Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker continues to receive backlash for the opinions he shared during his spring commencement address at Benedictine College regarding the role of women in society. He was the topic of discussion at Thursday night's ESPY Awards.
Tennis legends Serena Williams and Venus Williams, and comedian Quinta Brunson had a personal message for Butker. Venus started the train of thought while Serena and Brunson each added a comment. They said: "You can enjoy women's sports, just like any other sport, because they are sports. Except for you Harrison Butker, we don't need you. At all, like ever."

Butker walked the red carpet before the awards ceremony and presumably was in the audience when this comment was made.
