The Kansas City Chiefs, led by kicker Harrison Butker, have been criticized for their lack of support for the LGBTQ+ community. Butker has been vocal about his opposition to Pride Month, calling it “sinful” in a recent graduation speech. His comments have been widely criticized, with many calling for him to be axed from the team.
“Harrison Butker doesn’t represent Kansas City nor has he ever. Kansas City has always been a place that welcomes, affirms and embraces our LGBTQ+ community members.” - Justice Horn, former chairman of the Kansas City LGBTQ Commission
The NFL has distanced itself from Butker’s comments, stating that they do not reflect the views of the organization. However, the lack of support from teams like the Kansas City Chiefs undermines the NFL’s commitment to inclusion and diversity.
