Fans rally to Harrison Butker
American Thinker ^ | 17 May, 2024 | Monica Showalter

The NFL probably didn't expect this one.

The NFL tried to cancel him.

The creeps running Kansas City tried to doxx him:

Taylor Swift fans were outraged.

Some of the wokester Catholic press tut-tutted and got all snide and nasty to him instead of defend him for defending the Catholic faith.

But Kansas City Chiefs Kicker and Superbowl champ's fans are rallying, too, in a great wave of counter-moves.

On social media, they demanded that his remarks not be taken out of context:

They pointed to the NFL's hypocritical double standard:

They put their money where their mouths were, and bought up his jersey to wear as a point of pride. Butker's jersey sales have soared, overtaking those of Chiefs' star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, according to the Daily Wire:

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s jersey sales have soared following a leftist meltdown over his commencement speech that some have labeled misogynistic, “discriminatory,” and more.

Butker’s #7 jersey has catapulted to one of the top selling jerseys on Fanatics NFL shop site, according to Kansas City CBS affiliate KCTV 5. On the NFL site, the placekicker’s jersey is listed as “Most Popular in Jerseys,” putting his sales higher than that of Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes.

“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.”

What was interesting was one of the best defense of traditional Catholic views came from Ben Shapiro, who is of course Jewish.

I’d take Harrison Butker over Colin Kaepernick, Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson any day.

HOW ABOUT TRUMP VP?????

He's not old enough. He's an advocate of "staying in his own lane" and his lane has Catholic, Father, Husband, Great NFL Kicker before politics.

The hatred and vitriol against the Catholic Faith and those who defend it is 50 on a scale of 1-10. In 2024, insane.

Recall Drew Brees. He lasted 1 day before backtracking.

How long before Harrison is forced into an apology tour?

I hope he stands tall.

J.K. Rowling still hasn’t caved.

Some do have backbone. Too many fold.

Adrian Peterson any day.

Why Adrian Peterson? What did he do to you? Was it the spanking his child with a belt?

Butker’s jersey sales have soared

Think the NFL cares? Just more profits with each jersey. The NFL thanks you.

He’s not running for office, he was speaking to a conservative Catholic college, as a conservative Catholic. People sure do like to get riled up about other peoples’ views of life.

My grandmother would make us pick out our own switches as she held one arm and beat us with the other.

It’s a Southern thing... or was.
