being great examples for our youth.

Dads, you hear that?

Get off your high horse. Get off your phone. Put down the booze. Stop being a player. Go to church. Marry a woman if you're going to have children with her. Respect that woman. Respect your children. Respect your community. Get your house in order. Do the things you wished to do but never got around to. Play with your kids. Teach them the right way — not only in your words, but your actions. Help them with their homework (not too much). Help them with their daily struggles. Put God first. Put others first. Smile. Stop getting so offended.

Do all these things and you will have the happiest life imaginable. And so will your kids. And they'll grow up not to be violent criminals, but admirable fellows.

Harrison Butker has a point. We're failing as fathers. And we all know it. Now let's do something about it.
