The NFL is disgusting. A large percentage the NFL has ‘rap sheets’,,,,,yet they distance themselves from an outstanding speech like Butker’s.

The NFL is shameless.

I divorced the NFL when players started kneeling at the National Anthem. This just confirms the wisdom of my decision.

Hey NFL, I love football. Played. Not pro but played.

I’m a Browns and Cowboys fan.

Or used to be. Now think I’m dumping you jerks.

Got a hunch I’m not the only one dumping you, NFL idiots.

I watched part of the speech, he was giving it at a private Catholic College and he is Catholic himself. I saw nothing wrong with what he said. Why is this even controversial?

They don’t care.
They get a cut from the sports books and the fantasy leagues.

I do not understand why certain people are so offended by these comments.

He said some things about men being responsible, and being masculine.

He said some things to the women students, that the greatest gratification they will find in their lives, is not going to be jobs and careers, but rather marriage and family in their future.

I understand there’s lots of people nowadays are pushing women in careers ,and being astronauts or anything they want in a career.

But why is there a leftist meltdown about these sorts of comments? What the heck is offensive about any of this?

But here’s another example of how cancel culture really exists. Sometimes liberals say that cancel culture is a figment of conservatives imagination.

Gee, it’s not like Harrison gave his speech in the chief’s uniform.... on the sidelines...during a game.
After all who does he think he is Colin Kaerpenik!

He was uplifting the things that are part of the foundation of a normal and healthy society: respect for life at all of its stages, the obviously different, complementary, and equally-important roles played by the sexes, and home and family. The Left always uplifts the abnormal and the unhealthy things that corrode and eventually destroy people and society. Always. But, the way things have been going, we are likely to find that out the hard way.

Hw spoke as a Christian humanist, a Catholic espousing Catholic values at a Catholic college. I’ll bet he has read Chesterton. The NFL says he doesn’t speak for them. Enough said.

“I’ll bet he has read Chesterton. The NFL says he doesn’t speak for them.”

I’m pretty confident the NFL DEI mope they sent out to make that statement doesn’t have the first inkling of an idea who Chesterton was & what he wrote. Not typically a group of deep thinkers in the DEI crowd.

I was listening to Dennis Prager today and he said this chief DEI officer is a very lucky person who probably gets paid very well, but Prager wondered what exactly he did on a day-to-day basis.

I have dealt some of the DEI people. They have an extremely intellectually-dishonest take on things, and they are pretty easy to catch. But they have access to power and are dangerous to a free society.

Because of the Narrative. The last 60 years has been mostly all about destroying the basic building block of any society - the family.

Everything revolves around this, and so consequently any sort of Religious belief must be demonized, outlawed, etc. They don’t want young people to know there are other ways of living, or that it is even possible.

Christian humanist?

You might want to rethink that assessment.

The two words of the term are ultimately at war with each other.

Butker’s spiritual life accrues to the glorification of God. He strives for greater and greater humility. Humanism has devolved into naval-gazing and deification of mankind at the expense of the virtue of humility.
