However, while some have criticized the Super Bowl winner, retired Philadelphia Eagles legend Kelce sought a more positive outlook on Butker’s address, even though he admitted that he didn’t agree with the entirety of the speech. The former Super Bowl-winning center claimed that Butker shared an important message about family.

He talks about family,’ Kelce said on the latest episode of New Heights. ‘I don’t think we have enough people talking about the foundation of family and the seriousness of parenthood. ‘If you’re going to embark on being a parent, I do think it needs to be the most important thing in your life. If your kids aren’t the most important thing in your and your wife’s life, you are failing in my opinion.

‘I also don’t think women, for the most part, are the issue here. I think there’s a much bigger issue with another gender in terms of raising kids. ‘We’ve played our entire careers with people that we don’t align on with everything. I don’t know I’ve played with one teammate that he and I have agreed with every single thing that each one of us thinks. And that’s the beauty! You find a way to work together.’
