American Values

The Intolerant Left

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is not shy about sharing his faith. He’s very outspoken about his pro-life, pro-family views, which stem from his strong Catholic beliefs.

 

That’s why he was asked to give the commencement address at a Catholic university, and his speech featured a very traditional Christian message. He also didn’t hesitate to give the radical left a few good kicks.

 

Butker talked about how God created men and women differently and how they have different roles in His creation. He was critical of Joe Biden, a professed Catholic, making the sign of the cross at a pro-abortion rally. 

 

Butker also reminded his audience that pride is a deadly sin, yet there is an entire month dedicated to celebrating “gay pride.”

 

In short, a Catholic speaker at a Catholic university gave a very Catholic speech, and everyone loved it. Everyone except the NFL.

 

The NFL’s chief diversity and inclusion officer issued a statement stressing that Butker was not representing the views of the NFL. Apparently, the NFL’s commitment to inclusion doesn’t include conservative Christians.

 

Nobody assumed Butker was speaking on behalf of the NFL. He wasn’t wearing his Chiefs uniform, and he wasn’t speaking at an NFL event. So, why was the NFL so anxious to disavow his views?

 

It’s very telling, and it shows how committed the left is. Once it captures an institution, like the NFL, that institution is made to hate the values of millions of Americans.

 

The NFL doesn’t care what you think about “Pride Night.” You’re one of those disgusting “deplorables,” and they’re going to ram it in your face no matter how much you’re offended by it. 

 

Remember Colin Kaepernick? He didn’t express his radical far-left views to just anti-American groups in his private time. He expressed his views on NFL playing fields in front of thousands of fans and millions of viewers at home.

 

The NFL never denounced Kaepernick for his anti-Americanism. No, he had a right to free speech. 

 

Every day, we are reminded of the double standards that we’re just supposed to tolerate in the intolerant left’s new America.
