The NFL can ban a jersey, like they did with Ron Mexico.

Butker is more a Pope than the Pope is. God put him in that position but it is hard to figure out why and what.

Its only “Controversial” to deviants who think slaughtering babies in the womb is something to be proud of

“It is a controversial to say anything we don’t like.”

I’m not a Chiefs fan, but maybe I’ll buy his jersey.

“Polarizing”? “Controversial”?

Die, CBS.

On one hand I want to order it ASAP before he and his jersey are banned. OTOH, I want to wait a week or two to make sure he doesn’t cave.

Listed among the "Top Sellers" on the official website, Butker's No. 7 jersey has gotten quite a bump after the kicker's polarizing remarks.

The obligatory cheap shot from the MSM, in this case CBS.

Jonathan Beane, the NFL's senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, issued a statement to CBS News about Butker’s speech. “Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,” Beane said. “His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”

The NFL is led by idiots. So thy make a statement that is basically critical of the Catholic faith. But Capernick, kneeling for the anthem, BLM riots, anti-Jewish hate,…………. Crickets. Way to stand up for actual American values NFL.
