Butker is the Chiefs' kicker and will play his eighth season for quarterback Patrick Mahomes' team this year. He made the longest field goal ever in NFL Finals history in one of the Super Bowls won.
Butker gave a speech at Benedictine College in Kansas on May 11th. In the 20 minutes he was behind the microphone, he addressed mostly women. Who, according to the 28-year-old player, would have been told "the most diabolical lies".
"Some of you will build successful careers in the world. But I bet the majority of you will be most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into the world," he said.
Butker added that his wife's life "really began" when "she started fulfilling her calling as a wife and mother". The kicker then added that his wife "embraced one of the most important titles of all: housewife."
In his speech at the Catholic public school, he also attacked IVF, surrogacy, Pride parades, "degenerate cultural values," "dangerous gender ideologies" and abortion rights.
"Our nation is led by a man who openly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but (...) is so outspoken in his support for the murder of innocent babies," he said.
Stefanie Hills, a former NFL cheerleader for the Chiefs, said on TikTok: "The best part of your speech was when you said 'stay in your lane' ten times. Bro, listen to your own advice," she said.
