The backlash to Harrison Butker’s controversial commencement speech continues, with former SportsNation host Michelle Beadle stepping into the fray.That last part in particular has garnered plenty of flack, with Butker saying women have been ‘diabolically lied to’ on a number of topics, including their role in the workplace.Beadle vehemently disagreed with Butker’s assessment on the ‘Over the Top’ podcast alongside Peter Rosenberg.
‘As a woman, I think everything he said was garbage,’ said Beadle – who has been in sports journalism for over two decades.’But I think the fact that there were women in that audience that were not OK. I mean, granted, there were some that clearly were, but some that weren’t that have come out since and said, what the hell, dude?
‘We just worked our asses off for years. And you’re gonna come in here and tell us that’s all cute and stuff, but what you’re really gonna wanna do is get married and have babies. Then you’ll feel important. Like go f–k yourself.’
‘And by the way, it’s also my freedom of speech to say, go f–k yourself, Harrison Butker. That’s my freedom. I can do that,’ she added.
