These haters seems more concerned about Butker's Catholic beliefs than the athletes who have abused their girlfriends and spouses.

[first]

Religious schools should not be forced to adopt secular values. If you arent catholic perhaps choose a different school rather than try to change these institutions.

[pilotpro]

There's no fallout. He has millions supporting him. Is he not allowed to have his own opinion? 😂

[humptydumpty]

As of this morning he now has the highest selling jersey in the nfl😂

[rena]

He basically said FAMILY was more important than career.

Who are these people disputing that? I am so glad you were not my mother. No wonder we have so many confused kids running around.

[rtschuh]

People want him fired from his job because of FREE SPEECH they do not agree with. If you disagree with him, so be it. Shrug your shoulders and move on. He kicks a ball for a living...

As of Friday afternoon, Butker's red Nike No. 7 jersey is the "most popular" for Chiefs players on the NFL's online shop

I don’t think you should ever tell women what you think they should do. Some women might be excited. But I don’t see why you should tell women that will be the best choice for you

[burtstineman]

Being a mother is by far the most important job on the planet.

[joechristiansen]

Standing up in support of mothers and homemakers in a nation that over and over again puts them down and looks down upon them. Sounds courageous to me. Kudos to him.
Who cares if the NFL agrees or not, he wasn’t speaking to them anyway.

[lee-annebarrett]

The guy was speaking at a Catholic school, with family and and family values. He values his wife and what dhe does to make a home, whats the problem. Hes not belittling his wife . He was invited to speak.
He wasn't speaking to the players on his team or their wives, he was speaking young women about family values and the family unit and motherhood.
Only woke precious people would take offense to it. Boy have people lost the plot of what family really is about. Family is the building blocks of society

[dodge]

Let the weak people be offended, it’s their super power.

[rockhero]

I'm waiting for Taylor Swift to write a song about this. 😂

“According to a 2019 Pew Research Center study, the United States has the highest rate of children living in single-parent households in the world, with 23% of children under 18 living with one parent and no other adults.” In the African American community 7 out of 10 families are single-parent. As an African American this topic is relevant for me and should be for every American. This discussion needs to start in high school and be further discussed in college. American families are in a crisis and don’t let the deceptive media fool you.

[sunshine]

What did he say that's so offensive? This is ridiculous.

[patrickavondale]

It takes a man who cherishes his wife and her dedication as a mother to say something like this.

[slc]

I stand with Butker. His faith in the God of the Bible are true and wonderful. Stay strong Sir, the Lord is on your side.

[jaceyumiko]

Harrison is the voice of millions !!!! Lesssgooo

[Normahc]

A man with love for his wife and family. We need more of this! My hubby and I worked split shifts so one of us was always home with our twins. We made it work that way and let me tell you my hubby will tell you that being a stay at home parent is a lot of work but so rewarding.

[JGXXD]

This was the most irresponsible reporting; taking everything out of context! Forget doxxing this was a hit piece 🤦🏾‍♂️
