you can tell journalists don't agree with something because they use the word controversial over and over again
His Jersey is selling big time, love it!!
Well he’s not wrong
Not all female graduates will grow up to be Taylor swift
He was there to encourage the graduates but sounded more like maga to me.
Yes by telling them to be men and women and put their energy and focus on their family , how awful
Another free speecher against others free speech
He went to a conservative Christian college and spoke about men and women values. He is right on what he spoke about. He might not agree with it but to blast him and cancel him speaking on certain Christian values is what’s the problem in this country.
Total MAGA speech. What does bashing gay people have to do with a college graduation?
@oregonziggy2391 he said what needs to be said, and the snowflakes began to melt!
God willing, we WILL take this country back!
If he would have spoke against conservatives, the media and celebrities would have cheered him on and made him a hero.
bro said God and everyone got offended lmfaoo
It’s God’s message that women should stay in the kitchen?? I went to Catholic school sir, and I don’t remember that verse in the Bible. We women don’t want more than our brethren. We just want you to take your foot off our necks. And let us live a life that fulfills.
if he said Muhammad, all would be silent. Or if he were in a black church, all would be silent.
No he said women are there to serve men
@@brandonaldaymachuse6669they are
The man was speaking to a Catholic college on his own time and received massive support from the crowd.
😂😂😂 in their world wwf reality tv stars get to grab women when they want. They don’t see any problem here
if "They let you" then why not? Do you have that much problem with women's choices that don't line up to your own? Isn't that a tad misogynistic of you?
@@Snipergoat1 🤣🧌 that’s a great sardonic line of questioning that can’t be serious. Thanks for trolling. Troll harder next time. 🐒💩
The NFL is steadfast in its commitment to profits. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
ABC news stirring as such controversy as possible. Image a man promoting motherhood and family, how dare he.
You are so dumb it's shocking. Which makes your comment make sense for me. Satan bless you :)
Harrison Butker is a misogynist and homophobe...completely inappropriate for any graduation speech. And plenty in attendance were NOT pleased.
Wrong place to promote it at a graduation but you’re old and so are your beliefs. 😂
He was telling women at a college GRADUATION they will be most fulfilled when they have kids. Why bash gay people?
@@oregonziggy2391 right?! Don’t forget about abortion and IVF. What does any of this have to do with graduation?
Imagine this speech at a funeral. 😂😂😂
Hes very handsome, and he not wrong, he wasnt offensive, he didnt call any names. I stand with his free speech right. Not a story
We're in the 21st Century, where (most) people are enlightened enough to understand that everything ain't for everybody...but it looks like some people didn't get the memo. 😕
Yeah the 21st century and more and more of you guys don't even know what you are lol
Truth is truth.....it is never outdated and it'll never be outdated.
I guess thats true about slavery then too……
What truth??? A weak man afraid to compete with women!!!
@@hamburglar83always one in the bunch
Biased misogynist and homiphobe much? Majority do NOT subcscribe to your "truth".
@@hamburglar83has slavery ceased to exist?
I mean , America is chalked full of political slaves.
The reaction to this so called "controversy" is all the proof you need
The same guys who support him are the same guys who would get mad if somebody made a graduation speech that god is not real .
Ignorance wouldn’t offend me.
The media is controversial. He is right.
Thank you Harrison Butker!!! Well said indeed.
The Chiefs players will take care of this. I see a cut block and a torn ACL coming on the first kickoff practice of training camp.
Shaq: Why don’t you buy watches for women?
Chuck: Because there’s already a clock on the stove
And now women can't even do that
He is just a football player voicing his own erroneous opinion!
You are the epitome and example of the decline of America
Not so sure how erroneous it is but ultimately that's it. The media seem to be the only ones that think this is worth getting spun up over.
I swear people just wait around and wait for something to complain about.
He was celebrated in a college where people are conservatives. What do we expect? but broadcasting it to the public about his speech did surely made him a celebrity.
Yup...he's definitely attracting the racist and hateful maga crowd.
He was celebrated in a college where people are CATHOLIC-ish. Know the difference?
So now we have a problem with people speaking their mind? WOW I prefer being around people that are transparent.
All the demons possessing these outraged people commenting on here being all riled up now, lol! 😂 TRUTH divides itself from the lies, not sorry.
@@jazmineee8512where was this outrage when players are beating their wives , not raising their kids and getting caught with guns ?
@@jazmineee8512stop yelling
This kind of thing plays a part in why I'm not religious. It breaks my heart to see some religious people put others down and ostracize them.
Absolutely, Church attendance is down +12% in the past two decades! Evangelicals have the highest divorce rates of major religions! (tRump's people!)
