The NFL will condemn traditional values but won't condemn all the woman-beaters in their league. Wow.

The NFL has publicly condemned Harrison Butker’s private political opinions. Has the league ever publicly condemned any other player’s private political opinions or comments for any reason? I can’t recall it. https://t.co/dub6zb3S9T

NFL DEI officer, Jonathan Beane, said, "[Harrison Butker's] views are not those of the NFL as an organization." Will the NFL issue a statement distancing itself from Vince Lombardi's values? After all, Vince Lombardi was a devout Catholic, attending Mass every day. From the Catholic Herald, the archdiocese of Milwaukee:TALE OF TWO CHIEFS:

On March 9 at the Men of Christ conference, New Orleans Saints quarterback coach Joe Lombardi, grandson of legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, spoke to a crowd of men some old enough to remember his grandfather. “The Lombardi family, there’s always going to be a part of us, a part of our hearts here in Wisconsin, so every year I do love coming back to this state,” Lombardi said. Like his grandfather, Lombardi is a devout Catholic and a member of Our Lady of the Lake Parish, Mandeville, La. “Getting up and sharing my faith is not something that comes naturally to me; it’s not something that I’m very comfortable with,” Lombardi said. Walking out on stage at the Milwaukee Theater while a piano played, “When the Saints Go Marching In,” Lombardi told stories about his grandfather and his faith. “His faith was very important,” Lombardi said, adding his grandfather spent three years in the seminary. “He went to Mass every day and received the Eucharist. And Bart Starr would tell you if you heard him every afternoon at practice, you’d understood why he had to go to Mass everyday.” He told the crowd his grandfather had three priorities in his life: faith, family and the Green Bay Packers.Will the NFL rename the Lombardi Trophy?
