The Los Angeles Chargers trolled Harrison Butker after the Kansas City Chiefs kicker told women during his sexist commencement speech last weekend that their “most important title” should be “homemaker.”
The Chargers creatively released their 2024/2025 football schedule modeled after the computer game “The Sims” on X (formerly Twitter) Wednesday and portrayed Butker, clad in his No. 7 jersey, cooking and cleaning in a kitchen.
The athlete’s Sim could be seen baking a pie, arranging flowers and wiping the kitchen’s counter.

During his controversial speech, he made anti-LGBTQ comments about “dangerous gender ideologies” and President Joe Biden’s “bad policies and poor leadership.”
“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 argued.
The pro football player also referred to Pride Month as an example of “the deadly sins” taught in church, complaining to graduates of the private Catholic college in Atchison, Kan., that queer people have an “entire month dedicated” to their rights.

“I will not tell Mr. Butker to stick to kicking, but I would suggest next time he speaks to women first and listen to someone with a clearer take on where most women find themselves in 2024,” she wrote as part of a lengthy statement.
The NFL also felt compelled to distance itself from Butker’s controversial opinions, sharing in a statement that the league is “steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
