Conservative KC Chiefs Kicker Butker Also Suffers Blue Wave?!?

Politics and sports have long been intertwined and now the infamous right-wing remarks of Harrison Butker have resurfaced yet again as jeers from fans and criticism of his play is trending despite a decisive Kansas City Chiefs victory over the Jets this weekend. 

A sampling of word sent our way . . .  

"Man, Butker has become a liability. It’s one thing to have to listen to his outdated, conservative lectures off the field, but now he’s actually costing us points on it? Missing those crucial kicks is unacceptable for what he's getting paid. Time to bench him and bring in someone who focuses on football instead of politics."

The push for a coaching decision . . . 

"Seriously, how long is Reid going to tolerate this? Butker’s recent misses are killing our momentum, and frankly, his loud anti-feminist rants over the years make it even harder to root for him when he’s playing this poorly. If you're going to talk that much outside the game, you better deliver on the field. Bench him already."

In fairness, a SIGN OF SUPPORT from one of our longtime TKC readers . . .  . . . 

"Stay strong, Harrison! True Chiefs fans know how vital you've been to our championship runs. Love that he stands firm in his conservative values and doesn't back down from what he believes in. Every kicker goes through a rough patch, but he’ll find his rhythm again. Looking forward to watching him bounce back and clutch it out for us as the season goes on!" 

And all this begs the question . . .

IS CONSERVATIVE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS KICKER HARRISON BUTKER ALSO A VICTIM OF THE BLUE WAVE??? DID HIS OUTSPOKEN OPINIONS MAKE HIM A TARGET?!?

 We think there might be a decision coming soon with some implications on this sordid topic.

"It's been a tough season for Butker, who for several years was among the most reliable legs in the league, but has seen a steep decline in his accuracy this season.

"The Chiefs made headlines, not many of them positive, last week when they signed kicker Justin Tucker to their practice squad, and it remains to be seen if he will get a call up to the main team in the wake of Butker's continued struggles."
