Jason Kelce addressed the backlash engulfing the Chiefs’ Harrison Butker on Friday following the kicker’s controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College this month.
During the latest installment of the “New Heights” podcast, the retired Eagles center offered his take on the controversy swirling around Butker, who has been condemned for perceived sexist and anti-LGBTQIA+ comments, revealing wife Kylie — with whom he shares three young daughters — was “a little bit frustrated” with the remarks.
“There’s always going to be opinions that everybody shares that you’re going to disagree with and make no mistake about it, a lot of the things he said in his commencement speech are not things that I align myself with,” Jason said.
“… And to me, I can listen to somebody talk and take great value in it, like when he’s talking about the importance of family, the importance of that a great mother can make, while also acknowledge that not everybody has to be a homemaker if that’s not what they want to do in life.
