An online rumor claimed, “Andy Reid let the Chiefs organization know where he stands when he heard rumors they were planning to fire Harrison Butker
On May 18, 2024, X user @ArdorNew posted a screenshot claiming Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid released a statement defending the team’s kicker, Harrison Butker, who faced some backlash following his May 11 commencement speech at Kansas’ Benedictine College, a private Catholic liberal arts school.
The Associated Press reported Butker’s speech featured remarks about women and motherhood, Pride month, and U.S. President Joe Biden’s policies, among other subjects. The official YouTube channel for Benedictine College hosts a video of the full speech, while the National Catholic Register website features a complete transcript.
According to the post, Reid said he would consider retiring if the Chiefs decided to fire Butker from the team for delivering the speech. “If Harrison goes, I go with him,” Reid supposedly said.
According to the Kansas City Star, the Chiefs had not yet issued an official team response regarding Butker’s speech. We also found no trace of Reid releasing a statement.
For further reading, we previously reported on another fake quote originating from a different satirical Facebook page claiming Butker made subsequent remarks in response to the backlash he received following his speech.
