Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce says that he “cherishes” his teammate Harrison Butker following his controversial graduation speech earlier this month, while also distancing himself from his views.

During Friday’s episode of his “New Heights” podcast, the 34-year-old pro-football player weighed in about the wide-ranging speech at Benedictine College in which the Chiefs kicker criticized President Joe Biden, addressed women’s roles, targeted the LGBTQ community, and discussed a “plaguing society” with declining cultural values.
