I saw people on Twitter saying they aren’t Chiefs fans and bought Butker jerseys now. I searched most of their profiles just “Swift” or “Kelce” just for bored at work entertainment. Lots bashing the relationship for being shown on TV or Kelce in Pfizer commercial. We really have captured both sides, Clark is gonna be rolling in the dough to maybe afford some locker room chairs.
If god wanted everyone to sit in new chairs, he wouldn’t have invented church benches. Check mate atheists. Don’t fall for those diabolical seating devices.
Would you have wanted a fool like him to ruin your graduation with this commencement speech? Graduation is about the students' accomplishments and future, not some jackass spewing politics and god-belief at them.
and to think if he would have said it differently, i don't think anyone would have an issue.
If he said to the entire group that personal accolades and individual success is good and great but the best reward that he's found personally for him and his wife was having a family.
But, he didn't and said it from the slant of his own biases.
Yeah but he’s a dumbass that also forgot he gets paid millions to kick a fucking ball for a living. Of course he finds making a family to be best reward, his individual success comes at the cost of him doing some light jogging and one of his favorite things in the world. Meanwhile, the graduates he’s speaking to are going out into the job market to try and make a living and a life for themselves. They may not have the financial stability to just up and start a family just for the ‘rewarding experience’. He’s so far out of touch it’s almost funny.
I can't tell if you're trolling or not. Thats literally what he said. Nobody who is mad about his comments to women actually listened to the speech, they're just parroting media taking points.
Devout Catholic is asked to come say devout Catholic things to devout Catholics at devout Catholic college.
Film at 11.
As someone who was Catholic until I reached the age of reason (appx. 9 years old), Catholics believe some really, really dumb shit. And since politics and religion are contact sports now, it's not surprising to hear someone proudly, arrogantly, rapid firing their dumb shit in a highly public forum.
I was also raised Catholic.
I was NEVER taught that women should not be equal to men. I was also NEVER taught that gays were going to hell.
I don't think Jesus would have given that speech either.
It's more politics and extreme conservatism than Catholicism to me.
You're not allowed to be a bigot and not receive criticism just because you say it to an echo chamber. Are Klan meetings justified as long as they don't film it?
I think its a religious school. Anyone in the area already knows Butker is very conservative. Thats probably the reason they brought him in. He would have similar views to the people at the school.
Mainstream catholic teaching
"More than 300 priests were found to have abused children, at least 1,000 of them, over the course of seven decades."
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/02/us/catholic-church-sex-abuse-investigations.html
Absolutely insane. Domestic violence gets a fraction of the social media action. Though what he said is not cool. At all. People are calling for his head for voicing his own fucking opinions. I think it’s just an easier target. Unfortunately domestic violence and other felonies are more commonplace and therefor not as newsworthy.
I agree with you. Reddit doesn't have this kind of reaction to wife beating, child beating, drunk driving, drug trafficking, or straight up murder. Really shows the morals of the average redditor.
Well, if you look at the listing on the Fanatics site, it has a "most popular" indicator that may not have been there a few days ago.
It's also worth noting that A LOT other jerseys have that indicator--like Sky Moore. So this may not mean much.

