The debate over whether a Catholic man can express his vehemently Catholic views in the United States continues to rage on.
Earlier in May, social media erupted when Harrison Butker – kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs – addressed graduates at Benedictine College – a liberal arts college in Atchinson, Kansas.
In praising the role of women in the household, Butker was labeled a sexist by enraged liberals across the nation. Likewise, his criticism of Pride Month sparked fury among LGBTQ+ activists.
Not everyone was outraged; despite condemnation from the NFL, Butker’s jersey became the most popular in the online store as thousands offered a show of support.
Nevertheless, his nationwide support has not been universal. One infuriated progressive, based in Washington D.C., opted to write an opinion column in which they called for the Chiefs to “make a statement by signing a woman to kick”.
“There are more than 300 players on the 14 teams in the National Women’s Soccer League,” the columnist wrote. “That’s more than 300 women who are professional ball kickers and don’t currently choose to be stay-at-home housewives.”
Naturally, the calls for dismissal did not go the way the writer intended.
He did, nevertheless, find some support.
What’s your opinion? Should Butker be fired for his comments, or is Woke extremism going further than ever?
Shutting down free speech has become the new norm, in the form of firing everyone who someone somewhere finds “offensive.” All factions are contributors to this crippling trend, but none more so than the political left.
Being “progressives,” they should first decide by what they mean in using the term “girl.” It’s possible, even likely, that, in their world, it would be reasonable for the bearded Butker to be replaced by a “girl” also with a beard.
In order for Marxism to succeed in its current attempt at taking over, it must kill both the traditional family and our belief in God. This is just another attempt by so-called “progressives” AKA Marxists, to do just that
