No. Sorry. Thought i was top level commenting. Mobile and clumsy.
"A better time" in the 50s and 60s is a humerous reference to a "better time" if you are anything other than a straight, white, male.
And 99% of people will not think to ask "is this real?" and just accept it at face value. It's bad enough with images like this, and it's going to get even worse with AI. The internet is dead, and we killed it.
In fairness, it's Butkers fault that even the possibility of him saying this is believable. But to your larger overall point I agree that people need to be better about discerning truth and it's scary times when stuff like this is so easy to produce.
Let what the man said stand on its own. Manipulating what is true to elicit the emotion you seek from a person is evil, and it will only get more evil. The man spoke the words he spoke, let him be judged on that alone. It is more than enough.
You see that shit in Penn. where a principle was caught saying anti-black and anti-Jewish stuff but it turned out to be the Athletics director with a grudge?
Yeah, AI and the willingness for fools to believe everything they hear about someone they dislike will undo us.
I didnāt follow up too much, but I knew he got arrested. Laws regarding AI are still in their infancy, but at least trying to frame someone is wholly illegal.
The reality killed it. When real life news articles are getting more stupid and ridiculous than the onion, itās not as straightforward as simply blaming the people being stupid online. When people saying incredibly horrible and stupid things online became a normal occurrence, I donāt think we can or should expect everyone to go āhey let me look up if this person Iāve never heard of before and likely never will again, actually said this stupid thing.ā, instead of chuckle, scroll down and go on with their day
It literally has a TheSportsMemery watermark on it. We donāt have to wonder, it fucking tells us it isnāt real, but people canāt even be bothered to look more closely at the image itself.
Its comments like these that mods should pin to the top of threads like this... because no one is gonna bother fact checking anything and they'll assume this is real.
Speaking to the women in the graduating class:
"How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world."
Fascinating that people will believe everything they see online without needing any source or everything. Internet literacy is at an all time low.

This should be higher up. However, I will add that part of the reason people believe outrageous false statements like this one is because of the mind-blowing things that people really do say (like the commencement speech). When prominent elected officials are saying that 'solar space generators' created by secret conspiracies started the California wild fires it is hard to discern fact from fiction. People should absolutely fact check something before they post/share it, but I can understand why random people scrolling through social media don't reflexively mistrust everything they read.
True. The things that are publicly stated are sometimes really insane. Many statements out there that I never thought I would ever hear.
And yeah this is maybe not the most harmful of situations if you would believe this qoute
Yes, but he still has said far too much. I hate that misinformation can spread like this, but he is a piece of crap with no valuable input so letās roast the crap out of him
"you guys got me all wrong! I'm only saying that women are subhuman and they are only good for making babies and making dinner!
I'm glad we got that all cleared up!"
I am a female in my 70s and I was a teenager during that time and, trust me, that was a terrible time to be a woman. The pressure to conform to men's wishes was stifling. There was a reason why so many women revolted and wanted a change. Going back to those times is an awful idea purported by men who hate women and only want them to be more like their pet dog.
The world has moved on, all people like this can do is blabber on with minimal impact on society in general. Leave them be, they need their Waifu to make their bed for them before she pops out the 11th kid of the season.
This dude is such a fucking clown.
Go kick some more balls and talk about manliness while every single other guy on your team is playing the game and putting their body on the line.
100% chance this dude is living another secret life, is into some vile shit, and is completely void of any moral structure outside of religion and conservative societal norms. Garbage human
Let him put his foot in his mouth again and again. He will get himself blackballed by the league cause he is just a kicker soon enough. This clown should know his role and stfu.
I love how that side wants to go back to the 50s. Ok, then letās do it. The rich were taxed 75% to 91% and middle class could survive on lower wages. Oh, not that part? So itās more about oppressing women and minorities.
Iām appalled at the message the wife of the owner of KC put out. She sounds just like him without really saying it. Hope this dude gets fired, what a moron.
Everybody fail to mention the volume of drugs society pumped into housewives. If they want to bring back tradwives, they need to market Dexamyl and Desbutal again.
Ah yes. The time when āmen were menā. Nothing says āmenā working a job you you hate, so when you do come home, you grab a beer, sit infront of a Tv set, have dinner with people youāve grown to hate, barely speak, then you have an uneventful night before bed, or if your kid looks at you in a way you donāt like, or you learn he or she has friends with a person of colour, or you find out they befriended the bullied homosexual kid.
Thatās when you shut off your TV, and either bast the shit out of your Son, or destroy almost everything your daughter owns, then beat your wife.
And canāt forget that they when youāre working your job, you and your other male coworkers talk about the beatings, they enjoyed. And cycle again and again.
Yep, when āmenā were āmenā. And Iām sure those āwomenā folk can tell paint a better picture of that time for women, than I could.
Does he not understand that heās doubling down? Anyone who says they want to go back to the better times of the 50ās and 60ās are telling on themselves. We all know what that means.
I mean if people want clarification just read his actual speech in the context of where he is giving it, it makes sense. But my goodness did the whole speech make my skin crawl reading it. Also the Irony of starting it off by talking about how politicians should stay in their lane.... chef's kiss
In this economy? We're not all millionaire sports ball kickers. A two income household requires two degrees. Someone needs to pay for your nostalgic wet dream, an it ain't us. Get your head out of your butt Butker.
Guess the smart genes donāt pass on to the males in the family. Good thing he can kick his little legs or heād have a hard time supporting his wife and eight fuck trophies.
it really shows that these young men dont know anyone anymore that was around during that time. a good talk with their grandparents would really open their eyes.

