What Did Harrison Butker Say In Speech? Read Full Transcript - "For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker. She's the primary educator to our children. She is the one who ensures I never let football or my business become a distraction from that of a husband and father. She is the person that knows me best at my core, and it is through our marriage that, Lord willing, we will both attain salvation. I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God’s will in their life. Isabelle’s dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud, without hesitation, and say, 'Heck, no.'"
The left hates Christianity, so it's no wonder they were so upset
The amount of misrepresentation is unsurprising, given that the left loves to loudly misunderstand things.

Meme - "How come the right isn't posting "shut up and kick" for this guy? I seem to remember LeBron James, Colin Kaepernick and Serena Williams being told to shut up and stick to their sport. I wonder what that difference could be?"
Left wingers really think that hijacking a work event to protest is the same as making a speech you were asked to do on your own time in a Catholic venue espousing Catholic values. Of course, all the left wingers bashing Butker were supporting Kaepernick and the other players pushing the left wing agenda but of course that's not hypocrisy
Meme - "Unmarried alcoholic girlbosses when a Catholic athlete speaks to Catholic students at a Catholic school about Catholic values: *Midsommar scene*"
Meme - Butker: "IT'S OK TO PRIORITIZE FAMILY OVER CAREER"
Left winger screaming: "LITERALLY HANDMAIDS TALE!"
Left wingers hate women who stay at home, so
Meme - True Discipline @TruueDiscipline: "Based on the reporting on this speech you would think he told women to get back in the kitchen he seemed to just affirm the decision that women seem to mostly make when when they have the ability to:"
"Super rich couples remain super traditional. The majority of the very richest American heterosexual couples have kept the traditional mix of male breadwinner and stay-at-home female partner, even as most others are increasingly becoming two-earner households. The lines refer to the share of couples in each group in which a man works and a woman is not employed."
Meme - "Harrison Butker's women's jerseys have sold out across multiple major sites. Butker's jersey also became the highest jersey in the league after his controversial speech. REPORT"
Chiefs' Harrison Butker Sends Message on Graduation Speech - "Chiefs head coach Andy Reid backed Butker. “I don’t think he was speaking ill toward women, he has his opinions. We all respect that. I let you guys in this room and you have a lot of opinions that I don’t like,” Reid said."
You're only allowed to have an opinion if it's a left wing one
Meme - Normal person: "FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE"
Female soyjak: "THAT'S LITERALLY HANDMAIDEN'S TALE!"
Meme - Butker as Jordan Peterson: "Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker. [Applause Lasting 18 Seconds]
Cathy Newman: "SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT WOMEN WITH DEGREES ARE ONLY USEFUL AS BABY FACTORIES."
Butker: *annoyed*
The left wing always has terrible comprehension skills. Partly because the media selectively quote to fan outrage
As a Former Working Mom, Here’s Why Harrison Butker's Speech Doesn't Offend Me - "As a mother myself, while I don’t agree with everything Butker espoused (for one, I’m not Catholic like Butker), I found his sentiments concerning motherhood praiseworthy and brave, albeit perhaps hindered by some clumsy word choice... As a mother who has worked outside the home—in national intelligence, actually—I know the validation that can be found in a career, especially one devoted to public service. But having had two children while working outside the home, I also know the great joy, beautiful difficulty, and life-altering fulfillment that comes with motherhood. I had my first son earlier in life than planned, and surprise though he was, he brought into my life a love and a purpose greater than anything my exciting career came close to offering. Even though my first baby wasn’t planned and even though I loved the fast-paced job that I had, becoming a mother irrevocably changed my life for the better, provided fulfillment deeper than that of my career, and inspired me to be a better version of myself in my pursuits both in and outside of the home. I’m lucky to know other incredible mothers who are business owners, entrepreneurs, teachers, in the process of getting degrees, and those who identify as traditional homemakers—all of whom would echo this sentiment. I don’t doubt that all of them would affirm that their children are the most life-changing and wonderful parts of their lives, no matter how passionate each of these women are about a career or educational pursuit... regardless of a mother’s approach to homemaking (which is highly subjective depending on the mother and current phase of her life), motherhood is fulfilling in a way that little else this side of heaven is. And this fulfilling nature of motherhood came through in Butker’s remarks in praise of his wife (comments which mothers in various walks of life can agree are certainly worth applauding). This brings me to the fact that while some expressed disdain at Butker’s comments about motherhood and homemaking directed at newly minted college graduates, I found it a fitting inclusion in a commencement speech. After all, being a mother encompasses overseeing the needs of children, a principal one of which is education. There is no reason that high-achieving college graduates should not hope to use their education in the pursuit of homemaking. In fact, by praising motherhood and homemaking to women who had just undertaken higher education, I believe that Butker was rightly elevating motherhood by categorizing it as a true and serious vocation. And so, as a mother, I agree with the sentiment behind Butker’s comments and laud him for being brave enough to broach the topic of motherhood in a commencement speech."
Meme - Brian Moote @MootePoints: "The best part about Harrison Butker being a misogynist psycho is that a lot of dudes can head hunt his stupid kicker ass for a 15yd penalty next season and get a lifetime of credit with the women in their lives"
wanye @wanyeburkett: "You don't have to say something about everything, but if I were this guy I would reflect on the fact that this is what compelled me to fantasize about on-field revenge and not any of the dramatically more heinous things NFL players have done over the years, including literal violence against women"
Meme - "NFL PLAYERS DOING THE MOST HEINOUS ACTS IMAGINABLE *i sleep*
A Catholic NFL Player talking about Catholic values to Catholic students at a Catholic University *real shit*"
Ironically, those who keep claiming racism is why Butker isn't condemned by non-left wingers are the racist ones
Meme - Hot Takes Nobody Asked For: "colin kaepernick opted out of his contract with the san francisco 49ers in march 2017. some teams might have been hesitant to sign kaepernick due to his playing style, which is more suited to a specific offensive scheme. and his controversial protesting was done during nfl events. butker's speech was not during an nfl event."
Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron: "Why the NFL dumped Colin Kaepernick but won't do squat to Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker"
Meme - Morgan J. Freeman: "This says everything."
*LeBron James on the court* "Shut up and play basketball."
*Colin Kaepernick kneeling in the stadium* "Shut up and play football."
*Megan Rapinoe preening in football stadium* "Shut up and play soccer."
*Harrison Butker giving speech at university* "Stunning and brave. Living his truth. Why do you hate free speech?"
John Lynch: "Says don't protest while you are at work and in uniform. Actually, one of the 4 is not protesting anything."
I saw many left wingers sharing the original meme. Given that the difference between Butker and the other 3 is literally depicted in the meme, this is proof that left wingers have very poor critical thinking skills
