If there was any Chiefs teammate who would refer to kicker Harrison Butker as “Harry,” then you knew it was tight end Travis Kelce, right? Kelce let that tidbit be known in the latest episode of the New Heights podcast. Butker was a topic of conversation for Kelce and his brother Jason, the podcast co-host.
“I probably might be the only person that calls him Harry,” Travis Kelce said as his brother laughed. “I’ve known him for eight-plus years and I cherish him as a teammate…He’s treated family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And that’s how he treats everyone.”
“When it comes down to his views and what he said at Saint Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life. That’s just not who I am.”
Kelce said his mother, Donna, and father, Ed, both provided financially for the family and were homemakers, too. “They were unbelievable at being present every single day in my life,” Kelce said.
Jason Kelce shared his thoughts on Butker, too.
“He’s giving a commencement speech at a Catholic university, and, shocker, it ended up being a very religious and Catholic speech. To me, I can listen to somebody talk and take great value in it, like when he’s talking about the importance of family and the importance that a great mother can make, while also acknowledging that not everybody has to be a homemaker if that’s not what they want to do in life.”

Spineless POS...
Was that Travis or Taylor Swift talking?
So what? Who cares, what this leftist tool says/thinks?
I wonder if Taylor Swift wants children?
She’s got the money. And the biological clock is ticking loudly.
I suspect it would, unintentionally, be the end of her career. If she became a mother, I imagine it would be impossible for her to write more songs about teen angst and romantic breakups.
Would her audience want to hear music from a mature woman?
Thanks for sharing that with us you big drunk ape
Adopting a Haitian baby would probably keep her in good with the crowd that likes her now.
Not on the subject of the article but on swift, she can either go the Mick & Keith/Madonna route or she can move on like the late Robbie Robertson route
Her musical career could take off in another direction from touring. She could do movie scores, produce, engineer, do voice overs
She has to have a piece of property by now. She might want to work and her people her sponsors depend on her but…
And that’s with or without kid
Did he actually hear the speech?
I know what sort of guy Travis is and I also have an impression about his brother — somewhat different. Harrison is a person who I admire and I think it is only logical for Travis to say “Harry is a good guy and I don’t always agree with him, but he is someone I value.” which is what is said here.
Good on the Kelce guys for talking about it on their show. Big whoop — a hot-dog is still a hot-dog.
Re: the Kelces. Their father, Ed, is self-identified “blue collar” and their mother, Donna is a banker with an MBA. So that may also color their views re: the homemaker part. And why Travis is attracted to someone like Taylor Swift, who is very business savvy.
I agree. He’s a coward.
Well Jason apparently did (from rest of the article)
Jason Kelce, who has three daughters, said people have asked what he would think if those girls were in the audience for Butker’s speech. “If my daughters listen to anybody tell them what to do that they should be homemakers, then I’ve failed as a dad,” he said. “I don’t care who’s talking to them. ... If you don’t like what somebody says, all you have to do is go, ‘Well, that guy’s an idiot,’ and then you move on.
“I get what the fuss is about because certain of these groups have been persecuted against for a long period in this country. And women in particular. My wife (Kylie), she was I think a little bit frustrated with some of the comments.” Jason Kelce then cracked a joke about telling her to make him a sandwich and the brothers laughed.

And Travis remember is dating a self-made billionaire career woman and his mom was a working businesswoman as well so it’s understandable why the homemaker part is not in sync with what he is necessarily drawn to.
“Religious views.”
As opposed to... what?
One’s religious views ARE his views.
It sounds like he didn’t hear the speech because that’s not actually what he said.
I am not a Swiftie but a lot of conservative women are and I don’t see what the fuss is that she isn’t married yet. Better to wait for the right person, than be divorced. She has plenty of time to have the best of both worlds. Very healthy looking and fit too.
What did he say then?
Let’s just say it’s probably the price to stay with the Taylor. Happy Swift, happy grift.
If some player had given a speech saying that women should not get married, or have children, and they should only have a career, would it even make the news? And would Jason Kelce have a problem with his daughters hear it? Because that would also be telling them what to do?
