Harrison Butker, placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs and three-time Super Bowl Champion, delivered a powerful commencement speech at Benedictine College on Saturday.
The college’s President, Stephen D. Minnis, expressed his enthusiasm for having Butker speak to the class of 2024, whose high school graduations were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Butker’s address was a fervent call to action for the graduates. He reflected on the challenges posed by COVID-19 but quickly pivoted to broader societal issues influenced by bad policies and poor leadership under the Biden regime.
He took aim at Joe Biden, denouncing his public display of Catholic faith in conjunction with his pro-abortion stance.
The NFL player’s speech was unflinching as he addressed what he considers to be a contradiction between Biden’s actions and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
Butker accused Biden of being “delusional” for making the sign of the cross at a pro-abortion rally and suggested that such actions give the false impression that one can be both Catholic and pro-choice.

Kickers spend a lot of time alone. This is a job enhancement.
Fine school. Know someone who’s going there. Now feel even better about it.
I’m with Harrison on this one. There is no way one can be a Christian ✝️ and support killing babies at the same time.
Nowadays being pro-life at a Catholic University is “controversial”. Good for him. Good for the University.
Good for Harrison. Proud of him.
Uh Oh Taylor Swift’s boyfriend isn’t going to like that.
You obviously don’t know anything about Butker. He’s a devout Catholic with a wife and two kids. He’s never shied away from his beliefs, even in a woke community as the NFL.
He wore a pro life tie to Biden’s White House after winning the 2022 Super Bowl.
Butker is a great place kicker, particularly last year, where he was critical to winning several of KC’s regular season games. If they can award a 2nd most valuable player after Mahomes, Butker is my choice even before Swifty’s arrogant receiver boyfriend.
*You obviously don’t know anything about Butker.*
Gimme a break. Kickers are alone. That’s the nature of the job. He’ll feel more alone with his outspoken views. That’s ok.
This is not his first time he had a fundraiser in 2023 for Missouri senator Josh Hawley.
The Council crowd will be out in force.
Best kicker in the NFL!
Sounds like a decent guy!
Kansas City Chiefs are going to get pressure to get rid of Butker
