Serena Williams throws shade at Harrison Butker while celebrating women's sports at ESPYs: 'We don't need you'

At the 2024 ESPYs on Thursday night, tennis legends Venus and Serena Williams, and actress Quinta Brunson, were on stage in celebration of women's sports, which have risen drastically in popularity.

"You can enjoy women’s sports, just like any other sport, because they are sports," Venus quipped on the stage.

But, while Venus was speaking, her younger sister seemed like she couldn't hold back laughter.

"Except for you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you," Serena said, with the kicker in attendance.

Added Brunson, "At all. Like, ever."

The jab got a pleasant reaction from the crowd.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker drew controversy when he gave a commencement speech at Benedictine College that included encouraging female graduates to embrace being a "homemaker."

Serena Williams' last tournament win was in 2017. She last ranked #1 more than two decades ago.

She's stirring up controversy in a desperate attempt to stave off disappearing into irrelevance.

Our spoiled leftists are almost as intolerant as the Taliban.

Some things i just don’t understand.

One of those is the reaction to this guy.

He gives a speech at a Catholic college, in which he urges the graduates to adhere to the values of the faith. He tells the women graduates in particular, that they will find gratification in their futures as wives and mothers, as well as whatever careers or jobs they may have.

Why does such talk cause the liberals to have such a meltdown?

Is it patently offensive to suggest that some of these women students will be wives and mothers someday???

“encouraging female graduates to embrace being a “homemaker.””

That is misleading at best.

“Every time I want to respect those who are successful on their own merit, they give me cause to despise their arrogant stupidity.”

Nothing successful about playing a game for a living. Just stupid people willing to pay to watch them.

Sorry I found it:

"Caitlin Clark has had an amazing year and is nominated for three awards. Caitlin, you are the Larry Bird in that you are an amazing player, you have ties to Indiana, and White people are really crazy about you."

Most Dems and Libs I know operate on Pack Behavior or a Hive Mentality; “If a high profile, media darling celebrity says they “don’t like” somebody, then all the drones and all the zombies are immediately in lock step union, ready to parrot the same opinion. Most never even analyze why that celebrity made their original remarks.
IOW they let Influencers do their thinking for them.

Most people don’t even know he’s there. We cannot double attendance because we are already at 120% capacity for two of our four Sunday Masses .

We are fortunate to have this church, and Mr Butker, a discriminating assistant, has chosen well for when he is in the area.

She was likely implying they were all MAGA fans too as part of the subtext since black players are fouling Caitlin hard out of white hatred and jealousy. Caitlin was also snubbed because of her race by the Olympic committee.

C'mon man, sure you do.

The truth is so simple that we can't accept how much the left just accepts the bullshit.
