The Los Angeles Chargers trolled Harrison Butker after the Kansas City Chiefs kicker told women during his sexist speech last weekend that the “most important title” should be “housewife.”

The Chargers creatively released 2024/2025 football schedule modeled after computer game ‘The Sims’ On X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday and photos of Butker wearing his No. 7 jersey cooking and cleaning in the kitchen.

“They put Harrison Butker in the kitchen to cook and clean 💀💀💀,” chirp The official NFL Memes account.

“In the kitchen where he belongs,” another user tweeted.

“He said housewife is one of the most important titles out there. “He’s finally getting his moment to shine 🤭,” another added.

Butker, 28, has been facing massive backlash since he spoke at Benedictine College.

During his controversial speech, he made anti-LGBTQ comments about President Joe Biden’s “dangerous gender ideologies” and “bad policies and weak leadership.”

“Things like abortion, artificial insemination, surrogacy, and euthanasia, as well as growing support for degraded cultural values ​​and the media, all stem from widespread chaos,” he said.

The professional football player also pointed to Pride Month as an example of the “deadly sins” taught in the church, and complained to graduates of a private Catholic college in Atchison, Kansas, that gay people have an “entire month dedicated” to their rights.

The widespread rhetoric angered many, including journalist Maria Shriver, who criticized Butker – whose mother is a famous physicist – for his “offensive” speech.

“I will not ask Mr. Butker to commit to kicking butt, but I suggest next time he talks to women first and listens to someone who has a clearer view of the situation most women will find themselves in in 2024,” she wrote as part of a lengthy statement. .

The NFL also felt compelled to distance itself from Butker’s controversial views, sharing a statement that the league is “steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which makes our league stronger.”
