Fortunately no one— and I mean NO ONE— gives a fart about what “the NFL” thinks .

Atheism is an establishment of religion, too.

It is a religion that has been officially respected, sanctioned, protected, preached, and imposed more than any other.

While the merest suggestion of Christian virtues and morality get condemned as being "divisive", not "inclusive", "intolerant" and that it "shouldn't be shoved down our throats."

Atheism in control of culture has had more than its fair share of time and power. It's time for something else to have its turn.

Harrison Butker’s speech is such a breath of fresh air. Benedictine College’s official video of the speech has approximately one million views after only 5 days. Besides raising the ire of all the haters, the speech will genuinely touch many, many listeners, particularly young people. With the seed planted by this tremendous speech, many souls will discover or rediscover Jesus Christ as well as traditional values and pro-life beliefs. I’m 100% sure that numerous listeners found themselves Googling many of the topics upon which Harrison touched.

I wonder why the nfl commented? The guy was not at work when he said what he said. Now, had he been at the mic during a postgame interview, that would be different. They may want to clarify he speaks for himself, not for the league. Furthermore, they could justifiably ask him to not talk about religion while at work bc it isn’t good for business. But, when a guy is in his own time, the nfl needs to stfu.

What horrible, non-inclusive things did the 28-year-old Butker say?

He said that children need mothers and fathers in the home.

Ironically, it's the essentially the same thing Bill Cosby said in a May 17, 2004 speech to the NAACP on the fiftieth anniversary of the Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education.

But these people, the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard.

Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca-Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! And then we all run out and are outraged, 'The cops shouldn't have shot him.'

What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else, and I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said, 'If you get caught with it you're going to embarrass your mother.' Not 'You're going to get your butt kicked.' No. 'You're going to embarrass your family.'

...In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had on and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today.

Although the allegations against Cosby of repeated sexual assaults of women date back to the mid-1960s, the floodgates of women going public with their recollections didn't begin until January 2005, eight months after the NAACP speech.

Coincidence, or was the black grievance lobby retaliating against what "America's Dad" had said about black families?

And now we have the NFL stepping into the fray against a white Catholic placekicker who spoke about the role of mothers and fathers in their children's lives to a graduating class at a Catholic college.

Screw the NFL. They have become another institution aligned with the left’s goal of destroying America. NASCAR tried it with the noose incident but that fell flat on its face. Destroying an institution like the NFL has been a goal of the left for ages.

As a small aside, I am triggered when I hear the word “Yankee.” I think Major league baseball needs to force the Yankees to change their name.

“Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia...”

In this short sentence fragment Butker ruthlessly grouped together and called out many, many Americans who were probably not expecting to have their behavior even scrutinized, much less subject to a clear public indictment based on ages-old (but recently airbrushed out of modern public discourse) Catholic moral doctrine.

Trump, for example, not being Catholic, but instead looking to appeal to a certain subset of the voting public, is apparently blind to the manifold mortal sins baked into the respective institutional cakes associated with In-Vitro Fertilization and maternal surrogacy.

The NFL just condemned this speech by Super Bowl champion Harrison Butker. They 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 don't want people to hear it. It would be a shame if you make it viral.

It’s interesting how much angst Butker’s traditional Catholic speech has created among detestable, Godly deniers. It tells you the deep dark anti-Christ abyss in which the Country has sunk. It will take an army of ‘Butker men and women’ with sincere Biblical beliefs to unabashedly shine light into the darkness by speaking truth to God’s people. It’s a shame and a disgrace that the so called leaders of established religion have gone over to the dark side and left the job of preaching Biblical truths to the masses. It’s heartening to see this happening and I pray it kindles a huge discussion among non-believers and sparks an awakening that the road to true happiness just might be following Christ the Savior of the world.

From the article:

The NFL of course has a long and rich tradition of defending degenerate and even criminal behavior by prominent players, like when Rice was arrested and charged with double homicide in 2000 after a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta. Good thing Rice didn’t come out and say he was pro-life.

It was Ray Lewis, not Ray Rice, who was charged with double homicide.
