    I am less concerned with his opinion, and more concerned a place invited him to speak to graduates… some of whom I assume were women.

    Yup, we’ve known he’s a hardcore Catholic douche for years here in KC. In his shoes, I’d not be so preachy though. People that preachy get their skeletons dug up.

    He did this during a commencement speech. That makes it even worse. There’s a reason why most commencement speeches stick to genetic themes like believing in yourself or doing great things or remember to give the university money or things like that, and it’s to avoid whatever this was.

    Oh, I fully support his belief in saying what he thinks.

    It’s always good to know where the morons are so you can avoid them.

    I thought kickers usually avoided the kind of brain damage that would explain what could only be described as a blatant attempt to get canceled.

    I wonder if he realizes…

    he’s a dude in tights.

    being chased by other dudes in tights.

    and occasionally, fighting over something called a “pigskin”.

    Also, don’t ask what happens in the dogpile. what happens in the dogpile… stays in the dogpile…

      They are wholly devoted to “conserving” systems that are designed to benefit cis, white, straight, wealthy, men at the expense of everyone else. I’m not sure how that could be “good” no matter how they went about it.
