Absolutely. Let's start a petition to have Travis Kelce fired. (His nauseating courtship of Taylor Swift--an outspoken misandrist feminist--was a serious distraction for the team all year.) As far as I know, only one teammate (the redoubtable Chris Jones) spoke up for Butker. Imagine that, allowing your own kicker, who has been responsible for many Chiefs wins, to be mobbed by a bunch of vicious harridans, and without saying a word!!!!
It’s just like in my pharma company in 2020. I spoke the truth about the fakeness of the pandemic and I was shunned, scorned and ultimately fired the next year. The people who could and should have formed ranks with me slunk into the shadows.
I am trying. But it isn’t copying. Google Andy Reid on Butker’s speech. Or same with Patrick Mahomes. CBS News. Whoopi Goldberg defended him too. They all said ‘we can agree or disagree but people have the right to speak their minds’.
Andy Reid said all Sorts of people in a locker room. They don’t have to agree on everything and still respect each other. Nobody said ‘what he said was fine’. A bit of weaseling going on. Mahomes is a strong Christian. I can’t imagine he disagrees with much of what Butker said.
Gender ideology is dangerous. Abortion harms women. Most people don’t ever work at something that is so important and meaningful they can’t imagine their life without it. As the vast majority of work is somewhat meaningless. Pride MONTH is ridiculous. I know many gays who are offended by Pride parades. They say ‘I am much more than what I do sexually’. Butker didn’t say anything really radical.
I have attended Pride Parades. All of the ones I attended included partial nudity, simulated sex acts, and harsh mockery of Catholic priests and nuns, who were often presented in a sexual manner. Pride has always been the wrong word anyway: what is meant is something closer to dignity. But much of the Pride celebrations is not dignified at all.
OK, that is good to hear. I Googled Patrick Mahomes Harrison Butker 3 days ago, when I was writing the essay, and couldn't find anything recent, just a non-committal comment he'd made in interview some months ago suggesting that he didn't know Butker well. Probably just my bad Google-research skills.

How about the coach. Or telling the league the owner should vacate his ownership. Both for not standing by a player for exercising his rights.
Andy Reid defended him.
So glad to hear. Could you link to it, if not too inconvenient?

That's OK, thanks for finding it! I am relieved they did that.
I see you are from Vancouver. I grew up in Fraserview. East Van. I am
Older. Born in 1951. It was a different City then. Different rules of order.
Definitely a tough part of the city. My parents were both from East Vancouver. My mom went to Templeton High and my dad to Britannia.
David Thompson for me. At one point any accomplished Vancouverite came from Britannia. Its ‘Who’s Who’ was pretty impressive.

Agreed.

I believe that Coach Reid and Patrick Mahomes have stood up for Butker publicly.
I just Googled this. Mahomes weaseled a bit but overall stood up for him well. I haven’t checked the coach out.

I didn't know that!!! Glad to be wrong on that score. I like Andy Reid very much.
Nothing from Kelce, I suppose?
