Patriots Coach Says His Player Must Be “Educated” to “Be Inclusive” After Posting Bible Verse in Support of Christian NBA Player

. . .Yesterday, we reported that the Chicago Bulls booted a vocal Christian player, Jaden Ivey, after he posted a video discussing how people get canceled and censored for disagreeing with gay “Pride” events.

NFL player TreVeyon Henderson, who is known for regularly posting Bible verses to social media, saw the news and responded to it with a retweet and another Bible verse:

Instead of defending his player’s right to religion and freedom of expression, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel (gently) threw Treyveon under the woke bus.

He praised Treyveon’s character and attitude, and said he appreciates Treyveon’s faith, but then Vrabel said this:

I want them to be able to express what they believe … but also want to make sure that they’re educated. We want to be inclusive … We represent the team and we represent the organization.

VIDEO: ‘Trump Dance’ Celebrations Explode Across the NFL: Lions, Titans, Raiders, 49ers Join In

The “Trump Dance” appears to be exploding across the NFL. It started with the 49ers’ Nick Boas last week, who celebrated sacking the Dolphins quarterback by performing a little Donald Trump dance. But now, players on three other teams have joined the dance craze.

First up was Bosa, who performed his take on Trump’s hilarious little double-fisted low pump after he sacked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield in the 49ers win. . .

Early in the NFL’s Sunday schedule, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers did his version of the Trump dance as he celebrated a third-quarter touchdown. . .

The Detroit Lions’ Za’Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez also broke out in the Trump dance on Sunday:

The Tennessee Titans’ Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also jumped to their feet to perform the Trump dance after making a touchdown Sunday:

Watch: 49ers Nick Bosa Appears To Perform ‘Trump Dance’ Sack Celebration

Nick Bosa appears to have found yet another way to express his support for Donald Trump on the field Sunday, this time by performing what appeared to be a Trump dance after sacking Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Of course, Bosa ended up having to pay a $11,000 fine for interrupting a TV interview of teammate Brock Purdy after the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27.

Now, Bosa is at it again after he sacked Mayfield on fourth-and-23 for the Buccaneers, leading to a punt. After the sack, it appeared that Bosa emulated Donald Trump’s little campaign even dance.

The resemblance might seem obvious:

This NFL Player Confirms He Turned down Opportunity to Become RFK Jr.’s VP

The rumors that Aaron Rodgers had been legitimately offered the opportunity to retire and become Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate were true.

Speaking to reporters at the Jets facility on Tuesday, Rodgers was asked how serious the talks between him and RFK Jr. were regarding him becoming the Independent candidate’s vice presidential selection.

As Rodgers explained, it was quite serious.

“I love Bobby,” Rodgers said. “We had a couple of really nice conversations. But there were really two options — retire and be his VP or keep playing. And I wanna keep playing.”

Rodgers has been a vocal supporter of Kennedy and a fan of his stances on vaccinations. (Read more from “This NFL Player Confirms He Turned down Opportunity to Become RFK Jr.’s VP” HERE)

Woke Sports Writer Demands Harrison Butker Lose His Job to a Woman — But He Accidentally Makes Ironic Admission

The Kansas City Star published an essay demanding that the Kansas City Chiefs drop kicker Harrison Butker and hire a woman as his replacement. . .

As punishment for expressing his personal views, journalist Peter Hamm said Butker deserves “poetic justice” for his “Neanderthal outburst”: losing his job to a woman. . .

Hamm, who has connections to Democrats and liberal advocacy groups, claimed that successful female soccer players and a few examples of women attempting placekicking at the collegiate level are sufficient evidence to prove “the fact that girls can kick.” He even suggested that Maya Turner, a placekicker at the University of Manitoba, could be as good as Butker one day.

Then, in a bout of extreme irony, Hamm revealed his own views on the ability of female placekickers.

“Harrison Butker is not Patrick Mahomes. He’s a special teams player. That gives him less leverage with the team,” Hamm wrote. “They could trade him for a solid kicker, or they could make a statement by signing a woman to kick.” (Read more from “Woke Sports Writer Demands Harrison Butker Lose His Job to a Woman — But He Accidentally Makes Ironic Admission” HERE)

Kansas City ‘Apologies’ for Doxxing Star Kicker Butker Over Catholic Beliefs — But That’s Not Enough for the Missouri AG

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, 28, gave a commencement speech last weekend at Benedictine College wherein he dared to articulate beliefs anchored in the millenniums-old moral teachings of the Catholic Church, now codified in the Catechism and followed by millions of Americans nationwide.

The three-time Super Bowl champ drew the ire of radicals in the liberal media and political establishment for doing so — for echoing the late Pope John Paul II in noting that “abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.”

