    Where do I sign? The speach was not appropriate since he represents the Cheifs and the NFL regardless of where he is. It was not his job to preach. Graduation speaches are for encouragement to go after your dreams. Not about the speakers personal views. What he said is like a broken record playing the same tune ad nausium. We all know that. 🥱

    Whether you agree with him or not for people who sign a petition that he should be removed from the chiefs just proves the point that.

    Apparently spewing whatever ignorant bigotry you want in a graduation speech is totally fine. Just don't mention Palestine or we can't let you speak, it might upset someone. Good job, academia. Way to teach logic, ethics, philosophy, law, and critical thinking all at the same time: by showing the world what's lacking.

      I got my bachelor and master’s degree before I started my family. I wasn’t ready to be a parent at 18 or 21! Nothing wrong with starting your family after completing your education as I did! God does not put demands on people! His salvation is “Free Will”! Butker should only speak for himself! Good for him that he can afford for his wife to stay at home but in an average family today it takes two incomes! Narrow minded!

But someone online got mad? He wasn't even talking to you. Maybe schools should nolonger tape these events, otherwise there always will be someone out there got mad.
