| 0:00.0 | So I suppose the new rule in the NFL is that if you kneel for the national anthem and a national |
| 0:05.7 | controversy then engulfs you, you get a million-dollar contract from Nike and the NFL definitely |
| 0:10.9 | attempts for years on end to get you back into the league despite the fact that you stink so much |
| 0:15.3 | that you were benched for the immortal Blaine Gabbard. That, of course, is the story of Colin |
| 0:19.0 | Kaepernick who became rich, even richer than he was, and more famous than he was, after going to the Super Bowl because he knelt for the national anthem. And despite all of the attempts to paint Colin Kaepernick as a victim, precisely the opposite is true. Colin Kaepernick was touted as a hero by large swaz in the mainstream media. He was put on the cover of magazines because he was |
| 0:38.7 | kneeling for the national anthem supposedly because black Americans, like Colin Kaepernick, |
| 0:42.9 | raised in a white household that adopted him, were victims of the white supremacist system. |
| 0:47.4 | Now, fast forward a few years, and the hot controversy of the day in the NFL is a kicker, |

| 1:11.4 | which is Catholic, in which he talked about Catholicism. |
| 1:14.8 | That's all this is. |
| 1:16.0 | And he said things that are very traditional in terms of men, in terms of women, in terms of Catholic theology. |
| 1:22.1 | And this is apparently absolutely outrageous. |
| 1:25.6 | So what did Harrison Butker say that was so wildly offensive that people |
| 1:30.1 | now know his name? And he's a kicker. Nobody knew his name five seconds ago. It's not like Kaepernick |
| 1:33.6 | who was very famous. Harrison Butker, unless you were a big fan of football, you really had no |
| 1:38.0 | idea who this dude is until five minutes ago. But now he's become a national name because the |
| 1:42.1 | media have decided he is the root of all evil. Why? Because he's just saying the same stuff that Catholics have been saying |
