Thanks for posting the entire transcript of the speech. After seeing how it was portrayed by the MSM, no wonder why it was misrepresented because “clicks” are more important then context, thought provoking and values.I'm wondering if all these people "outraged" and calling for Butker's head have even read his speech in its entirety. He is a devout conservative Catholic, voicing conservative principles to a predominately conservative audience at a conservative Catholic college. What do people expect. I guess he should just stick to kicking and not express his views.... you know, copy LeBron or Colin Kaepernick. CNN, NY Times and others were headlining negative interpretations. 110,000 (probably more by now) called for him to be thrown off the Chiefs team.
He did not denigrate women or insinuate that they should not get degrees..... he merely stated inconvenient truths.... families are better off with a mom and dad in a married relationship. Son of a gun, he was praising the nuclear family.... somehow that makes him anathema to the NFL...lol... the paragons of DEI virtue signallers.
Neither did he cast any dispersions on LGBTQ'ers. His comment about PRIDE, in my opinion, was an observation that a group of people have coopted the word and that real pride can be found in fulfilling what he considers, when viewed through the lens of his faith, to be our real purpose...... the preservation of family and the protection of LIFE.
"Cancel him".... the crowd shouted..... "cancel him".
He WAS outwardly critical of the hierarchy within the Catholic Church. So there's that.
It was quite a commencement speech. I don't think it was meant to be touchy feelie, but was meant to provoke thought. It was from the heart and rather tame in comparison to other commencement ceremonies around the country that were peppered with hate or outright canceled. He definitely provoked negative and positive reviews. MSM seemed joined at the hip in criticizing.
I don't know its significance, , but after the speech Butker's number 7 Chief's jersey was outselling Patrick Mahomes' jersey. I'm thinking of buying one.

dont disagree with your points, but are you trying to say people weren't outraged by kaepernick??? the same people who cried about kaepernick are upset that people are crying about butkerI'm wondering if all these people "outraged" and calling for Butker's head have even read his speech in its entirety.

Very few in the MSM were outraged by Kaepernick, in fact, they were honoring him as some kind of hero. Do you think we’ll see the same with Butker? If you read the transcript, there’s a lot there beyond the cherry picked quotes that don’t provide context.
You really miss the point. Tone deaf??? LOL. You are just digging and sifting through things to find fault.
Again..... taking a sarcastic, maybe misplaced throw away line from me about Kaepernick and using it to poke holes in Butker's speech.
im not poking holes in his speech with that comment. bit of a strawman point there. the comment speaks for itself.
He is allowed to share his decidedly conservative Catholic views with a predominately conservative Catholic audience at a decidedly conservative Catholic college. It is a level of Catholic Christianity that not many understand but is a growing phenomenon. I applaud your agreement that he should not be pilloried for it. I question your declaration that he is " wrong"..... a sweeping statement that ignores a lot of uncomfortable truths that he presents.
Anyone think the time for choice was right before having sex. A choice was made and this was a consequence of that choice. Maybe that makes me a pro choice catholic but anti no consequences. I’m going down the turnpike today if I choose to drive 100mph, can I choose not to pay the ticket, then choose not to go to jail for not paying the ticket. Why are we always looking to give people an out when it comes to being responsible for their actions.
i do agree that if you go 100mph down the turnpike you get what you get, a ticket being the least of your concerns
I apologize for outright saying "wrong". I disagree with the bulk of what he stated (and yes, I did watch his whole speech) but I am a firm supporter of people being allowed to speak their beliefs and also disagree
Nice that you choose to avoid the time to make the decision and consequences of decisions.
The comparison of drug, alcohol, and tobacco use is laughable. You wouldn't allow any of these people to change their outcome, given the opportunity?
wow you’d want to live in a world where people can decide to F up their bodies anyway they want with no consequences for it.
It's crazy to me that your equivalence to conception so far has been: high speed driving, drug use, tobacco use, alcohol use.
Parenthood is a consequence. There are such things as a good consequence in all aspects of life. I got up and went for a run this morning. There are good consequences to that. Shaheen getting better players will have consequences and so will getting worse players have consequences.
and of course everyone here is acting like hes aristotle and this is some profound lost concept.
It doesn’t sound like you read the whole transcript because you missed the point.
Is it any harder today than it was 20, 50, 100 years ago? There have always been families that didn’t have the luxury.
How do you know that? Just because he has more resource’s doesn’t mean he lacks perspective. Once again, if you read the article, you would know that he is a man of faith very much involved in his community. In fact his perspective on how the Catholic Church needs to help parishioners more rather than ask for their help was quite provocative.

