There was a time when the National Football League used to promote the type of values that made America great, but those days are gone now and probably gone forever.
The modern incarnation of the NFL showed that like nearly every institution in the nation today, it is beholden to the “woke” left and the cultural jihadists aren’t about to put up with a player of devout Christian faith exercising his right to free speech.
Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker – who for now hasn’t been suspended – was thrown under the bus by the NFL after the mob demanded that he be punished for remarks about the “degenerate cultural values” in a nation that has rejected God, and singled out President Joe Biden for criticism.

The three-time Super Bowl champ was savaged by the speech police for his address at the commencement ceremony at Benedictine College, a private Catholic college in Atchison, Kansas over the weekend, remarks that drew the full fury of the stridently anti-free speech homosexual rights lobby, a humorless gang of vicious bullies.
As the media subjected Butker to the usual vilification of those who don’t bow at the altar of degeneracy, a petition by the left-wing Change.org to pressure the Chiefs into booting their star kicker off the team has been launched.
The NFL then threw their player under the bus in a statement that, while not explicitly calling Butker a bigoted homophobe, made it clear that the league is all-in on “diversity,” which is just another word for good old-fashioned fascism – only with a rainbow hue – in post-Obama America.
“Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,” NFL senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer Jonathan Beane said in a statement. “His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
The NFL is more upset with Butker’s Christian values than the woman beaters, drunken drivers, dopers, sex abusers, and other lawbreakers – including those on the Chiefs like wide receiver Rashee Rice who was driving 119 mph before a car crash in Texas last month. Fortunately, he didn’t kill anyone.

Former Chief Tyreek Hill – an alleged serial domestic abuser – didn’t even merit such treatment from the NFL. In fact, the Chiefs aren’t only a force on the field, they also dominate the police blotter and are among the league leaders in arrests since 2000.
The modern NFL will gladly tolerate a jab-pushing drunken boor like Travis Kelce, a serial sex offender in Deshaun Watson, and a plethora of other players and their thuggish behavior, but God forbid anyone blasphemes the unofficial religion of the state.
Which is what Butker did.
It’s impossible to imagine any player openly expressing his faith on the field the way that former Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow did during his brief playing career but while you can’t kneel for Jesus, you can sure as hell do it for Colin Kaepernick in Roger Goodell’s league.
The NFL is no longer your father’s favorite football league but a greed-fueled, virtue-signaling de facto appendage of the “woke” state with its tolerance of anti-Americanism during the national anthem and the adoption of the militant Black Lives Matter movement’s messaging, including the white-shaming slogans like “END RACISM” painted in the end zones for the last several years.
Not only that, but the product on the field is purely garbage riddled with poor play, no idea of what constitutes a catch and so much bad officiating in key games that many fans have concluded – correct or not – that the games are rigged.
Then there’s the just-inked deal with Netflix to put the game’s two Christmas Day games – one featuring Butker’s team – on the streaming service, screwing fans who would normally have been able to watch for free on network TV and now must lay out more money at the toughest time of the year in an economy devasted by President Joe Biden’s economic policies.
Long gone are the days when the NFL used to proudly espouse patriotic values that the USA long stood for before Barack Obama slithered onto the scene, and it’s all been downhill since. If a player had encouraged adults to have anal sex with children it’s hard to imagine that he would be treated in the same manner that Butker has been.
And the league is going to get REAL political this coming season to keep Trump out of the White House, you can bet on it, especially with the Chiefs and Taylor Swift being heavily featured on the national television schedule.
Whether the NFL takes disciplinary action against Butker remains to be seen, but the pressure to do so isn’t going to relent until it does.
