Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker wins scathing ‘A**hole Of The Year’ award for anti-gay speech.​

In May, the Kansas City Chiefs kicker told students at Benedictine College in Kansas that he believed Pride month to be “sinful”. Butker also insisted that most women celebrating their graduation there would be happier as wives and mothers.
Following Butker’s original speech, NFL senior vice president and chief diversity officer Jonathan Beane said that it did not represent the league’s views.
Butker later insisted that he doesn’t regret his words, and has now been awarded as Outsports’ “2024 A**hole Of The Year.”
The outlet wrote that “for his anti-gay, anti-women speech, and doubling down on it throughout the year, Harrison Butker is Outsports’ 2024 A**hole Of The Year.”

Outsports also had a Dishonorable Mention in former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, who has platformed her anti-trans views on “another level” this year. Gaines spoke out against this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for its inclusion of trans models
“She seemed to be everywhere that conversations about trans athletes popped up, whether it was the San Jose State women’s volleyball team or high schools,” the outlet recalled.

A bit rich given he's wearing shoulder pads like Joan Collins in Dynasty.

This is a sport that revolves around headbutting people, whose participants were shocked and amazed to learn that there may be a risk of head injuries.

So we maybe shouldn't listen to their opinions on anything.

I just find these sort of things fascinating that show blatant cheek and bigotry from humans.

I still can't really get my head around American football having "kicker" as a job title.

Presumably that's his only skill and he's useless at everything else.

Yeah, I dont know what that is. I assume its when they kick it over the pole, similar to rugby.
