NFL Defers Charlie Kirk Tributes to Home Teams as Week 2 Brings Divergent Approaches

The league deferred decisions to hosts after its Lambeau Field tribute.

Overview

  • Following the league-called moment of silence at Packers–Commanders, several Sunday hosts held remembrances, including the Dolphins, Titans, Jets, Cowboys and Saints.
  • Other teams declined to hold a pregame tribute, with the Ravens and Lions not observing a moment of silence, while the Steelers chose to fly flags at half-staff.
  • Later Sunday, additional tributes were reported at the Cardinals’ and Chiefs’ home games, reflecting varied presentations across the schedule.
  • Outside the NFL, MLB asked clubs to keep flags at half-staff and teams such as the Yankees and Cubs held moments of silence.
  • The Carolina Panthers fired a staffer over insensitive posts about the killing, as police said they had arrested the alleged shooter and the investigation continued.
