Fox News Report on Controversial Speech by Harrison Butker at Benedictine College

The recent commencement speech by Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at Benedictine College has sparked controversy and debate. During a segment on “Good Morning America,” co-host Robin Roberts and ABC correspondent Stephanie Ramos had an awkward exchange discussing Butker’s faith-based speech.

Ramos reported “mixed reviews in the crowd” at the college when Butker finished his speech, noting that he did receive a standing ovation from some of the graduates and attendees. However, Roberts expressed her belief that commencement addresses should focus on the graduates, not the speaker’s personal views.

Butker, known for his Catholic conservative views, directed part of his speech towards female graduates, encouraging them to embrace the role of a homemaker. This particular comment has led to backlash and criticism, especially on social media.

In addition to his remarks on homemaking, Butker also condemned Pride Month as well as President Biden’s stance on abortion and COVID-19 policies. The NFL issued a statement distancing themselves from Butker’s views, emphasizing their commitment to inclusivity and diversity.

The Chiefs have not publicly commented on Butker’s speech, but the controversy surrounding it continues to grow. The speech has ignited discussions on free speech, personal beliefs, and the role of public figures in sharing their views.

As the debate rages on, the fallout from Butker’s speech highlights the intersection of sports, personal beliefs, and societal values.
