No joke: EVERYONE is coming after Harrison Butker for a commencement speech he gave at Benedictine College, a private school 60 miles up the Missouri River from Kansas City.
Apparently, that person was fired, but the rest of the establishment wants this man destroyed.
The actual NFL - the same NFL that allowed people to kneel for the national anthem for years on end - SLAMMED Butker for expressing millennia-old biblical beliefs that the majority of Americans have held since the founding of the nation.
I'm not joking, the actual NFL released a statement condemning the speech.
Commenting on Butker's speech for the first time May 15, the NFL said that his views differ from those of the organization.
‘Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,' Jonathan Beane, the NFL's senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, tells PEOPLE in a written statement. ‘His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.'
Again, years of woke grandstanding. The "black" national anthem at the Super Bowl. Silence. But a man says things that are taught in the Bible and all of a sudden there needs to be a media firestorm??
So what did Butker say that was so damnable? We wrote about it earlier this week, but let's move a bit slower to understand why so many powerful people want to destroy Butker's life.
The first controversial topic: Women as mothers.
Yes, this is controversial to the Left in 2024. Here's what Butker said about women in his speech. On purpose, I've used a version of the speech edited by a leftist.
I want to speak directly to you briefly, because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you're going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world …
I'm on this stage today and able to be the man that I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I'm beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.
A woman taking care of her family and her home while her husband works hard to provide for them is seen as slavery to the Left!
Next, Butker took a shot at President Biden and his stance on abortion:
Bad policies and poor leadership have negatively impacted major life issues. Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values in media, all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder. Our own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally.
He's been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that I'm sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice.
Sorry lefties, but Catholics believe in not killing babies, as hard as that is to comprehend.
Not controversial at all.
And lefties had an absolute fit over this line:
Not the deadly sin sort of Pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true, God-centered pride that is cooperating with the Holy Ghost to glorify Him.
Yeah, speaking truth is gonna get you in trouble these days, Harrison.
Last, and probably most controversial, is Butker's stance on men:
To the gentlemen here today, part of what plagues our society is this lie that has been told to you that men are not necessary in the home or in our communities. As men, we set the tone of the culture, and when that is absent disorder, dysfunction, and chaos set in. This absence of men in the home is what plays a large role in the violence we see all around the nation. Other countries do not have nearly the same rate of absentee father rates as we find here in the U.S., and a correlation could be made in their drastically lower violence rates as well.
Be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy. You might have a talent that you don't necessarily enjoy, but if it glorifies God, maybe you should lean into that over something that you might think suits you better.
Men being strong men will always be offensive to the Left. They hate the idea to its core.
Shame of the NFL. Their version of inclusion is not for Catholics, apparently.
Liberals will compare Butker's speech to Colin Kaepernick's kneeling during the national anthem, but he did that while on the clock, not during his own time speaking at a private university.
They'll mock conservatives who told LeBron James to "shut up and dribble" when he started talking politics during interviews; but, again, this was while LeBron was on the job. It's not the same as giving a speech at a private university.
So Harrison Butker has every right to have given this speech at a Catholic university — and given it from a Catholic perspective.
He's a Catholic. The school is Catholic.
Leave this man alone, lefties, and get back to your Pride Month preparations. We give you guys a whole month to spew your sin.
And to the NFL: Stop listening to the woke cult. If you want to know where the money is, since that's apparently all you care about, pay attention. 👇
