Catholic school, Catholic values, private school ... what's the problem here???

Funny thing about all this is Harrisons mom is a scientist

Even if u don’t agree with most of it. Why can’t he just say his opinion. No one thinks alike and we don’t have to be force either.

God bless Harrison for saying this! Keep going Harrison.

Way to go Butker!! And if you think the KC Chiefs are releasing the best kicker in the NFL, you are out of your mind 😅

What a brave and great man speech! I am a homemaker, wife, mother, homeschooler, women and proud of this high calling God has given me and has equipped me to do. Men and women have different strengths and weeknesses that God designed to work together in marriage. What a beautiful blessing and gift when we understand this.

[carolinetrig]

That’s his opinion, it has nothing to do with the NFL. I don’t agree with it but it also doesn’t bother me.

Yeah Catholic college, so he gets a pass. But I find it generally disrespectful and odd to discuss topics like this at a commencement speech, very weird forum for those topics. But he can say what he wants, he was invited, he did nothing wrong

[bethdabruzzo]

It doesn't matter his religion or personal beliefs. The fact that he feels entitled to tell women what he thinks is best for them is incredibly arrogant.

It's called free speech. Everyone has an opinion. If you're offended by what someone else says, it's your problem. Get over it!

Catholic NFL kicker invited to speak at the commencement of a Catholic college. He is entitled (and was in fact invited) to share his opinions there, people are entitled to criticize his opinions, and people are entitled to criticize those criticisms. Imaginary controversy.

A kicker. Ohh boy. Like that's a talent. But is in his last name..what do u expect? They are in college already....so Career is kind of on their mind, says their student loans.

[bethellearning]

He is a brave man of God, let us all pray for him, his protection.

[davidpar]

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. If you don’t agree, practice what you preach, and keep your mouth shut.

[martysmith]

Where are his right to preach his beliefs? How are the rights of others any more important than his? I don't understand the hypocrisy....

[adamtki]

Based on the comments here, I’d say this news station speak for only 20% of the people.

[PiaLoveBSNRNCCBTP]

Sounds like he had all sorts of Christian based things to say....sounds like motherhood is a pretty important issue for women.

[RachelCason-kd]

Ironic that a football player, during a politically charged religious commencement ceremony, repeatedly tells women, politicians, LGBTQ, Christians, men, Catholic leaders stay in “their” lanes he is defining for them…which is not the lane of a football player.

If he talked about handing out Reparations and BLM …… he would have been applauded

[johnbostick]

Lgbtq community speak their mind and opinions, why isnt he entitled to his 1st ammendment right. People have got to realize we will all never think the same, believe the same. People never have and never will, leave him alone and let him have his thoughts and beliefs as GOD gave them to him and all others. This is ridiculous.
