Is Serena Williams stirring the pot with her comments on Harrison Butker and Travis Kelce?

Serena Williams took the stage at the ESPYS Awards, and it felt like a roast show. The Kansas City Chiefs squad was not safe, to say the least. Forget Patrick Mahomes and his receiver Kelce for a moment because Harrison Butker is taking all the heat. What’s surprising is that Butker is attending ESPYS right now and Serena’s joke might have made him a laughingstock.

Butker’s comments on gender roles and how women should be ‘homemakers’ attracted so much negative attention that even Patrick Mahomes had to deny knowing him all too well. But Serena Williams is here to add more fuel to the fire. But that’s not all, Serena’s sister Venus Williams didn’t miss the chance to take a dig at the Chiefs’ kicker.

Venus Williams urges the people, saying, “So go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sports because they are sports.” But it looks like Serena Williams already had a punchline ready when she said, “Except for you Harrison Butker, we don’t need you.” The crowd burst into cheers and laughter at what they were hearing from these tennis legends.

About two months ago, Harrison Butker took to a private liberal arts college in Kansas and delivered a controversial commencement speech. Raising eyebrows when talking about President Joe Biden and COVID-19 was one thing.

The Chiefs’ kicker then proceeded to say that women have been told “diabolical lies” about modern society. He’s been getting a lot of backlashes ever since. But it all faded away after a couple of months until the Williams sisters decided to reopen the wound.

However, that is not the only dig Serena Williams took at the Chiefs’ stars. Apparently, Travis Kelce wasn’t safe either.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Serena Williams stirring the pot with her comments on Harrison Butker and Travis Kelce?

Have an interesting take?

When did Travis Kelce fall behind Taylor Swift?

Serena jokingly undermined Travis Kelce during a segment where she said, “[…] Patrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend won the Super Bowl,” giving the crowd a huge bang for their buck. The Chiefs’ players in the crowd might be hiding their faces, knowing another joke could land on them. Who knew the Williams sisters were comedians too? Or maybe Tony Hinchcliffe is ghostwriting their scripts. Who knows?

Hey Travis Kelce fans, you don’t need to be upset about the whole thing. It’s a joke. Taylor Swift is the arguably most popular celebrity on this planet so far, and her association with anything would shine a light on her. It isn’t like Kelce didn’t have 7 straight 1,000+ yard seasons before this one. In the end, Taylor Swift didn’t score 3 touchdowns in the postseason, Kelce did.
