Thousands call for Harrison Butker’s depatures from Chiefs: Will Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes give him the boot?

Harrison Butker’s has been fined $50,000 for ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’ and ‘abusive, threatening or insulting language to officials’ – while also for violating long-standing league rules prohibiting public criticism of referees.

Reid has received a heftier penalty of $100,000 for his comments after the game, which the NFL believes also violated those long-standing rules in place to protect officials.’I think it’s pressure of being a good person,’ he said this week when asked if his outburst came from the pressure of being the face of Kansas City.

‘I try to act in a way that I’m a good role model because I looked up to guys that were on this stage ever since I was a little kid running through the locker room.’

‘I’m just trying to be a good person,’ Mahomes continued. ‘Obviously I care, so my emotions were shown on the football field, which they’ve been shown in good ways, but obviously that wasn’t a good way.

‘But at the end of the day, I’m just trying to be the best perosn that I can be. The face of the franchise, NFL stuff, that’s going to come and go. But if I can show the person I am every single day and that sets an example, that’s what I want to do when my career’s over.’
