Kansas City 'Separates' With Employee Who Doxxed Harrison Butker Over Earth-Shattering Commencement Speech

The mayor of Kansas City announced that the social media admin responsible for doxxing Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is no longer in that role.

According to Mayor Quinton Lucas, the unnamed person who posted Butker's home city on K.C.'s official social channels has been ‘separated’ from the role following backlash over the reckless post.  

Not wanting to help their cause, OutKick won't share the since-deleted tweet.

The social media admin posted Butker's city as a jab to the Chiefs kicker after he made ‘fiery’ comments during a commencement speech at Benedictine College.

"There's been accountability from the city of Kansas City," Lucas said, as relayed by Fox News Digital. "We all look forward to moving on, letting the Chiefs play, [and] letting the city do what it's supposed to do in delivering basic services."

Kansas City's social media handler disagreed with Butker's comments and used the city's account to condemn the player. 

As OutKick's David Hookstead wrote, "The problem? Butker pushed a conservative pro-family message, encouraged young women to pursue the goal of building a great family, praised his wife as an amazing woman and took shots at Joe Biden."

The mayor correctly pointed out that the admin's behavior was impetuous. An apology was posted on the account, and the original tweet was deleted.

"A message appeared earlier this evening from a City public account," Mayor Lucas previously commented. "The message was clearly inappropriate for a public account. The City has correctly apologized for the error, will review account access, and ensure nothing like it is shared in the future from public channels." 

Like many sports controversies, the Butker dilemma spotlighted the outrage mob embedded in sports media that supports cancelation over conversation. 

Butker's comments were painted as misogynistic — an NFL official even spoke out to ‘separate’ the league's identity from Butker's touting of conservative principles rather than supporting his right to free speech.

While the noise occurred off the field, Chiefs personnel banded around Butker, supporting him on social media and before the media.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes received praise this week for standing up for their kicker, calling back on the man's character from his seven years in Kansas City instead of reacting to the public noise against Butker.

Even KC's defensive stalwart Chris Jones stepped up shortly after Butker's backlash to support his teammate.
