LZ Granderson reacts to Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's commencement speech | All Facts No Brakes

Kansas City Chiefs kicker. Harrison bucker. Hopefully I got that correct. Hopefully you got it wrong. Gave a commencement speech and compared pride month with his, which is coming up in about two weeks. It's June still, right. It's still June Yeah I'm just making sure because, you know, I was surprised on his mind, too. I wasn't thinking about pride, so. So he could be living rent free in your head, dawg. Why is that. Pride pride month to a deadly sin in basically told women to get back into the kitchen. Right and do I guess motherly duties or whatever wife duties or whatever the case is like this is the, you know 1915 or something like that, or it could be today, you know, whatever, you know, whatever. Listen, man. What's your thoughts on that. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion Yeah the problem isn't with Harrison. The problem is the University decided that guy. Should speak to our kids. And they chose him probably because of his popularity on the Super Bowl winning team, blah, blah, blah, blah. They didn't sit back and say, what is he going to say to these young people at this moment That's going to take them to the next level of their careers? Because they did not come to college to raise kids. They went to college to build their careers and to be to better themselves as individuals. And did he say something that you thought was edifying or did he say something that presented a perspective of his from his own experience that he was trying to project onto the student body. You're supposed to and I've been a commencement speaker. You're supposed to pull on your life experience to inspire. He pulled on his life experience to criticize, to chastise. He pulled from his life experience to get political and talked about president Biden in his faith as if he is the person, the gatekeeper of the Catholic faith. I didn't hear shit from Harrison yet when all these Catholic priests were being busted for. Come on now. Where was your where was your commencement speech then. But like I said, I hadn't even been thinking about pride. And I'm game as hell. Why is pride of your mind like that dog. Why do we stay locked in on everybody else's shit as opposed to just focusing in on what you need to do in your own individual life. I'm not running around telling people how to live their lives. I break down politics. I break down culture. But you can read me. You can listen to me. I never tell you you need to do this. You need to do that. And as a commencement speaker, I really felt offended by that because I'm an educator. You know this. I teach and like your moment in front of these young people are so precious. And he took that moment and he ridiculed, you know, the queer students out there. He ridiculed a progressives slash non maga people. But more importantly, he took that moment and he just shat all over all those young women who worked so hard to get to that degree with his view of what he thinks they should do with the rest of their lives, as opposed to inspiring them to pursue what they think they should do with the rest of their lives. Yeah, I was I obviously I'm not game. I don't get into your personal life. But I was I was offended because you know how I am about that stuff I don't play that shit at all. Right when you start. Doing things that saying things about communities or people that you shouldn't. If you don't know what you're talking about, if you don't know what you're talking. You don't know that individual person or whatever the case may be. So, you know me, I was extremely offended by it because I thought. What if? You on a team and your star player who led you to many Super Bowl victories or whatever you want to call it. Happens to be game without you even knowing. In you do this and you treat it this way, or let's just say. Somebody in your family. Right or is in that position and you say these things and you do these things. And then furthermore, I had a mother who was no longer with me, and I have sisters and I have daughters. And their job is not to sit-in a kitchen. Seriously, he said, vocation man, whatever. He tried to make it sound fancy, honorable. That's not the job. They have dreams and aspirations of becoming something bigger. I have a 14-year-old daughter who has her own company, and eventually she's going to probably, in my eyes and my view, take that company to a whole nother level in a short period of time where she's going to start taking care of daddy. You know what I'm saying. It's going to be like, you know, so all facts of London. Well, that's the plan. And so when I start to hear this sort of stuff, you know, you sit back and you go, man, dude, really stupid. But he doesn't get it. But he's not stupid. He's part of a larger sort of conversation that's been happening in these spaces. He's a political conservative, and I have nothing you want to do with your political beliefs. But don't, don't. But it's part this narrative key that's multi-tiered. The first is that there is an attack on what it means to be masculine and be be a man in this country. That's first. We have elected officials who talk about this. We have one who's written a book about this. And Harrison is a friend of one of those elected officials. So it's part of that overall thing, too. It's a political year. It's an election year. And so he's doing everything he can because he wants his guy to get in. Clearly understood. And he took that moment to do those things. But I don't think he's stupid. I think he was very conscious of what he was doing. It may have been it may have been calculated and it was calculated. It may have been he went to Georgia Tech. He's not a stupid kicker, but he's an asshole kicker education league that he's a knucklehead. As far as education goes, I just it it was an asshole thing to do. In my opinion. It was very much so. An asshole thing to business. Yeah, no question about it. Dad, what would you do if you had to deal with a teammate who has polar opposite life views than you. Same thing I do. What else. Yeah, nothing. Live, live our life and have fun and enjoy. And I've had teammates that were in question way back then. Any numbers we stop back in the market, man, so stop hating it. You wouldn't want them. All right. All right. On the offensive line side of line, I need some skill positions you would want to, but you're so stupid. And so you're funny. I've had teammates that was in question, but I've always been a person that wrapped my arms around people. You know, my daughter, your sister, dibbled and dabbled in that world, in that community. And guess what. I embraced the situation and had no problems with it at all. Come on, bring your friends. Let's roll. We ain't got no problem. I ain't got ain't got no problem with. Came up to my funeral, recognized a couple friends immediately it was like, OK, I get it. So it's fine. That's the world that people choose to live in has nothing to do with us. All we could do is support it, live and be a part of it and live their dream with them. That's it. You know what I'm saying. That's do, man. I have a whole community straight up. I have a whole community of game friends, game men, and all we do is really Yeah And all we do know my little group, all we do is talk about ball. Of course we text each other. When the Lakers got eliminated, my whole timeline was flooded with these memes from nothing but game dudes who were just like me. We're sports obsessed. We give each other shit and all we care about is taking care of our shit, you know, and, you know, loving life and being good people and et cetera. And everyone else who heaps in all that other stuff in this space. They're the one that's making it more difficult.
