Quote:Serena Williams slammed Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at the 2023 ESPY awards.

Serena and her sister Venus Williams were on stage during the awards show with Abbott Elementary actress Quinta Brunson when Venus asked the crowd to enjoy women’s sports “like you would any other sports because they are sports.”

Serena added, “Except you, Harrison Butker, we don’t need you.” The crowd laughed and applauded as Brunson added, “At all … like ever.” Butker was in the audience of the Dolby Theater to support his teammates who were up for awards.

Butker drew the ire of many on the political left after he gave a commencement speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas focusing on Christian values and emphasized that women should not be told "diabolical lies" about the importance of family and their careers.

He said, “How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”

Butker’s teammate Patrick Mahomes, who previously defended the kicker, won the award for best athlete in men’s sports, was seated a few rows behind the Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid, who accepted the award on Mahomes’ behalf.

Just like women's sports, nobody watched this or knew it was happening either.

They had the espys? Hmm, who woulda thunk it?

I'm sure Butker will lose sleep over this.

When did anyone give a F what Venus or Serenus thought about anything?

Harrison Butker should have stood up and yelled back... WAY AHEAD OF YOU !!!

Disagree. What he — and anyone who opposes the Disney/Capital Cities/ABC/ESPN vision for our society — should have done is not show up for an event like that.

The only thing Serena ever said that made sense was that men would beat her like a drum in tennis.

Are we sure they are female? Put some braids on them and you have....

Not sure the issue, hosts have been taking shots at people in monologues for 70 years. Now the joke and delivery were quite crappy.

She made a “personal attack” while he was just speaking his “truth” right? He stood up with his full chest and made that speech. He should be able to take the hate along with the love.

When he made his speech, did he call out a specific member of the audience for ridicule/hostility? Honest question because I didn’t listen to his speech or read most of it, except for a few phrases. But unless he did that — then the answer to your question is an unequivocal Yes: Williams/Brunson did, indeed, use the podium at a televised awards show to make a personal attack against an individual sitting in the audience that they don’t like, while Butker did nothing of the sort.

Quote:He should be able to take the hate along with the love.

I’m actually with you on that, and I suspect Butker has the stones to accept that wisdom in peace, and move on with his life. But like I said before, just showing up for public events like that is giving an entirely unearned, undeserved concession to the other side. Bad move, imho. I know he went as a show of support to a teammate and I get that. But still.

This man probably laughs at all the people he triggered....


he knew making the speech in todays world where everyone that disagrees has a victim mentality had negative feedback coming his way. I seriously doubt he cares what these people had to say.

Has the two sisters been drug tested during their playing days? Hard seeing females get that large even with hard work, without help

Yes, she made a personal attack and yes, he was simply speaking his mind. Yes.


Haven’t seen him complain about the attacks on him personally.
So there’s that.

Venus has only gotten huge since she retired. She was tall and thin. Not Maria Sharapova thin, but thin. How did Maria get mentioned? Was that a dig at women being popular because they are beautiful? Serena has always been pretty muscular.

You should probably ask the women he pissed off. The GOP who wants to only protect women in Sports. Sports which at the end of the day is pointless fun.

If he pissed off you or women or both, then he probably wasn’t targeting those people to begin with.

The only women he pissed off are obvious miserable, hateful, intolerant nazi level feminists.

The idea that saying something as innocuous as he bets catholic women look forward to being moms would trigger far left left loony's this bad just shows how far gone off the deep end people of your ilk are.

Imagine a world so toxic and psychotic that simply saying a young girl looks forward to having a family causes emotional damage.

I don't have to imagine it because I'm actually living in it. You people have a terminal rotting disease of the soul.

If there was ever a generation that needed saving its this one.

They don't know or want to know what he actually said. They've been told he's bad and evil and that's the limit of their intellectual curiosity. As I recall his comment was something to the effect of "sure some of you will have great careers, but the most important thing to you will be family and having children."
