Jalen Hurts has made a short speech about women at a curious time, earning himself lots of praise online.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback was at the Eagles Women’s Football Festival on Sunday and referred to females as “the rock of everything.”
“Women are thrusted into positions to have to overcome this, overcome that,” Hurts said. “And they always do.. Yet they lack the respect they deserve.. We all know the woman is the rock of everything.”
This comes around a week after Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker made some polarizing comments pertaining to women at a commencement ceremony at Benedictine College in Kansas. The three-time Super Bowl winner encouraged women to embrace their roles as homemakers, sparking rife debate, as well as a petition to get him cut from the Chiefs.
Meanwhile, the Eagles annual event is geared towards allowing women of all ages to interact with current and former Philly players.
Jalen Hurts Means What He Says About Women
When Jalen Hurts praises women, you know he means it. The QB has an all-female management team led by his agent, Nicole Lynn, of Klutch Sports and has been a pioneer in that regard.
Chantal Romain and Shakeemah Simmons-Winter take care of communication for him. Rachel Everett deals with marketing relations and Jenna Malphrus handles management.
Lynn secured what was then the biggest contract in NFL history for Hurts last offseason. The quarterback previously told Sports Illustrated he hired her because he saw something in her that reminded him of himself.
“That turns me up,” he said. “It lights a fire in me. It does something to me, because I know I’ll prove you wrong. But I saw that same fire in Nicole. She said, ‘I’m a woman. People are going to overlook me. People are going to doubt me. They’re not going to give me the due respect. But I’m overcoming it, just like you do.’ And that’s where we really hit it off. We had the same vision.”
