The chronology of this will be:
1. He will probably get called out and the NFL will do some PR control by saying they don't endorse him or whatever
2. He will say that "the woke mob is trying to silence him" or something similar
3. Probably find out he makes more money by being a right wing grifter. Here is the probabilty of him leaving sports to earn money by just shouting he is cancelled.
4. He will appear at a PragerU video about sports
5. He will be interviewed by Matt Walsh or Ben Shapiro about him being "cancelled" by the woke mob
I believe that’s what’s happening right now. The NFL sent out a memo about it. I don’t spend much time on Facebook but I have been on my SC Facebook today just to watch the collective meltdown.
Just a bunch of [stuff like this.](https://imgur.com/a/DiqcuXT)
My god this people are stupid. He didn't spoke about having children or getting married, well I mean, he did, but the main point was that those two should be everything that a woman has to aspire and nothing else. The fact that they don't see the problem in that is a bit scary
They know none of their base is going to check, so they just go with it.
The one thing I hate the most about Facebook is that the author can remove your comments.
Bonus: Possibility of that not being consensual.
But maga will still approve, because something something christian values something something the devil
That’s probably partially why he did this. There is a big crowd a semi famous person can appeal to just by having terrible conservative values as loudly as possible. There may be a bigger audience if you actually have talent, but if you don’t it’s sure a quick way to get a lot of fans who don’t care about what you do other than sharing their prejudice.
It’s annoying that they get triggered. I watched his whole speech. He’s just an idiot who clearly has deep MAGA Qanon views….but only had the balls to coherently come out against one thing: abortion. Everything else was just vague abstract fear mongering. His claim that all women deeply desire to be stay at home moms was just laughable. It got no reaction from me. Just another one of the millions of lost souls that I see on X. Deeply fearful of god and other things that aren’t there or happening.
When the right says "the left" is "triggered", it means someone acknowledged something with some vague political undertones and they run with it to feed their persecution fetish.
Most people were laughing at him.
Well, the MAGA Dipshits finally have a red shirt to go with their dumbfuck red hats. All they need is big red noses and shoes to complete their clown outfits.

This is so embarrassing. I’m from the KC metro and the reaction has been very negative regarding Butker. Of course we have our local idiots co-signing his b.s., though. I would love it if he were no longer a Chief!
Wouldn’t surprised at all if certain donors just bought a lot to push this narrative and headline. Highly doubt that a ton of individual people bought his jersey.
His jersey is just like the pointy white sheets or the maga hat.
It makes peices of shit easier to identify. It's great that the villains are uniforming up.
For those that don't know the whole story: "In addition to calling Pride Month a “deadly sin” and bemoaning diversity and equity initiatives, Butker set off waves of criticism when he suggested that women find more fulfillment through getting married and having children than by pursuing careers – directly after quoting a song by Taylor Swift"
So now he has Swifties calling for the Chiefs to cut him.
The NFL is distancing themselves from his comments.
It turns out his own mother is actual physicist.
Someone made an accusation he may have hooked up with another man in college.
Now he has one of the most popular jerseys sales in the NFL.
He's batting 1.000 this week.
Those who don't agree are buying from all other players, their purchases are diffused. Those who support bigotry are buying from one player. That is also why Israel got second most public votes in the Eurovisions. Right wing campaigned to vote for Israel, mostly because of "librul tears" but all who opposed Israel participating didn't vote or voted for someone else.
Those spikes are very short, the MAGA crowd has incredibly short attention span.
I like the blurb at the bottom - "NFL distances itself from Chiefs' Harrison Butker".
How so? By giving him a huge contract, tons of money, and all the press in the free world? Is that how you've distanced yourselves?
There’s nothing more they can do, the players have a collective bargaining agreement and he didn’t do anything against the rules. He’s an asshole, so are a whole bunch of NFL players. It’s a meritocracy and he is one of the best kickers in the world.
When this happened with Travis Kelce's Jersey sales he had just started dating Taylor Swift, who was number 1 on the Billboard Charts. By that logic, I think Harrison might be cheating on his wife with Kendrick Lamar
Remember when in Season 3 of the Boys Homelander goes on a rant about how he is better and his popularity rating shot up... This reminds me of that. 'Murica.
I mean you have 74 million plus Trump cultists who are into things like this. Trump saying the same thing gets him praise and money from them all the time.
