NFL Leaves Sunday Kirk Tributes to Teams After League-Led Silence at Lambeau

Clubs now face decisions in a charged environment following the arrest in Kirk’s killing.

Overview

  • The league said Thursday’s pregame reflection at Packers–Commanders was its call, with any further Week 2 observances left to home teams.
  • MLB told clubs to fly flags at half-staff under a presidential proclamation, and the Yankees and Cubs held moments of silence.
  • Police have arrested an alleged gunman in the Utah campus shooting that killed the Turning Point USA founder.
  • The Carolina Panthers dismissed communications staffer Charlie Rock over social-media posts about the killing.
  • A public memorial is scheduled for Sept. 21 in Glendale, Arizona, and President Donald Trump says he will award Kirk the Medal of Freedom posthumously.
