In May 2024, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker delivered a commencement address at Benedictine College that sparked significant controversy. While conservatives applauded his remarks, the speech drew ire from liberal circles, igniting a debate that persists nearly a year later, even as the Super Bowl approaches.
As reported by the Daily Caller, Butker's speech took aim at then-President Joe Biden, Pride Month, and other contentious topics. However, the most contentious part of his address was his commentary on women, whom he praised as mothers, wives, and "homemakers." Butker stated, "I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you.

Homemaker."