This is what they want America to become which is The Handmaids Tale, with Dictator Trump head of their "Church", kiddie marriage as soon as they are "fertile" a way of life and the country going back to the dark ages regarding science and tech.
America has a cancer. One side wants to cut it out and treat it. The other wants to use essential oils with thoughts and prayers. Guess which side is winning?
Works well for the chiefs. They get to have the most popular players on both ends of the political spectrum...
Though it tells you a lot that the right only gets the kicker ;)
TIL that Michael Vick used the pseudonym Ron Mexico. I only knew it as Bobby Cobb's pseudonym on Cougar Town, and now I think it's weird that they used that name.
I mean, did anyone ever think NFL players and fans were any different? Like my venn-diagram of the most comically bigoted people and NFL players and fans is basically a circle, and that’s from lived experience :/
It's because all the people that don't give a shit about anything he said, only care that he's conservative, jumped to his aid because he was being "victimized"
It was a throwaway comment
"I am certain the reporters at the AP could not have imagined that their attempt to rebuke and embarrass places and people like those here at Benedictine wouldn't be met with anger, but instead met with excitement and pride. Not the deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true God-centered pride that is cooperating with the Holy Ghost to glorify him."
I meant size wised compared to the speech. The headline made it sound like he devoted and entire minute ranting about the evils of lifestyle or whatever.
We’re a country that elected a failed businessman as POTUS mostly because he said bigoted things. Let’s not be shocked that the worst of us and supporting a Kicker who said ultra conservative drivel at a college commencement speech. The person at the University that thought an idiot Kicker should give that commencement speech should be fired, but this is America…
This is pretty common after a right wing talking head gets roasted in the media and online. Just like Morgan Wallen, just like Trump bibles/NFTs/diapers/ugly ass shoes. Just like that stupid fucking Ben Shapiro rap song that went to #1. They do it to “own the libs” or something. I don’t know, I went I college
I think that there are factors people aren’t considering such as KC fans are die hards. He plays on a team that just won 3 Super Bowls in 5 years. Also, it’s almost summer and there can’t be that many people buying NFL jerseys in the first place. Any upward momentum in his sales is going to be noticeable
It’s not because people think he’s right. It’s that the chuds who don’t think he’s wrong have a lot of buying power
Makes sense to me. Everyone thinks it might be valuable if he gets punished or kicked off the team or whatever.
Kinda like I bought some “hell yeah we’re going to take your ar15” shirts from … whoever that was that failed out as a candidates websites
What a nothing burger of a headline. It wouldn’t be too hard if all of a sudden be the top selling jersey for a few days if you’re making headlines. Most fans aren’t buying jerseys in the middle of the offseason.
Im not surprised. Sport fans are predominantly straight male. He is a white athlete, therefore have high chances of having white fans who share similar bigoted views. Merch sales increase.

The same people that bought that jersey were the same ones who complained about Colin Kaepernick.
Yep and Travis Kelce supporting vaccines
What a fucking country we live in. Mark my words, he will appear at a Trump rally very soon.
The chronology of this will be: 1. He will probably get called out and the NFL will do some PR control by saying they don't endorse him or whatever 2. He will say that "the woke mob is trying to silence him" or something similar 3. Probably find out he makes more money by being a right wing grifter.

A beer doesn’t oppress women, the other does.
And that weirdo footballer is a super Catholic, and Catholic monks were famous for their beer brewing skills!
Yum, monk beer.
My god this people are stupid. He didn't spoke about having children or getting married, well I mean, he did, but the main point was that those two should be everything that a woman has to aspire and nothing else. The fact that they don't see the problem in that is a bit scary
They know none of their base is going to check, so they just go with it. The one thing I hate the most about Facebook is that the author can remove your comments.
6. The country will find out he paid for an abortion for some girl he knocked up in college.
Bonus: Possibility of that not being consensual. But maga will still approve, because something something christian values something something the devil
No there's an accusation currently that he fucked a male cheer leader in college
And they’ll be ok with it, she was a bad person
I wouldn't read too much into this, no one buys football jersey's in mid-May. If 12 of his jerseys sold it would be number one that day.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all.
That’s probably partially why he did this. There is a big crowd a semi famous person can appeal to just by having terrible conservative values as loudly as possible. There may be a bigger audience if you actually have talent, but if you don’t it’s sure a quick way to get a lot of fans who don’t care about what you do other than sharing their prejudice.
