Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College was bigotry disguised as religion, and these nuns weren’t going to let that slide.
The NFL world has never, and I mean never, talked about Harrison Butker as much as we have this week.
The commencement speech he gave at Benedictine College in Kansas was bad in myriad ways, and I hated it. But I’m actually not here to talk about why I hated it. I’m here to tell you that the Benedictine Sisters of Mt. St.

Let’s get some of the things it didn’t have out of the way.

Shortly before the start of the second round of the PGA Championship, the #1 golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler, was arrested by police. 
Unfortunately, a pedestrian was struck and killed by a shuttle bus in the early hours Friday morning, which is what caused the unusual traffic patterns and created the situation that eventually led to Scheffler’s arrest. 
Police charged Scheffler with a felony, second degree assault of a police officer, along with three other charges.

Ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Alpine announced a new mental health partnership with digital provider JAAQ
A newfound appreciation for mental health struggles is working through the entire sporting world, and Formula 1 is no exception. Just yesterday at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix Lando Norris, speaking at the FIA Press Conference following his win at the Miami Grand Prix, discussed his own mental health journey. The British driver has never been shy about opening up regarding the topic, dating back to his second season in the sport.
Norris is not alone in F1.

The Scottie Scheffler arrest report following his detainment at the PGA Championship has been released and specifically details how an officer’s pants were damaged during the situation.
Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world, was arrested early Friday morning after reportedly ignoring an officer’s instructions to stop his vehicle near the entrance to Valhalla Golf Club. Traffic was at a stand-still near the venue after a man was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus near an entrance to the golf course early Friday morning.

Here’s how flex scheduling works for the 2024 season and how it will impact the back end of the schedule, and particularly Week 15.
The Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots were initially scheduled to clash on Monday Night Football during Week 15 of the 2023 season. To protect our hearts and minds from watching Mac Jones and/or Bailey Zappe throw picks in primetime, the NFL employed flex scheduling to bump Chiefs-Pats into the 1 p.m. ET slot and replace it with Eagles vs. Seahawks on Monday night.

On the Timberwolves, who took a step back to blaze their way toward a Game 7 showdown with the Nuggets.
A common adage when it comes to seven-game playoff series is that there comes a point where adjustments cease to matter; where execution, talent and will take over. To a certain extent, that rings true for most high-level contests between two elite teams, including the current one between the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker received major support from his team on Thursday, thanks to a strong message from Tavia Hunt, wife of owner Clark Hunt. 
Butker caught flack from the liberal media’s usual suspects for a commencement speech at Benedictine College (in Atchison, Kan.) that touted values labeled ‘too traditional’ for modern society. He also tackled topics such as Pride Month and denounced the whole ‘DEI’ movement plaguing America.
Tavia stepped in to promote sanity amid a heavy backlash against Butker for his college address.

Last month, a United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a West Virginia law that bars biological boys from competing on girls’ sports teams cannot be enforced with regard to a 13-year-old who competes on the girls’ track and field team at the athlete’s middle school.
The athlete, known in court documents as B.P.J., returned to competition following the ruling. In the first track & field meet after the court ruling, five girls from an opposing school refused to compete against B.P.J., staging a protest during the meet.

Scottie Scheffler has released a statement following his arrest and the felony charge he now faces ahead of Friday’s second round of the PGA Championship.
Scheffler was put in handcuffs, detained in the back of a cop car, and eventually booked after reportedly driving past an officer instructing him to stop his vehicle near the entrance of the tournament venue.
Traffic was at a stand-still near the venue after a man was tragically struck and killed by a shuttle bus near an entrance to the golf course early Friday morning.
