Travis and Jason Kelce spoke about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast
“He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And that’s how he treats everyone,” Travis said of his teammate
“I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids,” Travis added of the speech
Travis Kelce is weighing in on his Kansas City Chiefs teammate Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech.
On May 11, Butker, 28, who is a kicker for the NFL team, decried various “diabolical lies told to women” about topics including abortion, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy during a speech at Benedictine College, which is a Catholic school.
During the speech, Butker also quoted lyrics written by Travis’ girlfriend, Taylor Swift, 34, from her Midnights song “Bejeweled.”
He said, “As my teammate’s girlfriend says, ‘familiarity breeds contempt,’ ” referencing the 2022 lyrics.
He’s treated friends and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And that’s how he treats everyone. When it comes down to his views and what he said at [Benedictine’s] commencement speech, those are his,” the tight end continued.
“I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life, that’s just not who I am,” he added.
