Gray News) – One of ESPN’s top NFL personalities is sharing her thoughts on Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College, which drew significant attention after he said most women graduates are more excited about marriage and motherhood than their professional careers.

 

Samantha Ponder, who hosts “Sunday NFL Countdown” on ESPN, criticized calls for the Chiefs to release the Super Bowl champion kicker because of his comments.

“I think the petition that he should be fired from the Chiefs is totally un-American,” Ponder said on X. “Is a Catholic espousing traditionally Catholic views to a Catholic audience really that shocking?”
