Harrison Butker<\/strong><\/a> is speaking out about a panel of drag queens allegedly \u201cmocking\u201d the Last Supper at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is crazy,\u201d the Kansas City Chiefs kicker, 29, captioned a screenshot via his Instagram Story on Friday, July 26, before quoting the bible. He also posted a 20-second clip of the moment via X<\/a>, sharing a snippet of the bible verse he was quoting: \u201cGod is not mocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the clip, the camera focused on a performer in the center of a long table before it panned out, showing more performers in positions that some compared to the depiction of the Last Supper.<\/p>\n

Butker received tons of support in the comment section of his post on X, with many followers writing, \u201cAmen.\u201d However, some social media users<\/a> were divided over his remarks, like one who quoted a verse about not judging others.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics is sure to be a spectacle to behold. In addition to being the first opening ceremony to take place completely outdoors on the River Seine, this year\u2019s show is rumored to feature performances from a number of celebrity performers. Among those set to take the Olympics stage [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The NFL player\u2019s commentary on the Paris Olympics moment comes two months after he made headlines for the controversial remarks<\/a> he made during his graduation speech at Benedictine College in May. During his address, he singled out women graduating from the Catholic liberal arts college by saying, \u201cIt is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow 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?\u201d he said. \u201cSome 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to his wife, Isabelle Butker<\/strong>, the three-time Super Bowl champion added, \u201cI\u2019m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith and become my wife and embrace one of the most important titles of all \u2014 homemaker.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tKansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is facing backlash after his controversial graduation speech. Butker, 28, was the commencement speaker at Benedictine College on Saturday, May 11. The athlete first raised eyebrows when he addressed the women graduates to invoke stereotypical gender roles. \u201cI want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Social media users, celebrities and even Harrison\u2019s teammates reacted to his speech, in which he also slammed LGBTQIA+ rights, IVF and surrogacy as family planning methods. Additionally, he quoted outspoken feminist Taylor Swift, referring to her only as \u201cmy teammate\u2019s girlfriend.\u201d (Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and 14-time Grammy Award winner, 34, have been dating since summer 2023.)<\/p>\n

He broke his silence<\/a> on the matter during the Regina Caeli Academy Courage Under Fire Gala, in which he doubled down on his beliefs and stood by his statements.<\/p>\n
