Harrison Butker Gets Backlash Over Commencement Speech 

Yeah and not everyone is married to a nfl player;were a family can rely on single income and the wife can stay at home

I don’t really care what this guy believes- bottom line it was so strange and kind of narcissistic to disregard the effort these scholars put into their degrees on their day, so that he could go on a soapbox about gender roles. There’s a time and place for everything. And not all Catholics agree with him.

Doesn't the "D" and the " I " in DEI stand for diversity and inclusion ?

Yeah, but it's a Catholic school, though it's obvious his speech is going to lean that way

When I'm in a brain dead competition and my opponent is inside edition comments

What people don’t understand is that he said this at a CATHOLIC college where most people there have the same beliefs he has and what he’s saying is apart of their religion

So preaching Christian values is controversial now?

Oh just come out already, Commander Waterford!🌈

Life isn't all about work?? 🤯🤯🤯

It’s HIS beliefs, not the NFL’s rules. Respect him.

Honestly it's narcissistic to make a graduatiom speech as your soapbox when you could have just given props to your wife and comgratulated the other graduates instead of lecturing women there.

It’s a catholic school.🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

This will be the same man ANGRY when his Homemaker Wife divorces him and he has to pay child support (for multiple children) and alimony and split THEIR assets and money 😂 Watch how quickly it becomes HIS success, HIS money, HIS hard work, HIS assets.

The thing about the backlash is the person getting it has to give a F*** about it to work. Sorry it doesn't matter. That's why freedom of speech is the first amendment.

Freedom of speech whether we agreed or not. Should not be fired over.

Letting a football player give any kind of speech is a bad idea. They're not exactly rocket scientists.

So, if this college espouses this guys beliefs, then why do they even admit women? Oh, that's right, for the money.

Question: maybe he can answer how these women Will pay off their college debt if they stay home and be homemakers. If all of these women (in the audience and those currently graduating, ) take him up on his suggestion that they stand by their man and stay home and take care of him then won’t the Republicans just start complaining next year that we have a bunch of irresponsible women, who don’t wanna pay their loans off??

This is so silly. He shouldn’t be fired.

Amen only family will miss you. Your job will replace you.

I'm sorry, but who says Catholicism is about keeping women in the house? He is one of those men who just believe that a woman is only useful to be a maid and/ or someone to give children. It's absolutely insulting what he said. But to me, the fact that he claims his wife's life started once she became a wife and mother is insulting as well. Women's lives don't start once they become. a wife or a mother . It doesn't make sense that if this is what he believes in. Then he shouldn't be giving any kind of a speech at any institution of higher education.

My wife's life didn't start until she married ME 😂 My wife was NOTHING until she married ME 😂 My wife's existence was USELESS til she married ME 🙄🤔😂😂😂 To my daughter, You as your own sovereign individual being, is NOBODY til you become a House Slave for a man but he will cleverly call it being a Homemaker and a Wife 😊👌 And THAT'S what love is 🫠

It literally does not matter if it’s a catholic school people. He shouldn’t babbling about politics at a graduation ceremony, it’s entirely immature and inappropriate

even if it is a catholic school, i’m almost 100% sure the women didn’t go to school, spend years studying, and paying a ton of money just stay at home to be housewives. this is sooooo cringe

Wow, his wife must be just so happy to just serve him and not be recognized in society As anyone of value. But his career is to kick a ball once in a while. No not play soccer just kick a ball now and then. Wow man, you’ve come so far in your life now you can kick a ball.

He never said anything wrong. Watch the full speech and you’ll see he was actually cheering the women on.

Go listen to commencement school at religious institutions not Christian. You’ll hear a remarkable silence.

I’m just trying to figure out why tf he thought that would end well ;-;

What is this 1800s again

What’s funny is that there’s a bunch of men coming forward saying they’ve slept with him 😭

What did he say wrong, from what I understand he was talking about women going in to 2 directions, they can go and follow their dreams but fulfilling their job looking or start a family then join the workforce

Yeah, it's the old adage "Keep the wives "barefoot" and "pregnant". It's a matter of choice as is religion. It's Butker's life and I don't care what he believes in.

Harrison Who?

"Her life truly started" 😂

He said his wife was happy with no regrets and that he was sure many of them were excited to marry and have kids. People get uppity about everything 🙄

In no way, shape or form is his speech cringe or cringey or cringe worth

Some women have to work because the man doesn’t make enough at work to pay the bills and support the family.

People need hobbies. This recreational outrage is old and played out. If you don't like the speech don't listen to it. No one is saying women HAVE to be stay at home moms. 🙄

Rachel Bitecofer 🗽💡🔭🦆 @RachelBitecofer A thought experiment for men: Imagine women in positions of power arguing that men should be subservient to women while also having the power to potentially make it happen.

If people started objecting to what’s said in Amish, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Jain, Mormon, Sikh schools…. there will be no end.

