Today he’s playing hero, tomorrow he’s the villain “He sounds like a monologuing Star Wars villain” NFL Fans tease and React To Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker Heroically Helping To Save Teammate BJ Thompson’s Life

A Kansas City Chiefs coach is praising kicker Harrison Butker, who the coach says helped save a teammate who was in the throes of cardiac arrest.

BJ Thompson suffered a seizure and went into cardiac arrest on Thursday during a special teams meeting at the team’s practice facility.

Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder says Butker was the one who raced out of the room to get aid for his ailing teammate.

Butker ‘immediately ran toward the training room’ in order to notify staffers of the situation.

Team doctors were able to get the 25-year-old defensive end’s heart back in rhythm using CPR and a single AED shock.

After arriving at the hospital unconscious, Thompson is now ‘awake and responsive’ according to his agent.

Burkholder says they’re not sure what caused the situation, but said that Thompson is ‘headed in the absolute right direction’.

A tweet on Friday afternoon from the Chiefs read, ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with BJ Thompson. Chiefs Kingdom, help us wish him a speedy recovery!’

Butker drew huge amounts of scorn from the sports world and beyond from his speech at Benedictine College, where he also claimed that men ‘set the tone of the culture.’

Notably, he said, ‘I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.

‘I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on this stage today, able to be the man that I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.

‘I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all, homemaker,’ Butker concluded.

He also railed against ‘delusional’ President Joe Biden, before attending the White House last week.
