Harrison Butker mocked by NFL fans after Chiefs revealed they may protect controversial star from tackles next season
abortion advocates and more in an opinion-dividing speech.
Those views, coupled with the Chiefs’ insistence that they will take him out of the firing line, led many on social media to mock Butker.Imagine being so masculine your coach is openly saying he’s taking you off the field if there’s any chance you could find yourself coming into contact with another player,’ wrote one fan.
‘As Butker stated himself “be masculine, do things that are hard”. Let him tackle’, added a second.
A third wrote: ‘A real man would just make the tackle’.
Another commented: ‘Now he can spend more time doing what really makes him happy – raising a family.’
‘Maybe they could get a masculine man to take the spot of Butker?’ another comment read. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said the three-time Super Bowl winner is entitled to his beliefs, even though he doesn´t always agree with him.
Speaking about Butker on his ‘New Heights’ podcast, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said he cherishes Butker as a teammate.
Butker spoke Friday night at the Regina Caeli Academy Courage Under Fire Gala in Nashville, Tennessee.
