Kansas City Chiefs kicker went on an Aaron Rodgers-like retreat after the Super Bowl

The Kansas City Chiefs and their fans should be ecstatic after winning their second consecutive Super Bowl.

As the 2024 NFL season approaches, they should be preparing to defend their crown and become the first team in league history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

Unfortunately, much of the team’s news revolves around events that occurred off the field. Rashee Rice, a wide receiver, is facing multiple legal concerns as a result of an automobile accident in which he drove at 119 mph and fled the scene. He is also being investigated for his suspected role in a fight at a Dallas nightclub.

However, kicker Harrison Butker has recently made headlines after delivering a commencement address at Benedictine College that went viral. During his address, Butker targeted the LGBTQ+ community, made anti-Semitic remarks, and accused women of being “diabolically lied to” when they were told they might find pleasure and fulfillment outside of the house.

Even the Nuns of Benedictine College Denounced Kicker Harrison Butker

Butker argued during his address that being a wife and mother is a woman’s highest calling. The Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, one of Benedictine College’s founders and supporters, appear to have written a statement in response to Butker’s address.

The statement reads, in part,

“The Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica do not believe that Harrison Butker’s comments in his 2024 Benedictine College commencement address represent the Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts college that our founders envisioned and in which we have been so invested.

“One of our concerns was the assertion that being a homemakers is the highest calling for a woman. We sisters have dedicated our lives to God and God’s people, including the many women whom we have taught and influenced over the past 160 years.”

The statement goes on to add that they want Benedictine College to be an open community, rejecting Butker’s “narrow definition of what it means to be Catholic.”

Harrison Butker Spent a Week Alone in a Monestary After the Kansas City Chiefs Won the Super Bowl

Most NFL fans are already aware that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has some unique ways to decompress and refocus over the summer. When the Green Bay Packers decided to move him, he was supposedly on a days-long darkness retreat, imprisoned in a pitch-black room.

He describes the experience as enlightening, and claims that the visions he had throughout his stay taught him a lot about himself.

According to Fox 4 in Kansas City, Butker made a similar trip after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, albeit of a more conservative religious kind. Butker went to St. Michael’s Abbey at the start of Lent to spend a week in quiet and prayer.

According to the report, Butker stated, “Some spirits are only cast out by prayer and fasting. We must accept this punishment in order to bring order to our chaotic world.
