Earlier this month, another Chiefs player, Harrison Butker, made headlines for a controversial speech at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony.
The Chiefs kicker’s May 11 address at the Kansas Catholic school included attacks on working women, the LBGTQ+ community, abortion rights and families who utilize surrogacy and in vitro fertilization (IVF), drawing heavy criticism.
On May 15, the NFL addressed the speech, stating that the kicker’s views differ from those of the organization.
“Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,” Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, told PEOPLE in a statement.
“His views are not those of the NFL as an organization,” the statement continued. "The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
