Harrison Butker, the Chiefs kicker who made headlines for the misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ+ commencement speech he gave over the summer, will miss the next four games due to an injured knee, and the response from women has been scathing!
Back in May, Butker gave a speech at the graduation ceremony at Benedictine College where he told the women receiving their diploma that they should be excited about their future roles as wives and mothers, not the careers they had spent years studying for. He also railed against abortion, IVF, surrogacy, and "the tyranny of diversity, equity, and inclusion," called Pride Month a "deadly sin," and warned against "people pushing dangerous gender ideologies onto the youth of America."
Today, the 29-year-old NFL star had to undergo surgery to trim his meniscus and has been placed on the injured reserve list, which means he is unlikely to return until the end of the regular season or playoffs, USA Today reports.
When women heard the news that Butker had injured his knee and needed surgery, they took to social media to roast the pro football player. The hilarious jokes ranged from quipping that his injury will give him "more time to spend in the kitchen" to hoping that "Harrison Butker gets an all female staff for his surgery" to quipping that his injury is the "sole win for feminism this week."
According to Butker's latest post on X (formerly Twitter), his surgery was a success. "Surgery went great! Thank you for the prayers," he wrote. But that hasn't stopped the jokes from pouring in, and we couldn't be happier because we really needed a good laugh this week.
