Kirk, 31, was shot and killed on Wednesday while talking to Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.The tribute took place about 25 minutes before the excavation. The notification at the stadium said: “The National Football League asks you to join us at the moment of silent reflection after the murder of Charlie Kirk. NFL condemns all violence in our communities. It will all take us to stop hatred.Former President Donald Trump confirmed Kirka’s death on Wednesday and later said that he would posthumously award him the presidential medal of freedom.

Fans say that the tribute to Charlie Kirk nfl felt and missed
Fox News Senior NFL writer Armando Salguero shared a video of silence. The MLFoothall account also sent a clip and described this moment as a homage throughout the league. However, the critics said that the execution fell.One frustrated fan wrote in participation: “They did it when the stadium was not even half an hour ago, and it went directly. It was terrible.” Another participant added: “It was ridiculous; even on Jumbotron they didn’t even show it.”

Pushback was even stronger on the social media. One user published: “We do only for anyone? Yesterday (and today) was the shooting of school shooting and filming at the US naval academy, but I think it is not important.” Another wrote, “It wasn’t even a moment. He couldn’t count one second of silence.”
Lack of NFL consistency compared to previous public statements brought more criticism
The silence of the NFL in the immediate consequences of Kirka’s assassination frustrated many. In the past, the League has issued a statement about events such as the killing of George Floyd and supporting LGBTQ rights. The absence of a report for Kirk has led some of the NFL accusations of choosing and choosing when to speak.Kicker Kansas City Kicker Harrison Butker published Kirk’s last text message and called him a “strong witness for Christ”. Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson also paid tribute, just like the New York Giants Rookie Quarterback Jaxson Dart, who wrote: “Pray for him and his family. Charlie did great things for our country !! Political violence must stop !!The analyst ESPN Pat McAfee described the shooting as “surprising, sad and crazy”. Former NFL Tim Tebow and Julian Edelman also recognized Kirka’s death.Outside football, New York Yankees organized a moment of silence before their Wednesday game against Detroit Tigers. Trump later appeared at the Yankee stadium during a separate ceremony of September 11th.
