NFL Kicker Sparks Controversy with Remarks on Pride Month and Gender Roles at College Commencement

The NFL recently distanced itself from Harrison Butker's commencement speech at Benedictine College, where the Kansas City Chiefs kicker expressed controversial views on Pride Month and gender ideologies.

During his speech, Butker referred to Pride Month as an example of "deadly sins" and emphasized traditional gender roles.

The NFL clarified that Butker's views were his own and not representative of the league's values on inclusion.

Despite the controversy, Butker's speech has drawn support from individuals like Lou Holtz, who commended him for standing by his faith values.

While Pride Month falls outside the NFL season, the league engages in LGBTQ+ initiatives and events to promote inclusion.

The Kansas City Chiefs, like other NFL teams, offer Pride apparel and support Pride events in their community.

Overall, the NFL remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity.
