Chiefs Star Sparks Strong Reaction With White House Visit

Just under a year ago, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker made headlines with his speech at Benedictine College's graduation ceremony where encouraged women to be homemakers.

“I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you,” Butker said. “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. I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother.”

His comments caused a stir on social media, but Butker received support from his teammates, including star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

"I've known him for seven years. I judge him by the character he shows every day and that's a good person," Mahomes said at the time. "There’s comments I didn’t necessarily agree with…there’s certain values that people emphasize more than others. We're not always going to agree. He said certain things I don't agree with. I know what kind of person he is, and I’m going to make sure I look at that first.”
