Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said on
Wednesday that he did not "necessarily agree with" Butker's
comments but noted he was going to "judge him by the character
he shows every single day."
Kelce had a similar take on the matter while speaking Friday on
his "New Heights" podcast.
"He's treated friends and family that I've introduced to him
with nothing but respect and kindness," Kelce said of Butker.
"And that's how he treats everyone. When it comes down to his
views and what he said (in his) 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."
Kelce did not address the part of Butker's speech in which the
kicker quoted a Taylor Swift lyric.
Butker said, "As my teammate's girlfriend says, 'familiarity
breeds contempt'" -- which references Swift's song "Bejeweled."
