Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker wasted very little time sharing his take on the controversial opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France.

The games have officially started, marking its official launch with a massive opening ceremony, which at one point featured a parody of “The Last Supper” with drag queens.

The official Olympics X/Twitter account noted that the bit was an “interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings.”

Butker, an outspoken and devout Catholic, posted a screenshot of the scene on Instagram, captioning it, “This is crazy.”

 

Harrison Butker Was Active On Another Platform Too

Butker also got on X/Twitter and posted a clip from the event.

“Be not deceived, God is not mocked,” he wrote as the caption. “For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. For he that soweth in his flesh, of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit, of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:7-8.”

Butker’s tweet has been viewed nearly 4 million times and has attracted over 110K likes.

The Chiefs kicker was hardly the only one to lash out at the segment, with many viewers also expressing disgust.

Harrison Butker has been in the news frequently lately, primarily because of his commencement speech at Benedictine College. In it, he encouraged women to embrace their roles as homemakers while also trashing pride month.

Serena Williams’ Attack On Harrison Butker Had An Unexpected Effect That Should Have The Chiefs Kicker Hoping More People Lash Out At Him

The Harrison Butker story was done, that is until Serena Williams resurrected it at the ESPYs on Thursday night.

The tennis legend hosted the event and created plenty of memorable moments, but perhaps none so memorable as her going after the Kansas City Chiefs kicker.

Check it out in the video below:

According to MLFootball, Butker’s Chiefs jersey is top seller among NFL threads, not for the first time this offseason. “He’s the first kicker in league history to do this multiple times, wow,” they noted.

 

Harrison Butker Responds To Serena Williams

Harrison Buter has since responded to Serena Williams’ shot. The kicker made a statement to NBC News in which he lauded the tennis icon for her fine hosting job but criticized her for being dismissive.

“I thought Mrs. Williams was a great host and applaud her for using her platform to express her beliefs on a variety of topics,” he wrote.

“Sports are supposed to be the great unifier and at an event dedicated to celebrating a diverse group of men and women who have accomplished great feats, she used it as an opportunity to disinvite those with whom she disagrees with from supporting fellow athletes.”

Butker, a former seventh-round pick by the Carolina Panthers, has spent his entire career with the Chiefs, who picked him up after he was waived before making a single appearance for the NFC outfit.

He has since helped Kansas City to three Super Bowl wins.
