Keegan Matheson on Blue Jays, Baseball Memories, and More | SaltWire #writer #torontobluejays #mlbKansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce said he doesn't agree with the"majority" of Harrison Butker's recent controversial comments but noted that he will not judge his teammate for it.

Butker caused a stir during his 20-minute commencement address on May 11 at Benedictine College, which is a Catholic school in Atchison, Kan. He addressed the female graduates in attendance and spoke against the"diabolical lies" society places on women who emphasize their careers over motherhood.

"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."Butker said,"As my teammate's girlfriend says, 'familiarity breeds contempt'" -- which references Swift's song"Bejeweled.
