Jason Kelce responded to critics after being labeled ‘hypocritical’ in relation to Harrison Butker’s controversial speech

Jason Kelce has hit back at trolls on social media after being called ‘hypocritical’ for his opinion on Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech earlier this month.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker sparked major controversy when he told graduates at Benedictine College that women should prioritize being ‘homemakers’ instead of pursuing careers, while also taking aim at the LGBTQ+ community, abortion advocates and more in an opinion-dividing speech.

Jason, who has three young daughters with his wife Kylie, defended Butker and said he could ‘take great value in it when he is talking about the importance of family and the importance of a great mother’.

But the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles star also insisted parts of Butker’s speech ‘are not things that I align myself with’.

That has led to criticism from social media trolls, who accused Kelce of being ‘hypocritical’ and suggested his wife Kylie is ‘a homemaker’.

Kelce, who will work on ESPN next season, hit back on Monday morning and defended his relationship with his wife.

He posted on X: ‘Responding to this, because I have seen a number of people say it.

‘I don’t think of Kylie as a homemaker, I think of her as my wife. I think of her as a mother. She has an occupation, as do I, and we keep our house the best we can.
