Jason Kelce appeared to mock Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker on Saturday, as he railed about the ‘diabolical lies’ told to society about hygiene.
On May 11, Butker delivered a highly-controversial commencement speech, in which he claimed that ‘diabolic lies’ had been told to women – whom he urged to embrace lives as homemakers.
And in discussing a far lighter topic – feet washing- Kelce used Butker’s words to prove his point.
‘All of you have been fed diabolical lies that washing every crevice of your bodies and hair, all the time is somehow better or healthier,’ Kelce wrote on X, as he argued whether one’s feet should be washed.
‘Any dermatologist not in bed with Big Soap will agree!! Hot spots are all that is necessary and actually leads to cleaner healthier skin.’
The legendary Eagles center made the claim after a fan wrote, ‘Jason Kelce looks like he doesn’t wash his legs or feet.’
To that, he replied, ‘What kind of weirdo washes their feet….’
Previously, while on his ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother Travis, Jason actually defended Butker’s right to make the remarks – while noting that he did not agree with Butker’s views.
‘He talks about family,’ Kelce said New Heights. ‘I don’t think we have enough people talking about the foundation of family and the seriousness of parenthood.
‘If you’re going to embark on being a parent, I do think it needs to be the most important thing in your life. If your kids aren’t the most important thing in your and your wife’s life, you are failing in my opinion.
‘I also don’t think women, for the most part, are the issue here. I think there’s a much bigger issue with another gender in terms of raising kids.
‘We’ve played our entire careers with people that we don’t align on with everything. I don’t know I’ve played with one teammate that he and I have agreed with every single thing that each one of us thinks. And that’s the beauty! You find a way to work together.’
Travis Kelce struck a similar tone.
‘When it comes down to his views and what he said at the Saint Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids.
‘And I don’t think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life, that’s just not who I am.’
Butker drew huge amounts of scorn from the sports world and beyond from his speech at Benedictine College, where he also claimed that men ‘set the tone of the culture.’
Notably, he said, ‘I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolic lies told to you. 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.
‘I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say her life truly started when she started living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I’m on this stage today, able to be the man that I am, because I have a wife who leans into her vocation.
‘I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all, homemaker,’ Butker concluded.
He also railed against ‘delusional’ President Joe Biden, before attending the White House this week.
