The critics of Harrison Butker's commencement speech at Benedictine College are continuing to fire.
The Kansas City Chiefs' kicker has come under fire after making specific references to female graduates embracing their "vocation" as a "homemaker" and President Biden’s stance on abortion as a Catholic.
He also made references to the LGBTQ community as it relates to Pride month, while adding, "Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder."
The latest media personality to rip Butker is former ESPN host Michelle Beadle.

Beadle, now a part of the San Antonio Spurs' broadcast team, said on her podcast with Peter Rosenberg, "Over The Top," that Butker losing his job would be "absolutely asinine," and the "beauty of the system" is Butker can share his thoughts and everyone is able to have an opinion.
However, she added that "everything [Butker] said was garbage," adding he disguised "hateful thoughts and feelings and bigotry" as a faith-based belief.
"I think when you hide hateful thoughts and feelings and bigotry behind the ‘cloak of religion,’ I tend to roll my eyes and stop listening," Beadle said.
