But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about
your marriage and the Children you will bring into this world. The NFL is
responding to a controversial speech from Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison
but Kerr, the league reacts after comments from the three time Super Bowl
champion made at a commencement speech at Benedictine College went viral. The
28 year old is under fire online after discussing a range of topics, women to
embrace their vocation as homemakers and also touched on abortion, LGBT Q
rights and the pandemic. Now the NFL is distancing itself from the player in a
statement to People Magazine, the nfl's senior Vice president and Chief
Diversity and Inclusion Officer says Harrison Buter gave a speech in his
personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization.
The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion which only makes our
league stronger. In addition to the slew of controversial comments,
Harrison also raised eyebrows by condemning religious leaders while
quoting a lyric from Taylor Swift who is of course stating his teammate
Travis Kelsey tragically, so many priests revolve much of their happiness
from the adulation they receive from their parishioners. And in searching
for this, they let their guard down and become overly familiar. This undue
familiarity will prove to be problematic every time because as my
teammate's girlfriend says, familiarity breeds contempt. But Kerr also drew
fire when speaking directly to female graduates for the ladies present today.
Congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of
all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to
speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you the women who have had
the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now
about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and
titles you're going to get in your career. Some of you may go on to lead
successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the
majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the Children you will
bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabel would be
the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her
vocation as a wife and as a mother e news has reached out to reps for Swift
Bokar and the Chiefs for comment but has yet to hear back.