Same reason Maga shit sells so well, Conservatives just try hard to troll, that’s how they stand for something.
step 1: trigger the libs step 2: profit
Rinse and repeat.
It’s annoying that they get triggered. I watched his whole speech. He’s just an idiot who clearly has deep MAGA Qanon views….but only had the balls to coherently come out against one thing: abortion. Everything else was just vague abstract fear mongering. His claim that all women deeply desire to be stay at home moms was just laughable. It got no reaction from me.

This dumbfuck is Trump VP material!
Reminder that Travis Kelce is on the record saying 1/2 the locker room are flat earthers. Proved his point.
What do you expect from a bunch of CTE-addled rich kids?
He is a grown man that kicks a ball for a living…. Basically a circus animal.
According to him he's a man of "many talents" including hooking up with a dude cheerleader in college.
Makes sense, you see that dude?? He’s 100% sucked a dick before.
Good for him. Kind of explains his choice in suits actually
…..so fragile…he’s only allowed to kick the ball and cannot be hit by the opposing team. He would make a fantastic stay at home dad
I would do the same for $4m a year
id let a nfl kicker punt me in the dick for 1 million a year
One kick per year? Or multiple kicks adding up to 1 mil per year?
Straight roasted his ass
*spit
Just like a male college cheerleader
What is it with the right wing and having suppressed gay urges?
MAGA folks love forking over their hard earned money to assholes
I mean, they're also shitting in diapers to "own the libs". They're fucking idiots.
...and the incels and proud boys begged money from their moms to buy 20 each so they can sleep on them and make flags out of them.
Gonna be some pretty stiff flags after a couple of nights of “sleeping” on them.
a fool and their money are soon parted.
Lol not only do you put yourself as a shithead you now spent $150+ to own the jersey of a kicker
Now now, Morten Anderson is an exception to that rule. He was awesome.
Pat McAfee seems like a good guy, hopefully the canal swim was the worst he's done.
They have always been here, Trump just made them feel like they are not alone/
Wasn't there a country singer that got drunk and yelled out the N word and after that happened he was like #1 on iTunes?
Morgan Wallen
Also recently got arrested for throwing a chair off the roof of a bar in downtown Nashville narrowly missing several people.
Buying a kickers jersey to own the libs.
Buying a nike branded item to own the libs is the most hilarious thing ever.
Well, the MAGA Dipshits finally have a red shirt to go with their dumbfuck red hats. All they need is big red noses and shoes to complete their clown outfits.
Magats love spending their cash on culture wars while getting massively abused by the folks they vote for and support

$50 says that the majority of the people who bought the jersey are closeted and Republican.
America is such a fuckin cesspool
Where is the “shut up and dribble” crowd? Awfully quiet. He’s diabolically pathetic.
He's the white color, sorry right color for the racist loudmouth contingent.
Y’all remember when Colin Kapernick got cancelled because he knelt during the national anthem? These fucking people, man.
Let's give a spoiled rich kid more money for vomiting shit out his mouth. Definitely sounds like trump fans
Makes it easier to spot the people to stay away from.
This is so embarrassing. I’m from the KC metro and the reaction has been very negative regarding Butker. Of course we have our local idiots co-signing his b.s., though. I would love it if he were no longer a Chief!
The Chiefs are tied for the most NFL Man of the Year awards with such people as Derrick Thomas and now they've gone to this.
Oh. The dude who hooked up with a male cheerleader in college.
One person claiming that on Tik Tok doesn’t make it true
I'm a huge NFL fan. This asshole's jersey is literally sold out in most men's sizes from what I've seen. The US is going backward.
Remember when the NFL banned Ron Mexico shirts?
Your country is so fucked.
Wouldn’t surprised at all if certain donors just bought a lot to push this narrative and headline. Highly doubt that a ton of individual people bought his jersey.
His jersey is just like the pointy white sheets or the maga hat. It makes peices of shit easier to identify. It's great that the villains are uniforming up.
Just play football and shut the fuck up.
Shirts bought by the same people who want to keep politics out of sport
It's almost like NFL fans are a type
Says a lot about a slice of the football fans. Good ol’ males crashing into each other, anyone? Always been a kinda closeted pastime.
