Tavia Hunt, the wife of the Kansas City Chiefs owner and CEO, showed her support for kicker Harrison Butker.
Butker came under fire after he gave a commencement speech at a Christian college in Kansas. Butker’s speech was based on his traditional Catholic values.
He urged the college graduates to be stay-at-home moms and homemakers.
Brooke Schwartz, the wife of Chiefs player Mitch Schwartz, slammed Butker’s speech, calling it “gross and backwards”.
And former Chiefs cheerleader Stefanie Hill accused him of “failing” PR training and reflecting badly on the team.
However, in a post on Instagram, Tavia Hunt, wife of billionaire team owner Clark Hunt, supported Butker.
Tavia Hunt said she encouraged her daughters to be highly educated and chase their dreams in ways that honor God.
She added that she also wants her daughters to find a spouse who loves and honors them before himself.

“I believe finding a spouse who loves and honors you as or before himself and raising a family together is one of the greatest blessings this world has to offer,” Tavia Hunt wrote.
She said it is not bigoted to affirm motherhood and praise the sacrifice and dedication of your wife.
“It is empowering to acknowledge that a woman’s hard work in raising children is not in vain,” she wrote. “Countless highly educated women devote their lives to nurturing and guiding their children. Someone disagreeing with you doesn’t make them hateful; it simply means they have a different opinion.”
She continued: “Let’s celebrate families, motherhood and fatherhood. Our society desperately needs dedicated men and women to raise up and train the next generation in the way they should go. Proverbs 31:28 says, ‘Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.’”
