Harrison Butker compares himself to a SAINT as he doubles down on 'misogynistic' commencement speech in which the Kansas City Chiefs star told female graduates to focus on being 'homemakers'

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has compared himself to a saint as he doubles down on a 'misogynistic' speech he made saying women are happier as 'homemakers'.

The 28-year-old delivered a 20-minute speech last Saturday at the Catholic private liberal arts college in Kansas.

In it, he said men should 'fight against the cultural emasculation' and encouraged women to be 'homemakers' instead of working.

On Friday night, he doubled down on his remarks, comparing himself to Saint Daniel during another speech at a Regina Caeli Academy event in Nashville, Tennessee.

He told the event: 'Over the past few days my beliefs, or what people think I believe, have been the focus of countless discussions around the globe.'

He continued: 'At the outset, many people expressed a shocking level of hate. But as the days went on even those who disagreed with my view points shared their support for my freedom of religion.

'As to be expected, the more I've talked about what I value most, which is my Catholic faith, the more polarizing I have become.'

The kicker went on to say his decision was one that he did 'not regret at all', and said it wasn't people but Jesus Christ he was trying to please.

He continued: 'I can't help but tremble at the thought of the courage many saints have shown in their lives. Would I be so bold if the repercussion was what Daniel faced in being fed to lions.

'In reality any courage I have shown will lead to some small suffering, and it will lead to some people never liking me.

'If I constantly remind myself of the hardships the saints went through, especially the martyrs and their persecution, it makes it all seem not so bad.

The Western man is emasculated. We are all wearing a dress right now. Harrison Butker is correct in his assessment.

Right out of Satan’s playbook to misappropriate “saint” amd put a meaning contrary to scripture on it.

Glad to see there’s still someone who gets it. The way people talk nowadays has me wondering who’s left.

He didn’t compare himself. He talked about standing up for what is right similar to Daniel. This crap is so stupid.

He didn’t tell females to focus on being homemakers. He said MANY would end up being more satisfied with their role as mothers than any career. The MSM changes the message, then criticizes the revised message.

One of the other parts of his speech was that fathers are important. The MSM doesn’t want to go there. They select one part, modify what was said, then label him.

I have always admired Andy Reid, but he has been great in this, telling the media, “I let you people in here and I darn sure don’t agree with a lot of what you say.”

Ain’t that the truth. This guy comports himself like a real gentleman. For that he is to be shunned, disrespected, and punished.

I see the Cultural Marxists are still losing their minds over this.
