The NFL wasn’t standing for this. The values of our society had to be affirmed against this renegade. The league’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, Jonathan Beane, announced Wednesday that "Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger."

Yes, of course it does. Diversity is our strength, and all that. War is peace, freedom is slavery, and ignorance is our strength, too. What is striking about Beane’s statement is not so much that the NFL has now distanced itself from a concept that most human beings took for granted as axiomatically true for millennia, but that it saw fit to condemn Butker....

Harrison Butker has placed the NFL into a dilemma. The woke mob will demand more than a PC platitude from the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs. If the league or the team fail to do more than a sternly worded letter, the leftists will have to unleash their thugs and soy boys on professional football and their woke advertisers. If they discipline Butker by demanding a retraction or firing him, they place themselves at risk of a Bud Light or Gillette type boycott by real Americans. Professional football is already slipping in popularity. All I can say, good for Harrison Butker.

A diversity officer for a league that is 60% black. Didn’t Earn It. Parasite pig.

Communists are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.

Ummm, number seven (Butker) isn’t the only one on the Chiefs team doing the speaking rounds not in line with the NFL, Coach Reid is, too; not to mention the Chiefs also STAND for “The National Anthem”.

When asked about politics, Patrick talks about ... football.
