You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives,\u201d Butker appeared to say in the edited clip. Although the clip used word&#8217;s from the NFL player&#8217;s speech, the words were heavily edited by changing the order in which he spoke them. \u201cHow many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you&#8217;re going to get in your career? I would venture to guess the women here today are going to lead successful careers in the world,\u201d Butker continued in Perry&#8217;s edit. \u201cI say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand, how much happier someone can be supporting women and not saying that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world,\u201d he went on the edited version of the address. \u201cThe road ahead is bright, things are changing, society is shifting and people young and old are embracing diversity equity and inclusion.\u201d \u201cWith that said, I want to say happy Pride Month to all of you,\u201d the edited speech continued, ending with Butker saying. \u201cAnd congratulations Class of 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Butker gave his controversial speech on May 11th which immediately received backlash from people all over the world. Following the backlash, the NFL\u2019s Chief Diversity Officer Jonathan Beane said in a statement, &#8220;Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.\u201d Former Kansas City commissioner Justice Horn\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JusticeHorn_\/status\/1790382449450516897\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-component=\"link\" data-source=\"inlineLink\" data-type=\"externalLink\" data-ordinal=\"1\">added on X<\/a>\u00a0(formerly Twitter). &#8220;Harrison Butker doesn\u2019t represent Kansas City nor has he ever.
