Colton Underwood is not surprised by the NFL’s reaction to Harrison Butker’s speech at the Benedictine College graduation ceremony. During a new interview, former football player Colton, 32, reacted to how professionals in the league responded to Harrison’s statements.
«For me, it’s not surprising», - Colton told Us Weekly magazine in an interview published on Tuesday, June 4, adding that the influence of the NFL is now «global». «Look, I was part of this. In the end, they make a business decision. I think that needs to be said. The NFL, no matter how much it is a sport, it is an entertainment business».
Although Colton did not specify whose statements he was referring to, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid responded to Harrison’s statements at a press conference earlier this month. «We are a microcosm of life here, from different areas, different religions, races, and so we all get along and respect each other’s opinions», - Andy said. «We respect everyone to have a voice, that’s a wonderful thing in America».
However, NFL Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Jonathan Beane noted that «Harrison's views are not the views of the NFL as an organization».
Harrison’s speech at the graduation ceremony sparked national outrage. Addressing the Benedictine College graduates in Kansas on May 11, he called Pride Month a «mortal sin» and noted that «one of the most important titles» for women is to be a «homemaker».
«Some of you may become successful in the world of careers, but I assume most of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world», - Harrison said.
The Chiefs kicker continued, stating that without men, society would be «disorder, dysfunction, and chaos».
«As men, we set the tone of culture», - Harrison said, adding, «The absence of men in the home plays a big role in the violence we see everywhere in the nation».
Furthermore, Harrison criticized President Joe Biden — whom Harrison and his colleagues recently visited at the White House — as «a man who publicly and proudly proclaims his Catholic faith, but at the same time is so illusory that he makes the Sign of the Cross during a rally for abortions».
«He was so loud in his support of the murder of innocent children that I am sure for many people it seems like you can be both a Catholic and pro-choice», - Harrison added about the president
