Fans come down hard on Harrison Butker as Chiefs K quotes Churchill on ‘enemies’ - “Shut up and kick the ball”

Harrison Butker recently signed a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs, but it looks like he'll never find peace again as long as he works within the NFL. There's no doubt he's really, really good at his job - the problem lies outside the white lines.

Butker attracted controversy to himself during the offseason. During a speech, he controversially spoke about today's women's role in society, saying "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". It didn't go well, obviously.

As he continues to receive messages about his speech, especially after doubling down on his views, he used a Winston Churchill quote to post a picture of himself kicking during the Chiefs' games against the Detroit Lions. He got roasted by NFL fans for his caption choice:

"Harrison, you are braver than MLK and Jackie Robinson combined. Please marry my daughter.", trolled one fan.

"Bro drops the biggest bombshell that pissed off millions calling for him to be cut. Just for the Chiefs to double down and pay you even more", noted another one.

"I’m not sure he meant 'B*tch make me a sandwich' like you but go off shrimp" was another trolling by a fan.

The Chiefs and the Lions faced each other on Saturday in a preseason game. The biggest news that came out of it was Patrick Mahomes throwing a behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce; Kansas City lost the game 24-23, but results don't really matter in preseason.

How much is Harrison Butker earning now?

The Chiefs kicker is now at a $6.4 million-per-year average, among the highest in the league for players of his position. His new deal also has $17.75 million guaranteed, a large portion for a kicker.

Butker earned the job in 2017 after he took over from Cairo Santos, who got hurt earlier into that season. He has not look back since, turning into one of the best in his position and helping Kansas City win three Super Bowls.
