Full Transcript and Highlights of Most Controversial Comments
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - Amidst the excitement of Super Bowl LVII, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered a speech that has ignited widespread outrage. Butker's remarks, which were part of a personal address, have been condemned by the league and criticized by many as divisive.
According to the league's chief diversity and inclusion officer, Jonathan Beane, Butker spoke in his personal capacity. However, his presence as a member of the Super Bowl-winning team has amplified the impact of his speech.
During his address, Butker reportedly made disparaging remarks about LGBTQ rights, diversity initiatives, and President Joe Biden. These comments drew immediate condemnation from the Williams sisters, who joked at Butker's expense at the Super Bowl opening night.
