Hawley is a United States senator from Missouri, but is seeking another term in\u00a0Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Along with Trump, Hawley will also be on the Nov. 5 ballot. The incumbent is a constitutional conservative who fights for religious liberty.<\/p>\n<p>Butker&#8217;s endorsement for Trump is because of the former president&#8217;s pro-life record. The Chiefs kicker is an outspoken athlete that stands firm on his Catholic values.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Butker has made headlines for his political comments. The 29-year-old delivered the commencement speech at Benedictine College that sparked much controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his most viral comments from the speech included his opinion on a woman&#8217;s place in society.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you,&#8221; he said, and added: &#8220;Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since then, Butker has been labeled as a polarizing figure. However, the three-time Super Bowl Champion defended his controversial comments in August.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was really curious as to what people would be saying back to me and I respected all the viewpoints,&#8221; Butker said. &#8220;But in terms of what I said, I prayed about it and I thought about it and I was very intentional with what I said. I stand behind what I said. If people knew me as a person and understood that I was coming from a place of love, not a place of trying to attack of put people down, I only want the best for people. That&#8217;s what I was trying to say there and I think the people that were in that gymnasium all understood what I was saying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Butker isn&#8217;t the first athlete to endorse a presidential candidate.\u00a0Kamala Harris\u00a0and her campaign have created the initiative &#8220;Athletes for Harris&#8221;, which has been supported by Magic Johnson and Emmitt Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker officially endorsed\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0Thursday at a\u00a0Josh Hawley\u00a0for\u00a0Senate\u00a0event. &#8220;I&#8217;m supporting the president that&#8217;s going to be the most pro-life president,&#8221;