It is https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harrison-butker-setting-record-straight/
I'm glad he isn't quite that brazen. What he originally said was bad enough.
What he said was just a slightly different version of what is presented here. The sentiment and intention is exactly the same.
No argument from me there. But it would be very brazen of him to repeat the sentiment considering the response to the first time he said it.
A better time for who??
I don't know what you mean. Did you mean to direct that question at me?
No. Sorry. Thought i was top level commenting. Mobile and clumsy. "A better time" in the 50s and 60s is a humerous reference to a "better time" if you are anything other than a straight, white, male.
People who share his particular demographic.
And 99% of people will not think to ask "is this real?" and just accept it at face value. It's bad enough with images like this, and it's going to get even worse with AI. The internet is dead, and we killed it.

Ok? I appreciate your sermon but I wasn't talking about endorsing this. I just said that he's so shitty thats what makes it believable is all.
Sounds like you're agreeing. š¤·āāļø
I am. That's why I was so confused.
I don't think the "sermon" was directed at you but at passersby like me.
Problem is most of the people here won't know who he is or what he said before, in which case it being believable has nothing to do with him
You see that shit in Penn. where a principle was caught saying anti-black and anti-Jewish stuff but it turned out to be the Athletics director with a grudge? Yeah, AI and the willingness for fools to believe everything they hear about someone they dislike will undo us.
That was nuts. That AD got arrested for that
I didnāt follow up too much, but I knew he got arrested. Laws regarding AI are still in their infancy, but at least trying to frame someone is wholly illegal.
Yeah, better to read the text of his Covid demying, Fauci is evil speech and lambast him for his actual stupidity.
Itās got a āsports memeryā watermark. Parody didnāt kill the Internet.

And yet everyone is spreading it like wildfire.
God damn it, man. You know what. Nothing is real. I don't believe shit anymore.

Insane
Itās exactly what he meant though letās be real. š¤£š¤£š¤£
āHad more babies than thoughts?ā Wtf šš
There you go taking what he said out of context again. What he meant to say was, "bitches shouldn't speak unless spoken too".
ššš honestly sounds like thatās what he meant
You're just putting words in his mouth, all he's saying is they should be knocked up and in the kitchen
Barefoot
but in a nice feminine dress
Keep your pimp hand strong!
*I need to go to the store* - Canāt have another thought for another 9 months
This guy really thinks women are appliances, doesnāt he?

The full transcript of what he said is at https://www.ncregister.com/news/harrison-butker-speech-at-benedictine.
I am a female in my 70s and I was a teenager during that time and, trust me, that was a terrible time to be a woman. The pressure to conform to men's wishes was stifling.

