Travis Kelce is weighing in on his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech from earlier this month.
In his May 11 address to graduates at Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal arts college in Atchison, Kansas, Butker touched on issues including birth control, abortion and describing Pride Month as a „deadly sin.“ Perhaps the most headline-grabbing was him telling the female graduates in attendance they’d been told „the most diabolical lies“ about putting their career above their roles as mothers and wives and „homemaker.“
Kelce, in the May 24 episode of his „New Heights“ podcast, said he „cherish [ ed ] “ Butker — whom he said he called Harry — as a teammate and, despite not agreeing with his opinions, said the Chiefs kicker has every right to have them.
„He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness, and that’s how he treats everyone,“ the tight end said.
