Trey Wingo, a former ESPN broadcaster, is getting ripped to shreds after his remark about Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, who is fresh off of the Super Bowl champion’s reported extension.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs and Butker agreed on a contract extension on Monday, while ESPN‘s Adam Schefter reported that the new contract is a four-year, $25.6 million extension that includes $17.75 million guaranteed.
The new deal makes Butker the highest-paid kicker in the league.
That rubbed Try Wingo the wrong way.
Butker’s offseason has been filled with drama ever since he had his faith-based commencement speech at Benedictine College, where he urged women to embrace the title of “homemaker” and ripped President Biden while adding, “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for the degenerate cultural values and media all stem from pervasiveness of disorder.”
He was ripped for weeks.
Trey Wingo decided to rip him one more time by using that speech to take a shot at his new extension.

“The Harrison Butker extension… making him the highest paid kicker…. underscores the inherent truth of the NFL: the better you are at the job, the more a team is willing to put up with pure and simple,” he wrote on X.
His tweet did not go over well and social media blasted him from every corner of the Earth as they came after Wingo over the “willing to put up with” remark as Harrison Butker was never arrested or convicted of a crime.
Trey Wingo Missed Badly On His Take With Harrison Butker
Trey Wingo may have thought he was in the right, but social media made sure to remind him that Harrison Butker telling women to get in the kitchen does not hold a candle to what other players have done.
There are players like Deshaun Watson he could’ve said his statement about or players who have been caught drunk driving, or some others who have caused accidents from racing.
A valuable lesson was certainly learned.
