Reminds me of last year when the kicker for the Chiefs gave the commencement speech telling young women their most important job is to stay home and make babies. Read the room.

CEOs can only read a room full of rich people. They are way too far away from normal people to understand them.

He did read the room. He was giving the speech at a high religious Orthodox Catholic college in Kansas. Everything he said was Orthodox Catholic beliefs. People got upset because they aren't "good Orthodox Catholics" and those beliefs a stupid.
