Harrison Butker is a placekicker for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was apparently chosen to give a commencement speech at a Catholic school in the area near Kansas City (of note, he went to school in Georgia). The speech was politically charged.

Butker ripped President Biden and his hypocritical stance on abortion, took an unveiled shot at Pride Month, unmasked some of the lies born during the Covid crisis, addressed the "tyranny" of diversity, equity and inclusion policies, and lifted women as mothers, wives and homemakers to counter the "diabolical lies" they've been fed by society.
He also discussed men's and women's roles in the household. Notably, he encouraged embracing the role of a homemaker.
This set off a firestorm in the press and online.
Several thousand signatures have been collected in multiple petitions on change.org to have him fired from his team.

Numerous news outlets have published stories on the "controversial" speech, many misrepresenting it.

The NFL has decried the views expressed in the speech.

The current cherry on top is that the Twitter account for the city of Kansas City tweeted out the city that Butker lives in.

Whether that is really a doxx is questionable (at least to me), but the point remains that a city publicly singled out a person for his views to at least distance itself from him. The twxtter account also apparently liked some approving responses before deleting the tweet and apologies-ing for it being 'shared.'
Details about the city doxxing the player?
The city's Twitter account stated the city/town that Butker resides in. Something like "By the way, Harrison Butker lives in ____."
I don't think that fully counts as a doxx, but that's what the blogger and now Missouri's attorney general are calling it.
If Trump tweeted Kapernik's city it would be considered doxxing.
"Just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in the City of Lee's Summit."
There. That's what it said.
Meh.
In any other context it would be a "call to action." It's a starting place for any doxxers to begin searching, and carries the ultimate threat of "we'll find you." I don't blame MO's AG at all.
There's screenshots still out there, if you Google it.
It's not that hard to find, and I wouldn't really call it a doxx.
Stupid, and totally unnecessary? Yes. But calling it a "doxx" just plays into the culture war saga of this whole thing, imho...
It's a "city" of over 100,000 people. It's not a street address, lol.