Completely taken out of context. Curious how saying a bill that could land you in jail for pointing out who killed Jesus according to the Bible is the same narrative Nazis had during the Halocaust? By her logic we shouldn’t point out white people owned slaves. Pointing out facts isn’t hate speech it’s just facts of the past with nothing to do with people in todays world.The natives will like this
NBC Sports Boston's Trenni Casey blasts Harrison Butker's commencemt speech as 'dehumanizing hate'
Trenni Casey delivered a scathing rebuke to Harrison Butker for his controversial during a commencement speech last week.awfulannouncing.com
Thanks for sharing. Somewhere along the way the nuclear family, faith, love for our country and having values became frowned upon.Consider this point of view. She said it better than I could:

Tavia Hunt, the wife of Chiefs’ owner Clark Hunt, recently shared the following on an Instagram post regarding recent comments made by Harrison Butker:
“I’ve always encouraged my daughters to be highly educated and chase their dreams. I want them to know that they can do whatever they want (that honors God). But I also want them to know that I believe finding a spouse who loves and honors you as or before himself and raising a family together is one of the greatest blessings this world has to offer. Studies show that committed, married couples with children are the happiest demographic, and this has been my experience as well.
*Affirming motherhood and praising your wife, as well as highlighting the sacrifice and dedication it takes to be a mother, is not bigoted. It is empowering to acknowledge that a woman’s hard work in raising children is not in vain.*
Countless highly educated women devote their lives to nurturing and guiding their children. Someone disagreeing with you doesn’t make them hateful; it simply means they have a different opinion. Let’s celebrate families, motherhood and fatherhood. Our society desperately needs dedicated men and women to raise up and train the next generation in the way they should go. Proverbs 31:28 says, “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Embracing the beautiful roles that God has made is something to celebrate.
*I also caution against taking things out of context. Sound bites overlaid with hateful comments are not what we want to model for our children or others. We need more dialogue (and VALUES, IMO) in this country and less hate.*”
That part of the anti-Semitism definition isn't about pointing out who killed Jesus in the Bible, it's about assigning the blame to the Jewish people as a whole. Yes, the people primarily responsible for Jesus' death in the Bible were Jewish. No, the Jewish people living today are not any more responsible for it than those of any other religion and to suggest they are would be antisemitic. That's what it's about.
i clearly missed where he blames Jewish people as a whole. He mentions congress passing a bill. Nothing about assigning a blame to all Jewish people as a whole. I don’t even see it implied. He was talking about speaking truth. Clearly you agree this is truth.
I assumed you were referring to the bill that wanted to adopt the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, so I wanted to clarify the part of that definition that people are misunderstanding and freaking it about. I promise that nobody will throw you in jail for pointing out that the people responsible for killing Jesus in the Bible were Jewish.
That’s true today but who knows about 10 years from now. I would’ve never guessed things would have changed so much in 10 years. You better be sure lawyers won’t find a way to challenge that in the future. So the question is how is it written. If it’s written in such a way that you can be thrown in jail, even though you won’t, he’s not wrong in anything he said. It seems some politicians voted against the bill for that reason.
Political points, a politician's only priority is securing re-election.
The fact that she saw nothing but hate in that speech and not love is the most damning statement about society today.
