The Kansas City Chiefs will celebrate their second consecutive Super Bowl win at the White House on Friday amid a whirlwind of drama to hit the organization since the clock reached triple zeroes at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas back in February.
The Chiefs topped the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Super Bowl LVIII to win the title. It was also their third win in five years.
Since that game, the Chiefs have been back in the national spotlight for a number of reasons.
Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker drew opinions from both sides of the spectrum over his commencement speech at Benedictine College earlier this month.
The speech, rooted in his Christian beliefs, touched on how women have been told “diabolical lies,” how his wife embraced the role of “homemaker” and attacked President Biden for his beliefs on abortion despite being a Catholic.
“It is now, over the past few days, my beliefs or what people think I believe have been the focus of countless discussions around the globe,” he said on May 24. “At the outset, many people expressed a shocking level of hate. But as the days went on, even those who disagreed with my viewpoints shared their support for my freedom of religion.”
