'Catholics watch games, too': Catholic groups raise alarm after NFL stiff-arms Harrison Butker - Washington Times
Conservative Catholics want to know if the NFL’s commitment to “inclusion” includes them after watching the league distance itself from Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker.

CatholicVote President Brian Burch fired off a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt raising concerns about the league’s chilly reaction to the Pro Bowler’s May 11 commencement speech espousing traditional values at Benedictine College.
“We understand not every American, or NFL fan for that matter, may share the same opinions or beliefs as Mr. Butker,” Mr. Burch said.
“We are hopeful, however, that you do not intend to send a message to Catholics, or to those that still uphold basic moral tenets of a civilized society, that they are outsiders and no longer welcome.”

He added: “To paraphrase a famous quote from NBA star Michael Jordan, ‘Catholics watch NFL games, too.’”
The NFL said it remains committed to “inclusion” following the backlash over Mr. Butker’s comments, which included criticizing abortion, taking a jab at Pride Month and stressing the importance of traditional family roles.
