Opinion: The Antisemitic Innuendo in Harrison Butker’s College Commencement Speech
Earlier this month, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker briefly emerged from the cave he calls home to tell the female graduates of Benedictine College that their most rewarding experience in life will come from serving a man and bearing his children.
Butker—who spends four months out of the year at a job that entails kicking an oval ball through raised uprights to the cheers of beer-soaked masses—believes American women are being told a diabolical lie.
Their life begins, he says, not when they make a career for themselves but when they begin their “vocation as a wife and as a mother.” This will be quite the news flash to the girlfriend of Butker’s teammate, Travis Kelce, who is arguably the most successful female entrepreneur on the planet (and unmarried and childless).