That’s like saying you don’t eat bread coz some people that eat it smack
Same I stopped going to the catholic church at 10. When even as a young person I saw how hypocritical it is.
@@user-en1zc5vd6y
A lot of things turned me off of religion. However, I have a lot of respect for religious folks that don't disrespect and put people down.
@@oregonziggy2391
Do fundamentalists call you a devil worshipper too? Did your family freak out? I'm so lucky that my Christian parents and brother have always supported my choice 100%.
I am outrated that GLAAD is outrated response. Basically, if you do not agree with us, then do not speak.
no. basically if you are going to publicly spew hatred, vitriol, and bigotry, eat glass.
@sarahierstein8169 I would remind you that hate speech is protected. Second, all of those things are a matter of opinion. Third, it is called fascists is what you are talking about.
I disagree with what he said, If you don't have something nice to say about people, you shouldn't speak. Women are beyond the rolls men put on them
biology put the roles upon them. take it up with God or nature/science
I like this guy! 😄
Shame on the media
How dare he tell the truth!! The truth isn't OUTDATED.
This is why women become lesbians like Niecy Nash and I am so proud that I'm one of them. KEEP VOTING BLUE! 💙🌈
His knees will b gone and he won’t matter any more…
Hes a kicker , they have the longest career out of any nfl players 😂
He obviously doesn't care if you listen to the full speech
Well at least he will have his well functioning brain
Yes being a good father and women being more valuable to their family than there employer are really hard things for people to support , degenerates , this is why western society if failing
As far as i can tell being any part of LGBT is a sin. Good on him admitting it aloud.
How is it a sin? Because of religion? You realize that god is not real...right?
Isn't working on Sunday a sin?
@@sarahierstein8169 no
This is why women become lesbians and I am so proud that I'm one of them. KEEP VOTING BLUE! 💙🌈
Glad someone finally said this!
Bravo!!!!
I stand with Butker🫃🏻🇺🇸
God bless that man!
That’s his opinion tho…it’s his right…I don’t get it…people can say whatever they want but you don’t have to agree or believe it…but to force an organization to take away everything because of this speech? Didn’t incite anything, didn’t call for violence. I don’t get it
Insinuating that gay people are subhuman contributes to violence toward them. He may not have directly said, harm the gays, but that is exactly where messages like his lead. People like him do not care about harm that comes to "others" he deems unworthy.
The media is creating the controversy. Anything to make the opposition look unpopular. Are they forgetting the quarterback from the same team is a devout Christian? Guarantee you he shares the same beliefs. When did it become shameful to respect human life?
God's not real though.
@@P.90.603 See you’re entitled to your opinion. No media controversy. It’s all just media manipulation to paint their own narrative.
Finally someone stands up for the majority
False...but lies and gaslighting are the go to.
Truth! And it will set you free!
Minority
The basic principles of Christianity are seen as controversial only because we live in a heathenistic society. Imagine that, it's controversial because of it's basic theological content and principles, but someone giving their kid a sex change operation or having an abortion is seen as widely accepted when those are completely unnatural and centered in selfishness...
It's so sad that the NFL still doesn't protect the players from traumatic brain injury 😢
And you are the epitome of why men with the means go overseas to get women for compatibility companionship and marriage
This guy clearly has one.
By stating a common Catholic belief in a private Catholic University? Who do you think you are championing here? These girls would have heard this before and many, if not most would agree with it. This is illustrative of one of the common problems in feminist thought. "A woman can do anything, so long as it is something that we approve of." and it's related "We can advise men on what they should do but no man may ever advise us." It just more of your normal double standards crap.
You guys don't have a leg to stand on but something tells me you will likely have a lot of cats to keep you company.
Women can accomplish anything they want and then you mentioned the lgbtq community number one I have family that's I have nieces
free speech
I support him everyone else who is not lgbtq do not support that
Get rid of him
Why?
For what having an opinion ? Sounds like someone’s a commie
💩
Agreed
If he was in a dress giving kids lap dances would you be this offended ? Thought not
Quel personnage rétrograde !
Fire him - if we can speak of firing university presidents or other sports figures for not being aligned with their employers code of conduct, why is this DB any different?
What code of conduct says you cant have religious beliefs ?
@@liberalismisaids9564 employees here in the U.S. are at will; employment and contracts can be terminated with or without cause with or without notice; I’m being nice by giving a justification, but in reality, we don’t have to have ANY justification WHATSOEVER. He needs to be FIRED! Anything else?
