“We don’t need you,” Serena said to Butker, after highlighting the year in women’s sports
Venus and Serena Williams — and Quinta Brunson — championed female athletes at the expense of Harrison Butker during the 2024 ESPY Awards.
During an exchange on stage in which the two tennis icons hilariously flanked the much shorter Abbott Elementary star, the trio shared their observations about the moment women’s sports is enjoying this year, and then set up a punchline in which they pointedly called out the Kansas City Chiefs kicker.
“There are a lot of firsts this year,” Brunson said. “The Texas Rangers won their first World Series, the Florida Panthers won their first Stanley Cup.”
Serena then joked: “And, according to sports media, this is the first [year] ever that women played basketball.”
