Harrison Butker has broken his silence on the backlash from his recent speech at a Catholic college in Kansas that encouraged women to become mothers and homemakers, telling an audience on Friday at an event in Tennessee that despite facing a “shocking level of hate” for his remarks, he remains unapologetic in defense of traditional values.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicker said during a May 24 gala in Nashville, Tennessee, that he stands by his conservative convictions and has zero regrets for his May 11 remarks as a guest speaker at a college in Atchison, Kansas, when he criticized transgenderism and warned women against falling for “diabolical lies” that the only path to a fulfilling life is pursuit of a career rather than becoming mothers and raising children.
