Overview

• After a league-orchestrated Thursday tribute, the NFL left subsequent memorials to host clubs, and teams including the Packers, Jets, Cowboys, Dolphins, Saints, Chiefs, Steelers, Titans, and Cardinals held in-stadium acknowledgments.
• The Ravens, Bengals, Lions, Vikings, Colts, and Raiders declined to hold a specific tribute, the Texans observed a generic moment for all victims of violence and natural disasters, and the Steelers marked flags at half-staff.
• The White House publicly commended organizations that paused to honor Kirk, praising tributes that highlighted his legacy.
• Police have arrested and charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in Kirk’s killing, and authorities have not announced a motive as the investigation continues.
• A large public memorial is scheduled for September 21 at State Farm Stadium, while MLB acknowledgments have been limited to the Yankees and Cubs.
