Good thing he didn’t do something crazy like kneel!

His mom is a radiation oncologist who researched gamma-ray cancer radiosurgery.

He kicks a football.

I know who is contributing more to society.

This guy is a bigot, and anyone who doesn't condemn his statements should be assumed to be a bigot.

I'm sure his teammates and coaches are going to love that the fucking kicker is bringing them such negative attention. This isn't (even) Tim Tebow. It's THE KICKER.

I don't think that the world works this way anymore but I think it would be amazing if he lost his ass for that speech.

Something something cancel culture.

When in reality, we shouldn't have to share space with this dude. A half hearted apology, 0 self-reflection and 0 real shame or change based on his 1930s take on what life for women is like.

'Flavor Flav, a vocal Swiftie and founding member of Public Enemy, took to social media to call out the NFL player for his disparging address.

"Sounds like some players 'need to stay in their lanes' and shouldn't be giving commencement speeches," Flav wrote on X.'

Flavor Flav, dude who was fired from PE for throwing a temper tantrum about Bernie Sanders lol

I feel like whenever I hear about the man, I see a story that contradicts the personality I assume from the previous ones...

Complex character

I could see this bastard starting a cult and starring in a Crime in Sports episode later on down the road.

The 28-year-old Butker then took aim at President Joe Biden's policies, including his response to COVID-19, which has killed nearly 1.2 million people in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

that's one way to arrange that set of words, wtf. how many other millions are dead because of Biden that this story isn't telling us about?!
