LA Chargers troll Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in ‘Sims’-themed schedule release video
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The Los Angeles Chargers garnered plenty of buzz after they trolled Kansas City Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker in their "Sims"-themed schedule release video.
Last weekend, Butker ailed against Pride month, working women, President Biden’s leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic and abortion during a commencement address at Benedictine College.
In the three-minute video, the Chargers flexed their social media muscles and sprinkled in plenty of pop culture references as they poked fun at their opponents based on their weekly schedule.
When it came to Week 4, they showed Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift loading a private jet and in the credits at the end, they took a shot at Butker. The video showed an animated Butker hard at work in the kitchen.
