NBC Sports anchor Trenni Casey swiftly bashed Harrison Butker for his controversial comments on gender roles. Casey asserted that she’s tired of hearing people say that everyone has the right to state their opinion, but Butker’s speech was downright hateful.

Butker drew public ire for his misogynistic comments during the commencement ceremony at Benedictine College in Kansas on Saturday, May 11. The 28-year-old claimed that women have been fed lies about their roles in society. He pushed the idea that finding a job and climbing the corporate ladder should not be the only ultimate goal of taking care of their family.

Casey pointed out that Butker’s words would not have been out of place if he only spoke about pro-life and IVF, showing his stance on LGBTQ+ ideas. However, he went off track by floating views that not only went against Catholic moral values but also dehumanized women.

I strongly believe in free speech, [but] I also believe there are consequences for speaking out. But what I really believe is [that] there is a big difference between an opinion and dehumanizing, hateful speech.
Trenni Casey said per the recent “Don’t @ Me” episode

She further added that people are allowed to have differences of opinion, but hateful speeches should not be tolerated. And Harrison Butker was spreading hate under the guise of preaching Catholicism.

Trenni Casey uses a Taylor Swift reference to criticize Harrison Butker

During his 20-minute speech, Butker used a reference to Taylor Swift’s song titled ‘Bejeweled.’ Casey felt it was inappropriate to use Swift’s song, and he did not even mention her name.

Butker felt it was appropriate to quote a Taylor Swift song, but it should be noted he didn’t call her by name. He just referred to her as the ‘girlfriend of a teammate’ because that’s all she has in his mind.

She picked out the perfect song that signified his position after his speech.

He chose to quote a song called ‘Bejeweled,’ but it feels inappropriate for Butker, who more closely aligns with the newer song she wrote, ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.'

Casey isn’t the only one looking to have a piece of Harrison Butker. Previously, Allison Kuch and several others spoke against the 28-year-old placekicker. A section of social media started a petition for his expulsion from the Chiefs.

However, he has also found support from teammate Chris Jones, Chiefs Heiress Gracie Hunt, Bill Maher, and Whoopi Goldberg. Since the speech became a national talking point, Butler’s jersey sales have skyrocketed.
