The NFL is currently sold out of women’s Harrison Butker jerseys. Turns out plenty of women support him!
He also took a large chunk of his speech to speak directly to the women in the audience. He said that while many of them likely are excited to start a career and get promotions, they should instead consider the only vocation that will make them most happy: homemaker.
“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 a mother. I’m on this stage, 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.”
This was just after quoting Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of his Chiefs teammate. He just had to get that Swift-song quote in, even if it was on loan from someone else.
A large part of his speech was about people in life “staying in their lane,” centering much of that conversation on “leaders.” It certainly seems clear that Butker thinks the “lane” for women is between a refrigerator and an oven.