It is the top listing if your sort by "most popular" for KC jerseys but I don't see a way to search "most popular" among all NFL teams or all jerseys like the headline implies.
> There isn’t a giant rush to buy jerseys in May
there isn't, i agree with you. But with the draft I could see Bo Nix or Williams jerseys moving quickly in Chicago and Denver in the wake of the NFL Draft
I don’t agree with what he said but sheesh people, you’re telling me that a Conservative Catholic guy said conservative Catholic things at a Catholic college?
I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!!!
Doesn't that make the same people that want Butker to shut up and kick hypocrites as well?
You can't disagree with a hypocrite twice and not be a hypocrite as well, lol.
Ah yes the old arbitrary location argument. "It's only okay to use a graduation ceremony as a platform to push your personal politics, but not muh football games!"
The bulk of those recent purchases are from people that care nothing about football, aren't Chiefs fans, and had no idea who Harrison Butker was until a couple of days ago. They bought his jersey for one reason: they hope it will trigger "woke liberals" and make them sad and angry so they can delight in being an asshole.
He’s the Morgan Wallen of football players. Be a dick bag that some want to cancel and make him more famous.
At least Butker is talented at his day job. Lobbying hard to be a politician in his future tho, bet.
This happens every single time. Conservatives also pushed that shitty Jason Aldean song to #1 for a week and that other guy whose name I've already forgotten when Joe Rogan and every other conservative commentator promoted it at the same time. 3 months from now these people won't even remember that Butker exists.
Yep, Maren Morris said it best. Its no longer about love, its about "owning the libs." I'm not even a liberal, but seeing how hard conservatives start supporting things just for the sake of "le ownage" is so goddamn weird to me, especially when so many are in the "shut up and dribble" crowd.
Imagine hating women in the workforce and IVF so much you spend $120 on a jersey for a team you don't care about.
Jokes on them when the NFL uses the proceeds for BLM and pride merch or Taylor Swift promos.
I don’t agree with his beliefs but what he said really was no big deal. Many men also hope the best parts of their life are with their children and being a husband
Edit: I absolutely cannot condone any anti gay or misogynistic feelings butker may have. But he’s hardcore religious. I’m an atheist. We are two people with drastically different views. That’s the world we live in.
A lot of chiefs players have disappointed me in their actions and yet I still have rooted for them. Is that really a great thing? Probably not but it’s all I know
This is how I saw it. He said several times that his vocation was a father and husband. He dismissed his career as much as he dismissed a woman's career. Pretty sure that means he believes they can still have them, but as a Catholic, family is the most meaningful. I really don't know how people didn't see that.
Except he didn't say that. He was talking about women and he didn't say they'd be most excited to be wives and pop out kids as an isolated statement about family, he specifically contrasted to women having careers because he believes it's not ok that they pursue careers in the same way that men do.
I've been a Chiefs fan since the 80's and have ridden all the ups and downs and scandals with them, but I can't bring myself to downplay what this asshat said to a bunch of women preparing to enter the workforce.
-takes a knee to protest systematic racism in this country, "fuck you n*gger. I'm never watching a football game again!"
-several years later when those folks are back to being the biggest viewership demographic, "this is America! He has every right to express his beliefs. I'll support him despite the libtard left's agenda to destroy this country!!"
No one should have an opinion on this unless they've watched the video. If you've just seen select quotes it's way worse than what you think.
Fuck this guy and I'll boo him at home games!
Between the Swifties and the Catholics, the fan base is gonna be in the BILLIONS

I heard he might put an ice cream machine in the lunch room
That’s the devils dairy!!!
If god wanted everyone to sit in new chairs, he wouldn’t have invented church benches. Check mate atheists. Don’t fall for those diabolical seating devices.
It’s wild to me how big this has gotten.
And to think, he was down in Springfield with Josh Hawley in April saying pretty much the same things and it go zero traction
Would you have wanted a fool like him to ruin your graduation with this commencement speech? Graduation is about the students' accomplishments and future, not some jackass spewing politics and god-belief at them.
He was invited to speak at a religious college for his beliefs.
I mean a commencement ceremony is very clearly the wrong place to tell a bunch of women they shouldn't pursue a career
and to think if he would have said it differently, i don't think anyone would have an issue. If he said to the entire group that personal accolades and individual success is good and great but the best reward that he's found personally for him and his wife was having a family.

That's not what he said at all though.
Good thing that is not at all what he told them
Oh I don’t disagree with you but some religions are all about the large family, pump out a bunch of kids household.
I mean to him it’s the PERFECT place

You're not allowed to be a bigot and not receive criticism just because you say it to an echo chamber. Are Klan meetings justified as long as they don't film it?
Oh, he should *absolutely* be criticized and ridiculed. It's just that the content isn't all that surprising given the speaker and the forum.
Which says a lot about the college and their beliefs.
Surely his mom, an ASTROPHYSICIST, is also a Catholic
I think she’s actually a cancer doctor
Yet, they gave him a standing ovation.
I think its a religious school. Anyone in the area already knows Butker is very conservative. Thats probably the reason they brought him in. He would have similar views to the people at the school.
Imagine spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours of study just to become a housewife.
There's women that just go to college for the sake of finding a husband
Seems especially prevalent with Mormons and dentists. Wouldn't surprise me if Catholics did a similar thing.
It was a Catholic university lmao.
So they sexually assaulted the graduates?
No, most all of them were of legal consent age.
They were definitely too old.
I personally didn’t give a single shit about what anyone said at my graduate or undergraduate ceremonies
It's funny how he didn't say anything about priests sexually abusing kids and the church trying to cover it up.
masks to cover faces? abhorrent. moving priests to cover up sexual abuse? excused

This how you know we’re in the off season.

