I don't know if there were any campaigns to get him fired or not.
I just thought it was interesting that he did all of this outside of his job also but never played in the NFL again.
If true that's incredibly effed up. An interesting facet of this is that many, if not all, of the people calling for Butker to be fired would be lined up in support of this gentleman. The sad thing is that everyone should be in support of the rights of both.