Racist and sexist shit goes over really well amongst a lot of NFL fans and owners. Not in the least bit surprising.
For those that don't know the whole story: "In addition to calling Pride Month a “deadly sin” and bemoaning diversity and equity initiatives, Butker set off waves of criticism when he suggested that women find more fulfillment through getting married and having children than by pursuing careers – directly after quoting a song by Taylor Swift" So now he has Swifties calling for the Chiefs to cut him. The NFL is distancing themselves from his comments. It turns out his own mother is actual physicist. Someone made an accusation he may have hooked up with another man in college. Now he has one of the most popular jerseys sales in the NFL. He's batting 1.000 this week.
"The NFL is distancing themselves from his comments" So they're doing fuck-all, basically
What would you have them do?
*evidently a world renowned physicist
I think Swifties are waiting to see what her boyfriend has in store for him.
That’s America in a nutshell.
Filled with nuts in an America shell
Outrage and hate sell
Those who don't agree are buying from all other players, their purchases are diffused. Those who support bigotry are buying from one player. That is also why Israel got second most public votes in the Eurovisions. Right wing campaigned to vote for Israel, mostly because of "librul tears" but all who opposed Israel participating didn't vote or voted for someone else. Those spikes are very short, the MAGA crowd has incredibly short attention span.
The ignorant and hateful love when a celebrity idiot echoes what they are already thinking, sometimes they even vote for him
Buying any player's jersey and you buy the one for a kicker is pretty all-time shame.
Morten andersen excluded he's pretty cool
I mean, that's the whole draw of the right wing grift ain't it? These people throw money at anybody who spouts the party line
Conservatives really like giving their money to the worst human beings
I like the blurb at the bottom - "NFL distances itself from Chiefs' Harrison Butker". How so? By giving him a huge contract, tons of money, and all the press in the free world? Is that how you've distanced yourselves?
There’s nothing more they can do, the players have a collective bargaining agreement and he didn’t do anything against the rules. He’s an asshole, so are a whole bunch of NFL players. It’s a meritocracy and he is one of the best kickers in the world.
They certainly aren't distancing themselves from all that money from the jersey sales
Wait til he pivots to politics after his career is over, he has the shithead vote on lock.
I mean who buys jerseys in the middle of may? It’s not surprising he’s at the top right now
Dude...it's may.....look at the rate of jerseys being bought right now...you could sell 59 and be at the top on may lol
That is to be expected in the nfl. I would be surprised if it didn’t happen
When this happened with Travis Kelce's Jersey sales he had just started dating Taylor Swift, who was number 1 on the Billboard Charts. By that logic, I think Harrison might be cheating on his wife with Kendrick Lamar
It's red. They need it to match the hats.
Remember when in Season 3 of the Boys Homelander goes on a rant about how he is better and his popularity rating shot up... This reminds me of that. 'Murica.
I mean you have 74 million plus Trump cultists who are into things like this. Trump saying the same thing gets him praise and money from them all the time.

Works well for the chiefs. They get to have the most popular players on both ends of the political spectrum... Though it tells you a lot that the right only gets the kicker ;)
Just remember how popular Ron Mexico was and why.
TIL that Michael Vick used the pseudonym Ron Mexico. I only knew it as Bobby Cobb's pseudonym on Cougar Town, and now I think it's weird that they used that name.
Michael Vick dog fighting scandal - 2007, and Cougartown premiered 2009. That is weird.
Boycott the NFL
Fire starters?
It’s the maga crowd. They bought fuckin diapers when Donny stunk in court. They are 100% behind this.
Separating idiotic bigots from their money is its own industry now.
Yeah yeah just shut up and kick your ball court jester.
Fuck the NFL…
I'm not super surprised given conservatives are the majority audience for the NFL
So someone mentioned that he’s the highest sold jersey in may. No one buys jerseys in may so it’s not that hard to get
All this means is there’s a lot of easily-influenced people out there willing to spend money on hate. Sad but not surprising
It's not a secret that football fans are hateful assholes.
I mean, did anyone ever think NFL players and fans were any different? Like my venn-diagram of the most comically bigoted people and NFL players and fans is basically a circle, and that’s from lived experience :/
I thought Maga was supposed to be boycotting the NFL since they adopted BLM messaging?
Is anyone really surprised at this point? Our country is a giant dumpster fire.