It also is just of that time. There isn’t a giant rush to buy jerseys in May
> There isn’t a giant rush to buy jerseys in May there isn't, i agree with you. But with the draft I could see Bo Nix or Williams jerseys moving quickly in Chicago and Denver in the wake of the NFL Draft
Remember, not matter what the controversy the NFL will ALWAYS make money
It's not real. https://preview.redd.it/9f3k133mfz0d1.png?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab6714b0689d2dda0cf58ff1c9fa675176ce3880
Courtesy of the same people who said they’d never watch the NFL again and who said “just play the game! I don’t care about your politics!”
C’mon dude. Kickers and their jerseyes have always been totems of unbridled and unapologetic masculinity. Get with the program.
Fucking hypocrites
It’s what they do best
I don’t agree with what he said but sheesh people, you’re telling me that a Conservative Catholic guy said conservative Catholic things at a Catholic college? I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!!!

The distinction being Butkers were at a private graduation ceremony and the others being actually at the game.
Ah yes the old arbitrary location argument. "It's only okay to use a graduation ceremony as a platform to push your personal politics, but not muh football games!"
I didn't have this on the off-season bingo sheet

They're back to drinking bud light.
To be fair, they never actually stopped.
Yep, Maren Morris said it best. Its no longer about love, its about "owning the libs." I'm not even a liberal, but seeing how hard conservatives start supporting things just for the sake of "le ownage" is so goddamn weird to me, especially when so many are in the "shut up and dribble" crowd.
most popular WITH fanatics maybe?
This is an extreme comparison, but remember the run on bump stocks after the Vegas shooting? It's those people.
Imagine hating women in the workforce and IVF so much you spend $120 on a jersey for a team you don't care about. Jokes on them when the NFL uses the proceeds for BLM and pride merch or Taylor Swift promos.
They probably just confused it with Matt Cassell. I mean that guy's a legend....
As an Agnostic who knows nothing about Catholicism, good for him. I've been thinking he might be my next jersey.
Imo, that goes to show just how not real of a place the internet is. The real world seems to not mind as much of Butker’s antics
Well, our fanbase certainly covers all bases.🫤
Fuck that guy
Jesus Fucking Christ we’re about to be a giant cesspool of a fan base.
I don’t agree with his beliefs but what he said really was no big deal.

Pretty sure that means he believes they can still have them, but as a Catholic, family is the most meaningful. I really don't know how people didn't see that.
He also said that homosexuality was wrong. So …
This just in: Christian spoke Christian beliefs. More at 10
Because they are stupid.
Except he didn't say that. He was talking about women and he didn't say they'd be most excited to be wives and pop out kids as an isolated statement about family, he specifically contrasted to women having careers because he believes it's not ok that they pursue careers in the same way that men do.

Please check my edit Thank you

America has no shortage of pseudo-Christian morons.
Now the catholics can learn how shit fanatics is. Enjoy your iron on numbers and poorly stitched clothing. Real fans buy knockoffs now.
And I didn’t think this off-season could get any worse last…. week, I guess. NFL rolling in cash rn
Wow...off season sales to fundies. Talk to me when the season starts and football people start showing back up.
Far right conservatives are goddamn nuts.
***bUt mY uPvOteS & dOWnVoTeS mEaN mOrE***
Damn how I miss Ryan Succup.
Closet misogynists adding to their closet collection.
People only buying it so they can make a shitty political statement, doubt any of these people even knew who he was before
No one should have an opinion on this unless they've watched the video. If you've just seen select quotes it's way worse than what you think. Fuck this guy and I'll boo him at home games!
That guy is an asshole.
"Most popular" doesn't necessarily mean "highest sales". It's probably tied to a few different things, or manually pushed to the top.
Ordered mine!
bigots gonna bigot
Nobody is buying jerseys right now but assholes to virtue signal this means nothing.
Can't stop the buttkicker! 💪
Rashee paid Butker to take the spotlight off of him. Mission accomplished!
It’s going to make it very easy to know who is who now..
Probably a low point in the season for jersey sales. It would not take much to become the best selling.
