Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence on his teammate Harrison Butker's controversial remarks.

Harrison sparked controversy with his commencement speech at Benedictine College on May 11.

The American footballer described the Pride Month as a "deadly sin" during his speech.

Travis addressed the controversy on the May 24 episode of the New Heights podcast.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end said, "I think Pat said it best where he is every bit of a great person and a great teammate. He's treated friends and family that I've introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness, and that's how he treats everyone.”

He added, "When it comes down to his views and what he said at the Saint Benedict's commencement speech, those are his. I can't say I agree with the majority of it or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids.”

“And I don't think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views, of how to go about life. That's just not who I am,” Travis continued, “It showed me a broad spectrum, just a broad view of a lot of different walks of life.”

Travis noted that everyone has their own opinion and it’s up to us if we want to follow it.
