Though they had a solid start to the year, some of BJ\u2019s teammates gained attention in the media after their win. Harrison Butker<\/a><\/strong> recently was trending on the internet for a controversial commencement speech he gave where he spoke about the LGBTQ+ community, a woman\u2019s title as a \u201chomemaker\u201d and the \u201cdiabolical lies\u201d of abortion, surrogacy, and IVF.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?

The athlete took it to social media to acknowledge his wrongdoings. \u201cToday I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday\u2019s incident\u2026I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities\u2026I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday\u2019s accident,\u201d he wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
