Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes defended teammate Harrison Butker on Wednesday following his controversial commencement speech earlier this month, in which he said that a woman’s accomplishments in the home are more valuable than any academic or professional goals and called Pride Month a “deadly sin,” among other things.
The three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Mahomes told reporters that Butker is a “good person” despite “not necessarily agreeing” with his comments, which were made in an address to graduates at Benedictine College, a small Catholic school in Atchison, Kansas. “I’ve known him for seven years,” the two-time NFL MVP said after the team’s organized team activities .
“At the same time, I know what type of person he is and I’m going to make sure I look at that first and let the other stuff handle itself.” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he talks to Butker “all the time” but did not address the speech with him. “We’re a microcosm of life here,” Reid said. “Everybody is from different areas, different religions, different races and we all get along.
