Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt, weighed in Friday morning on Harrison Butker’s commencement speech.. Hunt appeared on Fox News Channel’s 'Fox & Friends' with Steve Doocy and Will Cain and spoke briefly about the Super Bowl champion kicker’s speech to students at Benedictine College. 'Well, I can only speak from my own experience, which is I've had the most incredible mom who had the ability to stay home and be with us as kids growing up.
When asked whether she understood where Butker was coming from, she agreed. 'For sure, and I really respect Harrison and his Christian faith and what he's accomplished on and off the field.' Butker came under attack over his 20-minute commencement speech, which appeared to be rooted in his Christian faith. In a statement to People magazine, the NFL clarified that Butker spoke from a 'personal capacity' and reiterated the league’s stance on inclusion.
can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on this stage today and able to be the man that I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.
The Carolina Panthers selected Butker with the No. 233 overall pick in the 2017 draft. However, he never played in the regular season for them. He joined the Chiefs that year and has played in 107 games for them since then. Fox News’ Paulina Dedaj contributed to this report.