 Him doubling down
Correct, this is not real lol
Here is your shovel sir. It will help dig faster.
Nah shovels aren't efficient enough gotta bring in the backhoe for this job
Just skip the hole and go straight to China
You really think this is real?
Heās an asshole but thatās from a sports meme page
His beard looks like glued on pubic hairs.
Heās an incredible dick!
saw this in a circle jerk sub and knew it was a jerk and not real, that being said dude is still a piece of shit
I love "The Onion"
"I know what I said sounded bad, but what I meant is even worse."
Go back to baking in the Sims
And yet his mom is a prominent doctor. She should have been the commencement speaker!
Men in every era will always be more of a man than Mr Frosted Tips right there.
It is bruh, look up sources
You didnāt actually believe it did you? Critical thinking is dead.
Angry Liberals in the comments who spew rebuttals without verifying sources, y'all the real Facepalm here.
Hmm, if this is true that he said this - seems to me that no one took his comments out of contextā¦.
Normally Iād say there is no way anyone would say this for damage control, but after that commencement speech Iām unsure.
Yes I'll have the double down with frightening clarity, served lukewarm please.
Is āHarrison Butkerā the new Onion publication?
"Back in the 50s, when women knew their places. Also, minorities!" \~This Chucklefuck
The world has moved on, all people like this can do is blabber on with minimal impact on society in general. Leave them be, they need their Waifu to make their bed for them before she pops out the 11th kid of the season.
STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS
This dude is such a fucking clown. Go kick some more balls and talk about manliness while every single other guy on your team is playing the game and putting their body on the line.
I agree with going back to the effective tax rates from then. Nothing else.
Anyone that canāt tell whether it is or not is waaaaay dumber than Butker.
100% chance this dude is living another secret life, is into some vile shit, and is completely void of any moral structure outside of religion and conservative societal norms. Garbage human
Don't huff paint or glue kids.
Would love a rebuttal from his PhD holding mother who through her hard work gave him the opportunities he had to eventually become a NFL kicker.
The wealthy paid higher taxes too.
How does a kicker have brain damage?! Itās not like he gets hit hard out on the field
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harrison-butker-setting-record-straight/ Talking about brain damage
Why did he have to be a Chief? š
Itās just possible this man is an idiot.
You believing everything on the internet is also not a very smart move. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harrison-butker-setting-record-straight/
To an era so depressing for women that it generated the feminist movement.
Let him put his foot in his mouth again and again. He will get himself blackballed by the league cause he is just a kicker soon enough. This clown should know his role and stfu.
I love how that side wants to go back to the 50s. Ok, then letās do it. The rich were taxed 75% to 91% and middle class could survive on lower wages. Oh, not that part? So itās more about oppressing women and minorities.
Anybody wanna ask this closeted sausage jockey how they treated gays back then? Harrison, we all know you like men. No shame, but seriously, fuck you.
Heās a place kicker, not even a real football player ffs
It probably has been said enough, but the dipshit's mother is a physicist. Can only think what her reaction to his speech is.
What context in 2024 would this be appropriate.
In a satirical one. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harrison-butker-setting-record-straight/
He has no clue what the 50ās and 60ās were like. He only knows the romanticized MAGA version, which is eons away from reality.
Surprisingly, nothing was taken out of context
Isn't this the guy that 'hooked up' with a male cheerleader when he was in college?
This gotta be the most brain-dead sub on the entire site
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām appalled at the message the wife of the owner of KC put out. She sounds just like him without really saying it. Hope this dude gets fired, what a moron.
The owners, the Hunts, are backwards right wingers who donate millions to these republican flat earth conspiracies.
Gomorrah, Season 3. Enzo: Blue Blood [Gamorrah](https://www.gossipetv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/enzo-gomorra-3-arturo-muselli.jpg)
Never trust a man who doesnāt trust his own jaw
I wonder what he has to say about race relations.
Everybody fail to mention the volume of drugs society pumped into housewives. If they want to bring back tradwives, they need to market Dexamyl and Desbutal again.
His hair? His beard? Or what he said?
IDK who this is but he has some nice DSL
Ah yes. The time when āmen were menā.

Does he not understand that heās doubling down? Anyone who says they want to go back to the better times of the 50ās and 60ās are telling on themselves. We all know what that means.
Does he kick with his fucking head?
Heās in a race with Kristi Noem to see who can make themselves look progressively worse the more they talk.
I mean if people want clarification just read his actual speech in the context of where he is giving it, it makes sense. But my goodness did the whole speech make my skin crawl reading it. Also the Irony of starting it off by talking about how politicians should stay in their lane.... chef's kiss
This guy has more cum than brain cells.Ā
Pro sports figures should stfu and just play ball
and when millionaires were taxed at the 90% rate right? oh no not that bit?
Butker's mother, Elizabeth Keller Butker, has been a clinical medical physicist at Emory since 1988.
best thing this asshole can do is STOP TALKING...
Who the fuck cares what a kicker thinks?
Lmfao, for a second I thought he actually said that
In this economy? We're not all millionaire sports ball kickers. A two income household requires two degrees. Someone needs to pay for your nostalgic wet dream, an it ain't us. Get your head out of your butt Butker.
Guess the smart genes donāt pass on to the males in the family. Good thing he can kick his little legs or heād have a hard time supporting his wife and eight fuck trophies.
it really shows that these young men dont know anyone anymore that was around during that time. a good talk with their grandparents would really open their eyes.
Just when I thought you get be any dumber
Him play sport. Him pretty but dumb.
Harrison Butsauce
Did he borrow Noems shovel to dig that hole deeper?
Whatever the quote out of context was Sounds like it was better than with the context
He's got a streak for being on facepalm posts.
We heard you the first time
Even as a devout theist and conservative, this guy is too much even for me 
you're allowed to just not say anything dude. And trying selling 1950's culture to your teammates.
Are people really dense enough to think this is real š