@@evolvelearnapplywe can continue with the victim Olympics if you like , people have free speech and we wouldn’t be talking about this if he was a gay dude sitting at a podium telling kids to cut their junk off would we ? Cope
@@evolvelearnapply oh the victim olympics is heating up , fact is he wont have anything done to him , maybe people shouldn’t wake up and cry because someone has a different opinion
@@liberalismisaids9564 stop deflecting - anything else you need clarification on as it relates to how the law works on voiding contracts and employment terminations? Let me know so I can send you my bill and so I can move on to debate with more intellectual individuals.
He's only facing backlash because we now live in a society that is full of nothing but a bunch of malcontents cry babies and whiners who have nothing better to do than cry whine and complain.
Or we are smarter than the old tired ideas of the past! This guy is a tool!
@josephwallace3885 No I doubt that you're smarter.
Besides that, we have this thing in America called free speech. I'm sure you've heard of it.
@@AwesomeBabyBoomer free speech to reject this guys ideas. Yet when people use free speech to speak out against these backwards ideas, you mention they are babies and whiners? Which is it? We have the right to free speech or not?
@@josephwallace3885smarter? Omg, have you seen today’s youth? IQs are dropping! Our ancestors were far smarter than we are!
@@cobraofficer8399 That is not true at all.
Truth
🤡🚮😏
The truly evil hate gratitude because it shines God's light on the lies that they cling to.
Titus 2:3-8
Old women, similarly, should be in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well,so that they may teach prudence to the young women, so that they may love their husbands, love their children,be sensible, chaste, restrained, have concern for the household, be kind, be subordinate to their husbands: so that the Word of God may be not blasphemed.
Exhort young men similarly, so that they may show self-restraint. In all things, present yourself as an example of good works: in doctrine, with integrity, with seriousness,with sound words, irreproachably, so that he who is an opponent may dread that he has nothing evil to say about us.
blah blah blah blah blah. I went to a catholic college too - because it had an amazing molecular biology program. Doesn't mean I wanted or needed to hear this kind of garbage.
The guy is really immature. I mean, half of people divorce and most people probably cheat...but you don't say it at a wedding.
Well divorce and cheating are directly contrary to most peoples marriage ideals. There is no inherent disagreement between the concept of commencement and the idea of a woman choosing mother and homemaker as their primary career. After all commencement is just that. Commence living your adult life, whatever direction that it takes you.
@@Snipergoat1 The point is that this is not the place to talk about it. People are here to celebrate, not to listen to sexism, hate, and to be insulted. I mean, I could make a speech and say don't rely on god because god is not real, but you re real. What I say is true, but I should not say it at the commencement. And I bet you that most of these morons that support this guy would get upset at me for saying god is not real at the commencement.
You would think that a three time Super Bowl champion would have a little more class.
At the end of the day, he can act like that and women still line up to get with him. I'm not supporting the guy...but clearly women react more positively towards him when he's dramatic.
I feel bad that his kids have to grow up with such a narrow minded father. Beliefs like that are the cause of some childhood trauma
Most kids with NFL fathers dont grow up with a father , but those are the good and moral players right 😂
Something tells me his kids will be just fine, probably better than most…
So much hate and anger in the man's face. Not a face of celebration.
Only in the opinion of a snowflake
@@Checkeroute But u wouldn't refer to your friends, the KKk as snowflakes, even though they literally dress like snowflakes. 🤣. Gotcha mothefker.
Really not sure where you saw that. Are you sure that's not just projection? Besides he was basically saying life was good and he was blessed. Not a sentiment common in those full of hate and anger. I'm going with projection.
@@Snipergoat1 😅🤣 You're an idiot! The guy is clearly hateful and insulting people. You think people got upset for no reason? You're a moron.
I'm a female and agree w/him and I'm Jewish. About time we end abortion and LGBTQ permanently
Family comes first. BTW, I'm not religious.
its only controversial if you have virtue signalled and lost your way...................
at least he doesnt call for the death of all the lgbt people like the leader of Iranian party
This man is 1000% RIGHT !!!!
What happened to diversity and inclusion ?
Or is that only for people who agree with the liberal narrative.
If need to control others even bodily persists there are anger and control behavioral management programs available in many communities.
@@melissabruhn1429
So you have no argument, is what you're saying.
The media is the main problem here. As usual!
If he was there as a representative of his team or the league then he should face repercussions.
He wasnt , this is for people getting a degree , not something most NFL players do
@@liberalismisaids9564 don’t they have to play for a college before getting drafted?
@@beck1365 they have to play a season not graduate , most players dont have a degree
@beck1365 Randall cobb didn't get hid degree until 5 years after he entered the nfl
@@liberalismisaids9564 that explains a lot!
Excellent!!
He is a class act
God's not real though. Imagine making a speech at an institution based on nothing.
God is spirit.
