Breaking News:The NFL, Kelly Stafford, Maria Shriver & More Called Out Harrison Butker’s Speech

Vedder isn’t the only celebrity to call out Butker, who urged women to embrace their true vocation as “a homemaker.” He also denounced abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, Jews, Pride Month, President Joe Biden, and pro-choice Catholics.

The NFL distanced itself from the three-time Super Bowl champion’s comments. “Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization,” Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer told People. “The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”

The Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica discredited Butker’s speech in a lengthy statement. Activist and Former First Lady of California Maria Shriver called out Butker’s speech in a series of posts on X.

Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, posted a strong message against Butker’s speech on Instagram.

“Women already experience enough imposter syndrome and to have a man use a platform to enforce a woman’s deepest fears is troubling,” she added on her Instagram Stories, US Weekly reported. “The fear that we don’t have a choice and we don’t belong.”
