Avast ye mateys! A scurvy dog in the Kansas City Star be sayin' the Chiefs should give their three-time Super Bowl kicker the ol' heave ho for a lass, all 'cause of a fancy speech! Arrr, what be next? Givin' the parrot the job of coachin' the team? Aye, 'tis a laugh!
In a humorous and exaggerated tone reminiscent of a 17th-century pirate, the Kansas City Star guest columnist suggested that the three-time Super Bowl-winning kicker Harrison Butker should be replaced by a female kicker because they did not approve of his commencement speech. The columnist, Peter Hamm, took issue with Butker's comments about his wife during the speech at Benedictine College, where he credited her for his success and emphasized her role as a homemaker and mother.Hamm argued that Butker should be dismissed from his position and proposed several female kickers who could potentially replace him, including names like Liz Heaston, Ashley Martin, Katie Hnida, and Sarah Fuller. He even suggested the Chiefs consider University of Manitoba kicker Maya Turner as a potential candidate.Despite Butker's impressive performance in the 2023 season and his notable achievements in previous Super Bowls, Hamm focused on advocating for the inclusion of female kickers in the NFL, pointing to the National Women's Soccer League as a potential source of talent. The column humorously called for Butker's job to be given to a professional female ball kicker, highlighting the rich pool of talent available in women's sports.
