Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker bashes Pride Month, tells women to stay in the kitchen

Seems like someone deleted this after it got posted, so let’s call out this piece of shit. Apologies if repost.

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world…”

Adide from the WTF factor, imagine being the most easily replaceable member of the team and saying literally anything divisive at all. Like bruh you ain’t the QB, you can be gone end of the season and thats it, no one gonna look twice at you. You’re a step above the guy in the mascot suit.

NFL kicker has to be a really weirdly rough job. You don’t really do much work during the game and have far less risk of violent physical contact, but you have to practice your ass off outside the game because the kicking game has little margin for error. Your role is absolutely critical and can easily decide the outcome of almost every game, but nobody respects you and almost nobody knows your name unless you fuck up real bad. I used to be a huge NFL nerd but can only name three kickers: Pat McAfee because he’s a TV personality now, Sebastion Janikowski because of his name and how rotund he was, and Ray Finkle who isn’t even a real person just a movie kicker. I can’t even remember the name of the Hall of Fame kicker for the Pats and Colts who won many Super Bowls.

And yeah, nobody will give a shit if this shitstain goes away. Will the NFL, well-known for their respect for human rights and progressive views, actually do anything about it, though?

FigMcLargeHuge ,

Goddamnit, I almost blew water out of my nose when I got to Ray Finkle.

Thank you, that was bugging me… just not enough to actually search it myself.

Eddie Murray was the top point scorer for the Lions for the entirety of the 80’s. Growing up in Michigan during that decade, he and Barry Sanders (90’s) are the only Lions I can remember.

Maybe that’s just a really specific circumstance of a great kicker on a shit team, but I think he was pretty respected.

Olhonestjim , (edited )

Wow, I only knew Ray Finkle and had never had any idea whether he was fictional.

AngryishHumanoid ,

The kicker is normally the highest scoring player on the team, they really are weirdly underappreciated.

son_named_bort ,

Pat McAfee was a punter, but yeah a kicker is like being a ref: if you know their name it usually means they did bad.

secundnature ,

I believe they prefer to go by Lois Einhorn now.

Hey. The guy in the mascot suit actually works for his check. This fuckstick is lower on the roster than the towel boy, and seems even less intelligent than the orange water cooler.

vaultdweller013 ,

The orange water coolers are semi-sapient so thst checks out.

They’re part human‽ 🤫

No, just approaching near human intellect. Dont piss them off.

no reason to put down kickers because of butker. its probably the most mentally tough job in the league

blair walsh went from all star record breaking kicker to not even in the league anymore all because of 1 single missed kick

Tujio ,

Then the Seahawks had to sign him under the official NFL ‘you break it, you bought it’ clause.

i still remember walsh taunting zimmer after making a kick in the preseason 😂

This dumb fucker’s only skill is kicking a football

some_guy OP ,

Which makes him an expert on sociological domestic issues, obviously.

glimse ,

It’s not true for every player, of course, but I’m inclined to think he got into Georgia Tech through football recruitment, not academic qualifications.

harrys_balzac ,

Surely not Georgia Tech, a world leading institution in the study of…, …, ummm…, tech-ish things?

glimse ,

Its not a bad school, my cousin went there and he’s a very successful engineer. But he didn’t go there for sports

wjrii ,

Taken as a whole (i.e. not just the undergraduate football players getting Bachelors in the management program that is kept around partially so they will have something to study), it’s a world class research institution, currently ranked 36 in the Times Higher Education table of world universities. For reference, it’s ahead of schools like the London School of Economics, McGill, and the Sorbonne.

But this guy is an idiot and an ass.

You say that now, but imagine they got rid of the doping rule. Then it would be “this dumb fucker’s only skill is kicking a football… two miles into the air.”

I’m just saying, sports would be a lot more fun if everyone was an inhuman muscle monster.

Butker, a conservative Catholic himself, dismissed Pride month as consisting of the “deadly sin sort of pride” while denouncing abortion and President Joe Biden’s handling of the pandemic. He said women are told “diabolical lies” about career ambition when “one of the most important titles of all” is that of homemaker. He said this is not time for “the church of nice” and in particular blasted Catholics who support abortion rights and “dangerous gender ideologies.”

What a tool. But the school says:

The society seeks to differentiate schools that “refuse to compromise their Catholic mission” from those that have become “battlegrounds for today’s culture wars.”

Yet they invite this tool to speak and be part of those same culture wars.

apnews.com/…/catholic-college-conservative-commen…

Just in case you think it’s one right-wingnut school turning out students who attend because it suits their narrative:

Benedictine College’s Transforming Culture in America plan makes professional advancement for students a high priority, saying “Transforming Culture in America will require leaders in the workplace and public life who inspire others to be committed to living the Gospel.”

The “BC in D.C.” program was started specifically to help Benedictine College students gain experience in positions of power in our nation’s capital in order to further the Center for Constitutional Liberty’s mission to inspire, inform, and direct the next generation of America’s leaders.

…benedictine.edu/bc-in-d-c-is-bringing-benedictin…

So there you have it, a religious school intent on inserting religious like-minded individuals into politics and influencing politics in the direction of individuals like Butker.

He’s a kicker. Who cares what he thinks?

Lt. Lois Einhorn cares

Hugh_Jeggs ,

I spent about ten seconds trying to parse the first two words of that title.

Chief’s kicker

Chief kicker

Chief’s kicker

It makes absolutely no sense no matter how you read it

BakerBagel ,

The team is called the Chiefs, and he is their kicker. Your ignorance isn’t the author’s problem.

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

He is the kicker for the team named the Chiefs.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

A team? A team of what? Netball students? Ping pong players?

njm1314 ,

You being an ignorant chud doesn’t make it a bad title.

thisbenzingring ,

What a douchebag.

IWantToFuckSpez , (edited )

Lol. Is he the best that college could find to give a commencement speech? Says more about the college than this brain dead dingus.

n2burns , (edited )

FTA:

Butker recently delivered the commencement address at Benedictine College, a liberal arts institution in Atchison, Kansas. This is the same college that once forced out gay basketball player Jallen Messersmith to remove a rainbow flag from his dorm room window.

It would seem that Butker felt right at home.

So unfortunately, it seems like this might be what the college was going for.

Dasus ,

Oh shit. Only thing I have to say is:

>Liberal arts institution

>“take that rainbow down”

Pick one

BakerBagel ,

Thats not what liberal arts means… Liberal arts colleges require classes across multiple disciplines across the humanites and sciences, beleiveing a rounded education is beneficial to a hyper specific one.

n2burns ,

I would say the pick one is more of “Liberal arts institution” and “rural Kansas”.

Dasus ,

Ugh, true enough. Lol.

A complete idiot representing the group of people most diabolically lied to telling a group the former group hates most that they’re the most diabolically lied to is peak Nationalist Christian, and just as putrid.

mhague ,

Oh, your god said we should do that? But my god is a super god times infinity and he says the opposite.

Just goes to show you that for every kid that is mature for their age, there’s 100s of adults that never left the playground.
