Jason Kelce appeared to mock Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker on Saturday while criticizing the “evil lies” being told to society about hygiene.
On May 11, Butker gave a highly controversial graduation speech, in which she claimed that “diabolical lies” had been told to women, whom she urged to embrace life as housewives.
And when discussing a much lighter topic: footwashing, Kelce used Butker’s words to make his point.
“You have all been told diabolical lies that washing every crevice of your body and hair, all the time, is somehow better or healthier,” Kelce wrote on X, while discussing whether one should wash their feet.
‘Any dermatologist who isn’t in bed with Big Soap will agree! Hot spots are all that is needed and actually lead to clearer, healthier skin.

And Jason Kelce seemed to mock the Chiefs kicker on X by discussing a very different topic.
The legendary Eagles center made the claim after a fan wrote, “Jason Kelce doesn’t seem to wash his legs or feet.”
To that, he replied: ‘What kind of weirdo washes his feet…?’
Previously, while on his ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother Travis, Jason defended Butker’s right to make the comments, although he noted that he did not agree with Butker’s views.
“Talk about family,” Kelce told New Heights. ‘I don’t think we have enough people talking about the fundamentals of family and the seriousness of parenthood.
‘If you are going to embark on being a father, I think it should be the most important thing in your life. If his children are not the most important thing in his life and that of his wife, in my opinion he is failing.
‘I also don’t think women, for the most part, are the problem here. I think there is a much bigger problem with the other gender in terms of raising children.
‘We’ve played our entire career with people we don’t align with at all. I don’t know, I have played with a partner who he and I have agreed on everything that each of us thinks. And that’s the beauty! They find a way to work together.’
Travis Kelce took a similar tone.
‘When it comes to his views and what he said in the St. Benedict’s commencement speech, those are his. I can’t say I agree with most or any part of it other than that he loves his family and his children.
“And I don’t think I should judge him for his views, especially his religious views, on how to live life, I’m just not like that.”
Kelce and his wife Kylie have two children. Jason defended Butker’s right to make those comments.
Travis Kelce said he disagreed with “almost nothing” in Butker’s commencement speech.
Butker drew widespread scorn in the sports world and beyond in his speech at Benedictine College, where he also claimed that men “set the tone of culture.”
In particular, he said: “I think it is you women who have been told the most diabolical lies.” Some of you may go on to have successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that most of you are more excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.
‘I can tell you that my beautiful wife Isabelle would be the first to say that her life truly began when she began to live her calling as a wife and mother. Today I am in this scenario, capable of being the man I am, because I have a wife who supports her vocation.
‘I am beyond blessed with the many talents that God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success was made possible because a girl I met in band class in high school converted to the faith, became my wife and “I accept one of the most important titles of all: homemaker,” Butker concluded.
He also lashed out at “delusional” President Joe Biden, before attending the White House this week.
