After Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker Quoted Taylor Swift In His Widely-Reviled Commencement Speech, Travis Kelce Responded

Travis and Jason Kelce reacted to Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker’s speech at Benedictine College earlier this month.

The speech was met with widespread backlash due to his dismissal of Pride month, discussion of women as “homemakers,” and his proclamation that abortion is the “murder of innocent babies.” At one point, he spoke to the “ladies” and said that he “would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.

At one point, Harrison even quoted Taylor Swift’s song “Bejewled” when speaking about “the relationship between a priest and his people,” stating, “Tragically, so many priests revolve much of their happiness from the adulation they receive from their parishioners, and in searching for this, they let their guard down and become overly familiar. This undue familiarity will prove to be problematic every time, because as my teammate’s girlfriend says, familiarity breeds contempt.
