Butker made his first appearance since then on Friday at the ‘Courage Under Fire Gala’ in Nashville, TN.
On Friday night, Harrison Butker made his first public appearance since his commencement speech at Benedectine College, and he displayed no regret.
The Kansas City Chiefs kicker attended the “Courage Under Fire Gala” in Nashville on Friday, which was hosted by the Regina Caeli Academy.
The academy “encourages our students to strive for excellence in academics as well as in virtuous living, self-discipline, and accountability through a classical education taught in light of the Catholic tradition,” according to its official website.
Butker has served on the Academy’s board of directors since last year.
Butker took the stage at the gala and received a standing ovation before delivering another speech in which he reaffirmed his faith and his comments, despite the criticism he has received.
Butker admitted that the more he speaks out about his convictions, the “more polarizing” he becomes — but he will never care what others think of him.
Butker went on to say that he is “humbled” by the support he has gotten, and that all of the criticism he has faced pales in comparison to the “courage many saints have shown in their lives.”
In the commencement, Butker urged women graduates at the ceremony to embrace being a “homemaker” and criticized the LGBTQ community and President Biden for his abortion views.
In his remarks, Butker stated that “things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.”
Butker’s jersey sales have subsequently skyrocketed on NFL Shop, although many in the media remain divided on the speech.
Butker played in his third Super Bowl this year with Kansas City, helping them win back-to-back in February.
