Chiefs' Harrison Butker Stands by His Beliefs without Regrets


Speaking at the Courage Under Fire gala hosted by Regina Caeli Academy in Nashville, Tennessee, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker expressed his unwavering stance on sharing his beliefs in a recent commencement speech. The 28-year-old athlete affirmed that he has no regrets about his actions, acknowledging the presence of both supportive individuals and an unexpectedly high level of hostility from others.


After delivering a controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, where he shared his perspective on women's aspirations, criticized certain Catholic leaders for promoting what he deemed as potentially harmful gender ideologies, indirectly referenced Pride month, and voiced his opposition to President Joe Biden's policies, including the Supreme Court's reversal of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, he recently made his first public comments on the matter.


"It is now, over the past few days, my beliefs or what people think I believe have been the focus of countless discussions around the globe," Butker said Friday. "At the outset, many people expressed a shocking level of hate. But as the days went on, even those who disagreed with my viewpoints shared their support for my freedom of religion."


Acknowledging that he is no stranger to criticism for his on-field performance, Harrison Butker, a three-time Super Bowl champion, expressed that he prioritizes his religion over football. "It's a decision I've consciously made and one I do not regret at all," he said.


The NFL has distanced itself from Harrison Butker's comments, stating that they do not reflect the views of the organization. Despite not always agreeing with Butker, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes acknowledges his teammate's right to hold his own beliefs. On his "New Heights" podcast, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce expressed his appreciation for Butker as a teammate. While Kelce may not agree with the majority of Butker's views, except for his love for his family and children, he believes that he should not judge Butker based on his religious beliefs or views on life as it goes against his own principles.

At the top of the draft, the quarterback class was once again the focus, with 3️ of the first 4️ picks being quarterbacks. Analysts were generally high on the quarterbacks in this draft, with experts projecting that many of them will become starters at some point down the line.

Strong prospects from every position group were drafted, including some players that were considered to be steals in later rounds.


Of course, not every pick was a home run. Some teams reached for players or failed to address their primary needs, leaving many analysts scratching their heads. Disappointing picks in the early rounds can have serious consequences for a team's future, despite the talent available in later rounds.
