Exclusive: Travis Kelce talks Harrison Butker and his opinion while Taylor Swift was also mentioned
Travis Kelce supports Harrison Butker and his right to express his views, even if the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end doesn’t agree with his teammate’s recent controversial comments during a speech at a private Catholic college’s graduation.
During Friday’s installment of the “New Heights” podcast, Kelce became the latest member of the Chiefs — following quarterback Patrick Mahomes and coach Andy Reid earlier this week — to express similar opinions on Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College, during which the Kansas City kicker expressed radical views on gender roles and took shots at abortion, President Biden and Pride month.

“I’ve known him for seven-plus years probably, eight-plus years and I cherish him as a teammate,” Kelce said. “I think Pat said it best where he is every bit of a great person and a great teammate. He’s treated family and family that I’ve introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness. And that’s how he treats everyone.
“When it comes down to his views and what he said at the [Benedictine] commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life. That’s just not who I am.”

Kelce and his co-host/brother Jason Kelce, the recently retired Philadelphia Eagles center and recently hired ESPN analyst, spent several minutes early in the episode discussing Butker’s comments and the reactions they have garnered.
“Make no mistake about it, a lot of the things he said in his commencement speech are not things that I align myself with,” Jason Kelce said. “But he’s giving a commencement speech at a Catholic university and shocker, it ended up being a very religious and Catholic speech.
