The discussions about Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker are not dying down. Now teammate Travis Kelce commented on the kicker’s statements in his podcast “New Heights.”

Harrison Butker’s speech at a strict Catholic school near Kansas City continues to reverberate.

After Patrick Mahomes, the franchise’s second superstar, Travis Kelce, has now also spoken out on the subject. In his podcast “New Heights”, the tight end explained: “I value him as a teammate. I think Pat put it best: he’s a great person and a great teammate”

He continued, “When it comes to his views and what he said at the Saint Benedict’s College graduation speech, those are his views. I can say that I disagree with most of it, except that he loves his family and his kids,” the 34-year-old continued.

The three-time Super Bowl winner made it clear that he doesn’t see himself in a position to judge other people: “I don’t think I should judge him on his views, especially his religious views. That’s just not me. “

His brother, former NFL star Jason Kelce, also expressed displeasure with the statements made, but cannot understand the immense hatred towards Butker: “The things he said in the commencement speech are not what I agree with. But he’s giving a graduation speech at a Catholic university, and what a shock, it was a very religious speech.”

“It’s always good to hear from people who really know their stuff instead of people reacting to comments without having met the man,” the ex-Eagle said.

Butker has played for the Kansas City Chiefs since 2017, won three Super Bowls with the team and has been one of the best kickers in the league for years.
