Earlier this month, another Chiefs player, Harrison Butker, made headlines for a controversial speech at Benedictine College’s graduation ceremony.

On May 15, the NFL addressed the speech, stating that the kicker’s views differ from those of the organization.

“Harrison Butker gave a speech in his personal capacity,” Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, told PEOPLE in a statement.

“His views are not those of the NFL as an organization,” the statement continued. "The NFL is steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, which only makes our league stronger.”