The kicker further enraged leftists by celebrating the institution of marriage, the vocation of motherhood, the link between male weakness and cultural dysfunction, the sinfulness of pride and Pride month, and by highlighting the incompatibility of President Joe Biden’s professed faith and his views on abortion. . .

Kansas City’s X account posted, “Just a reminder that Harrision Butker lives in …,” then provided the location where the kicker could be found.

This tweet, which was posted at 7:41 p.m. on Wednesday, qualifies as textbook “doxxing,” defined as the public identification or publication “of private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge.” (Read more from “Kansas City ‘Apologies’ for Doxxing Star Kicker Butker Over Catholic Beliefs — But That’s Not Enough for the Missouri AG” HERE)

The NFL’s Condemnation of Harrison Butker Exemplifies the Left’s Anti-Christian Bigotry (VIDEO)

It didn’t take long for the NFL to come out and condemn recent remarks from Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, saying his views, given during a commencement speech at Benedictine College over the weekend, “are not those of the NFL as an organization. The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”

What horrible, non-inclusive things did the 28-year-old Butker say? He committed the crime of giving public witness to his faith, espousing views every faithful Catholic holds — along with a great many non-Catholic Christians.

“Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia as well as a growing support for degenerate cultural values and media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder,” he said. Butker also heaped heartfelt praise on his wife, Isabelle, and told female graduates that whatever career success they might achieve, their most important title will be “homemaker.”

“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,” he said, eliciting spontaneous cheers from his audience.

This was too much for the NFL — an organization that, as my Federalist colleague Sean Davis noted on X, “was quicker to condemn Butker for being a Christian than it was to condemn Ray Rice for caving in his fiancée’s head on camera and then dragging her lifeless body through the hall.”

‘All These Rules for Nothing’: Former NFL Star Goes on Absolute Tirade Against Airport TSA

. . .TJ Ward, an ex-NFL safety, is sick and tired of airport Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents making contact with his private parts.

An eight-year NFL veteran who last played in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ward launched an absolute nuke in the direction of airport TSA, specifically at their security checks. And this came after he took a trip recently which reportedly got a little too touchy and that Ward straight-up wasn’t a fan of.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Ward went on a tirade against airport TSA security personnel, claiming they’ve been pulling him aside to worry “about [his] ball sack.” . . .

Basically, he got patted down, and according to Ward, it was more him being sexually assaulted — and that’s a quote! . . .

Now, fortunately for me, I usually always pass through the metal detectors with no problem, but I’ve always felt like TSA goes a bit overboard with their security measures. I mean, yeah, I get it, we’ve gotta stay safe and all that jazz, but do any of y’all really like getting groped by the TSA?

Harrison Butker Was Wearing a Scapular When He Kicked Super Bowl-Winning Field Goal

NFL kicker Harrison Butker was spotted wearing a Brown Scapular before nailing a Super Bowl-winning 27-yard field goal for his Kansas City Chiefs over the Philadelphia Eagles.

In his postgame press conference Sunday night, the practicing Catholic once again gave “all glory to God,” just like he did two weeks prior after kicking the Chiefs to an AFC Championship victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

“You just got to go out and focus on what you can control — and I kind of had the easy job there,” he said, according to Arrowhead Pride. “The offensive line did a great job blocking. Great snap, great hold — and thankfully, that ball went through. All glory to God.”

Butker is a noted devotee of the Traditional Latin Mass. Last year, in an interview with National Catholic Register, Butker defended the Latin Mass from the restrictions imposed by Pope Francis’ motu proprio Traditionis custodes.

“I feel like I’m almost not welcome in the Church for wanting to go to the Latin Mass and for wanting to have a traditional confirmation for my children,” he said. “I feel like I’m a lesser-than Catholic and not part of the Church because I want to attend the traditional rite. But that’s not the reality at all. I want to be obedient to the Church. I want to stay within the Church. It seems like I’m getting persecuted just because I have a love for the traditional rite.”

Damar Hamlin Makes First Remarks on Video Since Suffering Cardiac Arrest

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin made his first remarks on video Saturday evening since going into cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game earlier this month.

Hamlin collapsed with about six minutes left in the first quarter during the game against Cincinnati after he tackled Bengals receiver Tee Higgins following a 13-yard catch. After the tackle, Hamlin stood up, took a step backward, and fell to the ground. . .

“Now that my brothers have closed out a strong, winning season, as I continue to make so much progress recovering, I think it’s finally a good time to share a few things,” Hamlin said in a video that he posted to Instagram. “I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time, as it was just a lot to process within my own self mentally, physically, even spiritually, it’s just been a lot to process. But I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of all the love, all the support, and everything that’s just been coming my way.”

“What happened to me on Monday Night Football I feel is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world, and I’m able to give it back to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most, and that’s always been my dream. That’s always been what I stood for and what I’ll continue to stand for.” . . .
