Cancel culture is trying to make Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker its next victim, but the campaign appears to be doomed to failure.
The three-time Super Bowl champion faced backlash for affirming conservative Christian values in a speech to graduating students at Benedictine College, a small Catholic school in Kansas. The topic that most angered the social media mob was Bhatkar’s emphasis on being a housewife as a valuable and important profession for women.
“It’s empowering to recognize that women’s hard work in raising children is not in vain.”
The Kansas City Chiefs organization has not publicly commented on the controversy.
However, the two women closest to Kansas City Chiefs CEO and Chairman Clark Hunt have spoken out in support of the message Butker shared, saying his position within the team is not in jeopardy. It suggests that.
Mr. Clark’s wife, Tavia Hunt, did not specifically mention Mr. Butker, saying his message was “not bigoted.”
“It is not prejudice to affirm motherhood and celebrate wives, and to emphasize the sacrifice and dedication it takes to become a mother. It is empowering to acknowledge that women’s hard work in raising children is not in vain. I’ll give it to you,” she wrote on Instagram. .
“Countless highly educated women dedicate their lives to raising and guiding their children. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean you have to hate on that woman. It simply means she has a different opinion,” she added. “Celebrate family, motherhood and fatherhood. Our society desperately needs dedicated men and women to raise the next generation and train them in the way they should be.”
Tavia said she encouraged her daughters to get an education and “chase their dreams.” But she also cited research showing that “committed married couples with children are the happiest population,” and that raising a family with a devoted spouse is “one of the greatest blessings this world has to offer.” He also taught that there is one.
Calling Proverbs 31:28Tavia declared, “Embracing the beautiful role God created us to be is a blessing.”
Clark’s daughter, Gracie Hunt Said Fox News said she respects Butker and that his message resonates with her real-life experiences.
“I can only speak from my own experience: I had the most amazing mother who had the ability to stay home and spend time with her children while they were growing up. And women who don’t have that. I know there are a lot of people out there who make that decision themselves, but I know that in my life it was really formative in shaping me and my siblings. ” she explained.
“I really respect Harrison and his Christian faith and what he accomplished on and off the field,” she said.
Meanwhile, the NFL sought to distance the league from Butker’s comments.
“Mr. Harrison Butker gave the speech in his personal capacity.” Said Jonathan Beane, NFL Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. “His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusivity, which only makes our league stronger.”
