Brooke Schwartz, who is married to former Chiefs offensive tackle Mitchell Schwartz, also questioned Butker's choice of Taylor Swift lyrics.
The wife of former Kansas City Chiefs player Mitchell Schwartz has joined a growing chorus of critics in rebuking Harrison Butker’s ultraconservative college graduation speech.
On Wednesday afternoon, Brooke Schwartz blasted her husband’s longtime teammate’s remarks as “so gross and backwards” in a series of posts on her Instagram stories.
“This is what we’re telling young women graduating college? That the most important thing they can become is a homemaker??? What in the Handmaid’s Tale is this crap,” she wrote.
“I value and respect whatever a woman chooses for her life,” she added. “But it is NEVER, EVER a man’s place to tell women what their roles are.”
Butker, a Kansas City Chiefs kicker, sparked a media firestorm last weekend after delivering a commencement speech at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, in which he railed against abortion rights, the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities and President Joe Biden’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
