Harrison Butker was criticized for a religious graduation speech he gave earlier this year. But this did not seem to have a negative impact on his product sales. In fact, the opposite seems to have been the case.

The NFL Players Association has released data on sales of officially licensed NFL player merchandise from March 1 to May 31. The union said the data included sales of products “ranging from adult and youth game jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, bobbleheads, plush toys, socks, face coverings, headbands, figurines, wall decals, backpacks, pennants, photos, drinkware, pet products and more.”

According to the NFLPA, Butker was among the top 20 players in all officially licensed products sold. He ranked 11th on the list, higher than Travis Kelce, Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson, Jared Goff and several others.

It was Butker’s first appearance on the NFLPA’s roster and he is only the second kicker to make it there after Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made it in 2022.

At the start of the camp, Butker dismissed criticism he received for his speech suggesting that women should accept the term “housewife” and criticized President Biden for his stance on abortion, despite himself practicing the Catholic faith.

“I stand by what I say,” he said in August. “I look at the offseason as a kind of five-month period where I can present myself as Harrison Butker as a devout Catholic. And then when the season starts, of course, I try to focus as much as I can on football and not distract the Chiefs.”
