Petition Demands Team Dismiss Him

LOL. I said two days ago the NFL can't ignore Butker's statements, and there's a good chance he will no longer be in the league.

Other FRiends replied: "no way, he's too good for the Chiefs"

My original comment stands. Remember what Mao Tsedong said: "in a truly marxist society, every breath you take will be a political act."

We're getting pretty close to that.

If Butker wasn’t was one of the best kickers in the NFL, he’d be gone already.

THEY ARE ASKING THE NFL TO SUSPEND HIM FOR THE SEASON FOR HIS REMARKS..

ASKING THE CHIEF’S TO VACATE THEIR SUPER BOWL.

cancel culture says it’s ok to hate Jews- Christians, Conservatives with a white hot demonic anger, but its never ok to agree with God and never call LGBTQ a sin

I despise the NFL already so if they fire this young man I will not be able to boycott them.

On the other hand if the team and the league don’t fire him and don’t try to force him to apologize, the chances I watch their sport once in a while go up to 1%—essentially tripling the possiblity...

If taking a knee is protected, then so is this.

Read his speech carefully.

https://musingsofanoldcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2024/05/harrison-butker-tlm-is-so-essential.html?spref=fb&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR0ww8EeOR8OEH5Lp82Ucc9md-WttharNgQ8b4PrA1QtkBrL5FxUOOs0BEE_aem_Aas7rwVBOYHDwfKGeOqXsjXxKsQvP0dPUTazeM9dQm5Hkdhsr0TxZLHW_dwo1sw0pIeh4thNblXkk109W4ha_GvI#google_vignette

It seems that Butker’s comments, by a traditional Catholic, for traditional Catholics, at a traditional Catholic college have ruffled some woke feathers.

The only people who could legitimately take issue are Joe Biden and the self-identified “devout catholic” politicians that he calls out.

Everybody else who is butt-hurt should go take a sitz bath.

Religious persecution and attempting to kill free speech. He should sue the NFL.

I knew this was coming. I give it two weeks. Either the furor dies down or he’s released.

The dude’s a place kicker, and the typical kicker’s career in the NFL is pretty short as it is. He’s got some guts to speak up and speak out.

Top tier place kickers actually have long careers as they don’t get hit so much and only play 10% of the downs. Butker is a Top Tier placekicker.

And he doesn’t take it to work with him, but speaks freely as an invited guest to those who want to hear him. The Great Reggie White (RIP) received similar treatment over his opinion on race (he was black), but he was already retired.

He won’t be released. The Hunt family have historically been serious Catholics.

When she writes a hit record about it, he should get royalties.

If she does, Kelce could hire professionals with “auto tune” to write an “answer song”. Could be a huge hit!

Actual Catholics, or the fake Catholics his speech railed against?
