Earlier this year, Kansas City Chiefs star kicker Harrison Butker went totally viral on social media for a controversial commencement speech at a Catholic college in which he criticized transgender people, mocked LGBTQ Pride Month, and suggested that the most important role for women is as homemakers. While he received a lot of criticism, it sounds like he has one major supporter.
This week, country music superstar Morgan Wallen performed at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City – the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. As he took to the stage to begin his performance, he wore a No. 7 jersey – the same jersey number worn by Butker – and gave a speech about standing up fro what you believe in, much like Butker did with his Catholic faith earlier this year.
“Morgan Wallen just walked out to Arrowhead wearing a Harrison Butker jersey and gave a whole speech about standing up for what you believe in to a ROARING crowd,” Danny De Urbina of “The Benny Show” said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

It’s worth noting that the jersey he wore had “Wallen” on the back instead of Butker, but it’s clear how everyone took the message.
