Chiefs owner supports kicker Butker's political action committee for traditional values
Summary: Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt supports kicker Harrison Butker's new political action committee, UPRIGHT PAC, which aims to mobilize Christian voters for "traditional values." Hunt emphasized the importance of players using their platforms for advocacy.
Butker announced the PAC during the Chiefs' bye week, aligning with Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley. The PAC's website claims to defend values it sees as under attack in society, including in schools and government.
The NFL distanced itself from Butker's previous controversial comments, stating they do not reflect the league's views. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has expressed a different approach, focusing on voter registration and community engagement rather than endorsing candidates.
