A world-famous player of one of the leading American football teams, Harrison Butker, caused a worldwide “scandal” with his words about his wife. What did an NFL player said so offensively about his wife that a petition was created to ban him from the Kansas City Chiefs?
You won’t believe it… Here is the “sexist” fragment of the statement given during a speech at a Catholic college in the USA:
I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on the stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I’m 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, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker. [Applause lasting 18 seconds]
In his speech to the school’s graduates, Harrison Butker also criticized euthanasia, “catholic contraception”, gender ideology, Covid restrictions, and, among others, President Biden for supporting abortion.
The speech was quoted in the press all over the world. An avalanche of hate began. The NFL dissociated itself from Butkers’s statement. E as well as the Benedictine sisters from Benedictine Collage where Buther had his speech.
Can we be silent? NO! The scandalous treatment of an athlete for his beautiful, grateful and loving words requires our response.
That’s why we appeal: let’s show support for a man who is not afraid to tell the truth about the vocation of spouses, despite harassment and hate. Let us also defend the choice of millions of women around the world who put caring for their home, husband and family at the head of the hierarchy of values.
Therefore, we would like to ask you to sign the petition to Harrison Butler expressing our appreciation and support!

Petycja do Harrisona Butkera
Dear Harrison,
We received your speech delivered at Benedictine Collage with great appreciation. I am glad that a player of this class, and an idol of many young men, spoke so beautifully about his vocation and the complementary vocation of his wife.
We welcome the fact that you appreciate the enormous value of the domestic work of millions of women, which is so mocked in the modern world. Taking care of the home and raising children to become noble adults deserves the highest recognition. Unfortunately, gratitude to ones wife for her enormous sacrifice goes against feminist dogmas and becomes the cause of both merciless and senseless attacks.
The hate you have become the subject of is a difficult but honorable confirmation of the truthfulness of your words and will certainly be rewarded. We also send our warmest respects to your wife.
Please remember that you have allies in us, Poles!
