Joe Burrow Foundation Ousts Advisory Board Member Over Posts on Charlie Kirk Killing

The group said the unnamed member's remarks conflicted with its mission.

Overview

  • The foundation announced Friday it terminated an advisory board member for “inappropriate remarks” and removed an advisory-board listing from its website.
  • Multiple outlets identify the removed member as Hamilton County municipal court Judge Ted Berry following reports of his Facebook comments.
  • Local reporting attributed quotes to Berry including “Rest in Hatred & Division!” and “How’s he feel about gun violence & gun control in Hell, now?”
  • Berry told the Cincinnati Enquirer he does not condone violence and said he regrets causing division.
  • Ohio State Rep. Adam Mathews called for Berry to resign, as the case over Kirk’s Sept. 10 shooting at Utah Valley University continues with a suspect reported in custody.
