Serena Williams was host of the ESPYs on Thursday night and she everyone at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles chuckling when she took a direct shot at Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butler.
The moment occurred when Serena, her sister Venus Williams and Abbott Elementary star Quinta Brunson were doing a segment celebrating woman sports.
“So, go ahead and enjoy women’s sports like you would any other sports, because they are sports,” Venus said. “Except you, Harrison Butker,” Serena Williams added. “We don’t need you.”
Here’s that moment:

Serena’s shot at Bunker comes after the Chiefs kicker gave a commencement speech at a college graduation in which he discussed how woman should consider pursing the roles as a housewife rather than focusing on their careers.
A lot of people criticized Butker for his comments, saying they were out of line and both of the Williams sisters seem to agree with that sentiment.
