In a week, Harrison Butker went from a three-time Super Bowl champion to an apparent misogynist and sexist individual. It seems Patrick Mahomes gave everyone a heads-up right after the Kansas City Chiefs’ latest championship triumph.
Butker was one of the main reasons the Chiefs managed to win back-to-back Super Bowls. He dispatched a Super Bowl-record 57-yard field goal to secure a win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Shortly after, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, where host Pat McAfee asked him about his opinion of Butker, Mahomes claimed that he doesn’t talk or interfere with the placekicker’s business.
Honestly, I don’t talk to Harrison all year long, man. I just let him do his thing... We sit right beside each other in team meetings, and I don’t say one word to him only before and after the season.Patrick Mahomes told Pat McAfee
This FaceTime ESPN interview resurfaced on May 15 following a series of derogatory remarks made by Harrison Butker. Four days prior, he was a guest speaker at a Catholic institution, where he stated that women have been lied to about jobs and careers and advised them to pay more attention to family.
An X account titled ‘Zach Mullis‘ reshared Mahomes’ video, with the caption implying that Mahomes was aware of Butker’s previously unknown side.

Fact Check: What did Patrick Mahomes actually say about Harrison Butker?
The X account that posted the video tried to imply that Mahomes intentionally kept his distance from Harrison Butker because they did not share the same ideologies. However, the clip is incomplete.
A few lines have been cut from Mahomes’ speech.
Honestly, I don’t talk to Harrison all year long, man. I just let him do his thing. But I know if I can just cross that 40, man, if I cross that 40, he’s going to put it through there. I know if you saw in the game I got a little pressure, threw it short, and knew Harrison was going to knock it through. We sit right beside each other in team meetings, and I don’t say one word to him only before and after the season.Patrick Mahomes said
The six-time Pro Bowler, in reality, was praising his teammate instead of foreshadowing anything dark. However, Mahomes has remained silent since Butker’s latest statements.
