And of course, he's really good at kicking the ball far and straight. That helps.
Like I said - it's the stridence that I respect. As there's a political thread for any insights on WHAT he said, I'm simply removing that from the equation for the moment. It's that the dude said it with his chest out knowing full well what the reaction would be.
The guy absolutely 100% believes every word he said there. And the failure of, lets just say typical online opposition, is that they never seem to accept the possibility that their targets may be steadfast in what it is they believe and aren't just saying it for the LOLZ.
I like seeing that kind of steel in a guy who plays football for my favorite football team.
I'll confess that I don't like it when players do the religious stuff on the football field, because I really don't think God should be playing favorites by helping one team over another, and that's what they're claiming when they say and do religious stuff like pointing to the heavens when they kick a field goal or throw a touchdown.
But whatever. I can deal with it, and it's their right to say and do stuff even if it comes across as being kind of dumb. And I am seeing increasing proof each year that god loves the Chiefs more than other teams, so it's possible that I've been wrong all these years.

And he's a devout, extremely proud guy.
If it all went away for him tomorrow, he'd take his $22 million in career earnings, leave the sport and preach the Gospel for the rest of his life, happier than a pig in shit to do so.
Nobody can touch him. And it just pisses them right off.
Be mad on Twitter all you want - he does not care even a little bit.
It's pretty much textbook 'impotent rage' on social media right now. The fact that this simply won't phase him one bit makes his vocal detractors all the more angry.
So in the Harrison Butker Appreciation thread - yeah, I can appreciate the hell out of that kind of self-assurance.
