Episode 67: Jon Root: The blowup over Butker

Harrison Butker, kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs, recently delivered a commencement speech at Benedictine College in which he addressed the graduates about leadership failures in the Roman Catholic Church on the issues of abortion, IVF, surrogacy, DEI, and sexuality, and commended the female graduates for their potential future roles as wives, mothers, and homemakers. Butker’s speech provoked intense backlash from several quarters, including the NFL itself. What is behind this furore?

Jon Root, sports analyst and a friend of Butker’s, joins Zach and Dennis to discuss Butler’s speech and the public reaction to it.

About the Green Dragon Tavern Show

“Talking a little treason.” Veteran political operative Zach Lautenschlager and retired MLB pitcher Dennis Sarfate bring breaking news and inside commentary on American culture, politics and business. 

The Green Dragon Tavern is where Paul Revere and the Sons of Liberty gathered in Boston during the American Revolution. “Let us go to the Green Dragon and talk a little treason,” Founding Father Samuel Adams would say, tongue in cheek, according to legend. 

Today, the Green Dragon Tavern Show is where free men and women gather in defense of freedom.
