Mike McDaniel offers strong advice following Chiefs’ Harrison Butker speech and comments

Almost everyone has an opinion about Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech from earlier this month.

The Chiefs kicker made several inflammatory comments about women, LGBTQ+ Pride month and U.S. President Joe Biden. His speech caught the attention of almost everyone both in and outside of the NFL world on either side of the aisle.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel didn’t comment on his personal beliefs regarding what Butker said, but he did mention that there’s a lesson to be learned for players following the attention Butker’s speech received.

“I think you do have to open the eyes of the players to their platform if they’re new to the situation,” McDaniel told reporters Wednesday. “I think you have to understand that what you say publicly can be fragmented and last with you forever. I really emphasize that whatever you’re going to say, you better believe it. You just try to educate people to understand the consequences of whatever they do. They have the freedom of choice, and if they want to go that direction, go right ahead.”
