Left-wing journalist Jemele Hill criticized Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker for promoting Christian values in his commencement address at a Catholic college.
Butker spoke at Benedictine College in Kansas, encouraging graduates to uphold traditional Christian beliefs as they move forward in life.
Hill and other leftists condemned Butker for his support of these values, accusing him of being misogynistic and homophobic. Some even called for the NFL to take action against him.
The NFL’s Inclusion Officer distanced the league from Butker’s views, emphasizing that they do not represent the organization as a whole.
Critics like Lisa Guerrero and activists started a petition to have Butker fired from the NFL.
This controversy underscores the ongoing cultural and ideological clashes between traditional Christian beliefs and progressive values.