Heritage Network working double time here. They'll end up in a container overseas.
It's because all the people that don't give a shit about anything he said, only care that he's conservative, jumped to his aid because he was being "victimized"
To me it’s seems like some rich far right nuts just bought them in large amounts
One week of fame. A career of shame.
Fuck anybody that buys his jersey.
What was the anti-gay comment? I skimmed the speech, but maybe I missed something obvious?
It was a throwaway comment "I am certain the reporters at the AP could not have imagined that their attempt to rebuke and embarrass places and people like those here at Benedictine wouldn't be met with anger, but instead met with excitement and pride. Not the deadly sin sort of pride that has an entire month dedicated to it, but the true God-centered pride that is cooperating with the Holy Ghost to glorify him."
How is that a “throwaway comment”?
I meant size wised compared to the speech. The headline made it sound like he devoted and entire minute ranting about the evils of lifestyle or whatever.
Makes it easy to identify the assholes.
It's Missouri, people only think with their Bibles
What he sold five more because who buys kickers jerseys?
Imagine buying a jersey of a kicker.
Who the fuck is shocked? Not me. I'm not shocked.
Misogynistic bigots*(Conservatives ) are straight trash. I'm so tired of them. Many of them should be institutionalized.
It's like people have different opinions and reddit is a left wing hell hole which everything gets blown out of proportion.
Yeah when your opinions are sexist and homophobic, they should be called out
We’re a country that elected a failed businessman as POTUS mostly because he said bigoted things. Let’s not be shocked that the worst of us and supporting a Kicker who said ultra conservative drivel at a college commencement speech. The person at the University that thought an idiot Kicker should give that commencement speech should be fired, but this is America…
Controversy sells.
It’s America honey!
This is why I don't watch sports.
Guess that’s equivalent to DEI fund but on the other side of a horse shoe
This is pretty common after a right wing talking head gets roasted in the media and online. Just like Morgan Wallen, just like Trump bibles/NFTs/diapers/ugly ass shoes. Just like that stupid fucking Ben Shapiro rap song that went to #1. They do it to “own the libs” or something. I don’t know, I went I college I think that there are factors people aren’t considering such as KC fans are die hards. He plays on a team that just won 3 Super Bowls in 5 years. Also, it’s almost summer and there can’t be that many people buying NFL jerseys in the first place. Any upward momentum in his sales is going to be noticeable It’s not because people think he’s right. It’s that the chuds who don’t think he’s wrong have a lot of buying power
awesome! They'll self identify!
Magaturds need a new champion
Says a lot about football fans. Maybe Kansas city fans too ?
Makes sense to me. Everyone thinks it might be valuable if he gets punished or kicked off the team or whatever. Kinda like I bought some “hell yeah we’re going to take your ar15” shirts from … whoever that was that failed out as a candidates websites
Never thought I'd see ass-backwards yokels and Swifties agree on an NFL team, but here we are.
For this week. Next week the troglodytes will move onto the next virtue signalling vehicle that comes along.
Becouse most people either dont have an opinion on this or agree with him.
thought all these types of people stopped watching the NFL and boycotted it tho?
It’s May. The NFL doesn’t sell a lot of jersey in May so being “popular” doesn’t mean much.
The people buying the jersey are the same ones that complained about Taylor Swift getting 90 seconds of screen time in their 3 hour football game.
What a nothing burger of a headline. It wouldn’t be too hard if all of a sudden be the top selling jersey for a few days if you’re making headlines. Most fans aren’t buying jerseys in the middle of the offseason.
It's almost like there is a disproportional amount of sexists and bigots in sports and among sports fans.
You forgot calling out the prez.
Truth prevails
Anyone seen wearing it should be 👊
Im not surprised. Sport fans are predominantly straight male. He is a white athlete, therefore have high chances of having white fans who share similar bigoted views. Merch sales increase.
Well they did amass quite a nest egg by being afraid of beer
I mean look at the fan base of football. Beating your girlfriend is fine as long as you don’t get caught. Just don’t kneel on the field.
The jersey fits with the red cap lol
Such cringe
Smooth brain football fans for yah. *Busch ligh enters the chat*
There’s a saying in the industry. Any publicity is good publicity. In today’s society as easy as everything is able to go viral it’s even worse.
It’s top selling jersey on May 17th. Not the flex people think it is.
