Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s jersey sales have increased significantly as the media has tried to bring him down for his commencement speech at Benedictine College.
The sales come after earlier this week, a petition to dismiss Butker had been launched following the speech.
During his speech, the three-time Super Bowl winner called men to be āunapologetic in your masculinity.ā
While discussing the importance of his own faith, Butker noted that āour own nation is led by a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is delusional enough to make the sign of the cross during a pro-abortion rally.ā
āHe has been so vocal in his support for the murder of innocent babies that Iām sure to many people it appears that you can be both Catholic and pro-choice,ā Butker continued.
āHe is not alone. From the man behind the Covid lockdowns, to the people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America, they all have a glaring thing in common ā they are Catholic. This is an important reminder that being Catholic alone doesnāt cut it,ā he declared.
During another moment in the speech, Butker brought attention to the ādeadly sin sort of pride that has a month dedicated to it.ā
āBut if we are going to be men and women for this time in history, we need to stop pretending that the āchurch of niceā is a winning proposition. We must always speak and act in charity, but never mistake charity for cowardice,ā he said.
āI never envisioned myself to have this sort of a platform, but God has given it to me, so I have no other choice but to embrace it and preach more hard truths about accepting your lane and staying in it.ā