Tons of people agree with him

This is why football players should be focusing on your football. 😂😂 every speech I've attended seems to have nothing to do with the accomplishment and halfway through in my mind I ask what the hell is going on 😂😂😂

Imagine a school taking your money for 4-5 years, to only turn around and sh💩t on your accomplishment at the very end. I want to see the person or committee who approved the speech.

I don’t see anything wrong with what he said

He's on the down low

He's a kicker.

Harrison said nothing wrong… we stand with Harrison💯

Who gives af. He's a mid kicker with some lame ass views. Who cares!? He's not making any tangible difference

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 He is right. I agree with him and I don’t care what others think.

BOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!! 😡😡😡😡HE’S MEAN!!!!!!!!

Why is everybody flipping out? He never said women can't have jobs

Islam is right about women.

These colleges don't make them go over the commencement speech with them b4 they let them loose on the stage?😮

It's his opinion.. gosh can't anyone have different views anymore or do we all just have to bow our heads and accept the weird way the world is moving. Starting with the transformers to say the least..

I mean i know it was a Catholic school but surely these women didn't get degrees just to not pursue them. The venue was a graduation not a mass. Also, I'm sure anyone who has a millionaire spouse is more than happy to stay at home, it's challenging for the majority of ppl to support themselves let alone a family on 1 income in today's times

Why do famous people speak at these graduations anyway? Like ain't nobody care whats coming out your mouth😂

So let me get this straight. Your gonna insult a man making a speech about how grateful he is for having a wife and being a part of his life? Ladies and gentlemen modern society

I respect he has an opinion like all of us but he shouldn't discriminate.

Let's stress the fact that NFL distanced themselves from this guy's person beliefs. That's a good reassurance.

This guy is from the 1880s.

If this guy were just an ordinary person off the street, he definitely wouldn't have been invited to speak at this event. The only reason he's there is because he's a well-known NFL player, so in a way, he represents the NFL. Remember Juli Briskman, the woman who was fired for flipping off Trump while wearing her company shirt from Akima LLC? It shows how affiliations and public actions can have serious repercussions.

Excellent!!!

He is a weirdo no doubt

So having Christian values is controversial, what happened to inclusion🤔

Have your own views, I dont care if those views go against mine, but if you try to push your views on everyone else, thats where it becomes a problem. As a trans female, I would really hope you support me, but if you dont, I dont care, as long as you dont push your agenda on me, I wont push mine on you

It’s his first amendment right and he was in the right company giving his speech unfortunately if you feel otherwise it doesn’t really matter, I will say I won’t be drafting him on my fantasy football team.

His speech is spot on.. kudos to him! It was also a great appropriate speech for a Catholic school. Good for him. He is right!

In the beginning god created the universe and placed man and women together on the earth so what's wrong with him saying what he believes in?

Oh no! Commencement speaker at Catholic College speaks about motherhood on Mother’s Day! The horror!!!

He strikes me as the same guy who would applaud the "homeless people should buy houses" girl.

W.T.F!?! What year is it?! History can't repeat itself to this. We don't go back, we move forward. Disgusting.

Ok karens calm down, funny thing is as soon as they work and find out yhere husband lets them stay home they will be the most lovey dovey wife cause she knows she wants to rest

Nothing he said was cringe worthy, Mr Jim Moret

Great speech! Loved it:)

'Tone deaf' and 'failing to read the room' might begin to describe this speech.

So they want to fire him from his job for speaking his mind what a weak ass generation

😂 oh my God why do we care? Seriously if his damn message has nothing to do with you move on

He's that women from... little house on prairie...that called Mary .. Jezebel in school....in front oF people.

Bro has CTE

Stop crying over nonsense! Yall be worried about the stupidest things!

As a Christian, I totally understand why he said what he said about his wife, but to me I think it's pretty old fashioned

Was a great speech! He speaks truth!

The Man got a standing O. Cope harder!!

No. It isn't cringeworthy

Stand in solidarity with Butker. GET A BUTKER JERSEY to stand up for families.

I pity his wife!

Until he runs off with the nanny or gardener.

Not surprised the NFL doesn’t think Christ is King

Based.

He spoke the truth

One more reason I watch less and less nfl games. Always taking the side of the liberals.

It was an incredible speech if it offended, you you took it wrong. We need good father and mothers in the world NOW!!!

Stop

He’s there to congratulate the students, not try to enforce his beliefs on anyone watching. But he shouldn’t be canceled, like others have.

Bro he was speaking out of the Bible he’s catholic and it’s a believe and no one’s talking about the stuff he said about men so let this man be !!!

He's got some of it right!!!! People just don't want to hear the truth!!!!!

Hopefully his views on LGBTQ pride evolves to a more positive light. If not, i'm not sure any kid of his who turns out to be of the LGBTQ community will find acceptance at home. For him to be so young, it's sad that he has the view point that many of the women there graduating want to be at home with babies. If that is the case, they wouldn't be there graduating because no degree is needed to raise a child. Make your deep rooted hate make sense, dude.

Me in the first seconds: !! LIES HAVE BEEN TOLD

🤦‍♀️

Good for u Harrison. Family first. If the Cheif fire you that will show their heart.
