This is shocking.
The NFL is facing major backlash after most teams refused to honor slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, leaving many conservative fans outraged at what they see as a blatant double standard.
On Thursday Night Football, the league organized a brief moment of “silent reflection” at Lambeau Field before the Packers vs. Commanders game to acknowledge Kirk’s murder.
Shockingly, neither team participated. Players stayed inside their locker rooms while the short memorial took place, angering millions who tuned in expecting a respectful tribute.
Now, as 13 NFL teams prepare to host games on Sunday, it remains unclear how many will step up and pay tribute to Kirk — if any at all.
Only One Team Confirmed to Honor Kirk
In a stunning revelation, the Miami Dolphins are the only team to confirm they will hold a pregame moment of silence for Kirk, who was gunned down at age 31 during one of his signature campus rallies in Utah.
The Pittsburgh Steelers flatly stated they will not hold a moment of silence but will fly their stadium flags at half-staff — a minimal gesture, at best.
President Donald Trump issued a Presidential Proclamation on September 10 ordering all U.S. flags on federal property to be lowered in Kirk’s honor through Sunday evening.
However, NFL stadiums are not federal property, meaning teams are not required to comply.
The Kansas City Chiefs have not yet made an official announcement.
But Tavia Clark, wife of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, shared a heartfelt Instagram post mourning Kirk, calling him a “courageous champion of faith, freedom, and the future of America.”
She urged Americans to pray for Kirk’s widow and young children as they face unimaginable grief.
Meanwhile, other teams like the New Orleans Saints have offered vague, non-committal responses — while 10 franchises refused to respond at all.
NFL’s 2020 Activism Comes Back to Haunt Them
The league’s hesitation has not gone unnoticed, especially when compared to 2020, when all 13 teams currently hosting Sunday games spoke out loudly after the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.
- The Cincinnati Bengals issued a powerful public statement and pledged $250,000 to social justice initiatives in Floyd’s name.
- The Baltimore Ravens held a nine-minute and 46-second period of silence via Zoom to honor Floyd.
- Saints owner Gayle Benson declared at the time:
“There are no words that can properly honor the life of George Floyd.”
Today, none of those same owners or teams have released even a single statement acknowledging Charlie Kirk’s cold-blooded murder.
This glaring silence is fueling accusations of hypocrisy and has reignited calls for conservative Americans to boycott the NFL altogether.
Fans Accuse NFL of Political Bias
Conservative fans across the country are furious.
Many see the NFL’s reluctance to honor Kirk as proof that the league only supports certain political causes, while ignoring conservative voices — even when tragedy strikes.
“If this had been a left-wing activist, every team would have been falling over themselves to issue statements and tributes,” one angry fan wrote on social media. “This is proof the NFL thinks conservative lives don’t matter.”
Why This Matters for America
Charlie Kirk was more than a political activist — he was a leading voice for faith, family, and freedom, inspiring millions of young Americans to embrace conservative values.
His assassination has sent shockwaves through the nation.
President Trump himself personally honored Kirk’s memory, calling his death a “tragic loss for the entire country.”
Yet the NFL, one of America’s most powerful cultural institutions, appears ready to sweep this tragedy under the rug.
NFL’s Future at Stake
This growing controversy could have massive consequences for the NFL.
If conservative fans begin turning off their TVs and boycotting sponsors, the league risks losing billions in revenue.
Already, many Americans are vowing to never watch another game until the NFL shows respect for Charlie Kirk and his family.
The message from fans is clear: “Honor all lives equally — or lose our support.”
Bottom Line
- Only one NFL team has confirmed a pregame tribute to Charlie Kirk.
- Ten teams have refused to comment or respond.
- In 2020, these same teams publicly honored George Floyd and other left-wing causes.
- Fans now see a deep political bias within the league.
The NFL’s decision in the coming days will show whether it truly stands for all Americans, or just the causes that fit its political agenda.
And I STILL never watch the No Fans League, and haven’t watch those assclowns fpr almost TEN YEARS, they ALL SUCK, PERIOD!!!
These privilege, rich, spoiled peanons could care less as long as the dollars roll in.
Stop going to all NFL games and see how they lie it.
The NFL has lost its moral high ground, they honor a blatant CRIMINAL, and refuse to honor an assassinated hero who America and the world Love. It’s time to stop going to and paying for NFL games, period.
Boycott NFL and sponsors,,,
NFL continues to isolate themselves from balanced responses to national issues. To honor Floyd and not Charlie Kirk shows a complete deafness to the public heartstrings. Each team could pledge a few thousand dollars to Turning Point, if they don’t want to have a moment of silence. They should ask the players their preferences. The liberal ownership cannot hide any further from their hypocrisy. Fans really see this as a slap in the face, and NFL will be just another “trash bin” company like Target, Cracker Barrel, and Anheuser/Bush.
Well I stopped watching any sports over a decade now and to be honest with everyone I don’t miss it..
I WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER NFL, NIGGAH FOOTBALL LEAGUE GAME. THEY ARE THE BIGGEST ANTI-AMERICANS IN AMERICA TODAY. AND THEY WANT A HANDOUT FROM THE AMERICA PEOPLE. SICKENING TO SAY THE LEAST.
I WILL NEVER WATCH ANOTHER NFL GAME.
I’m WAAY ahead of the curve. Had no TV in 30+ yrs. What they do is USELESS, makes zero actual difference tomorrow. Sportscasters have the hardest job in the world, trying to come up with sane commentary on the insanity of a bunch of grown men killing each other trying to get a goofy “ball” up and down a field.
The NFL has lost our viewership for our family (4 households). Despite what your beliefs are, murder is murder. Football has always been a family affair. When the NFL abandons family values, they will loose viewers. No viewers equals no money.
Vote with your feet and boycott the NFL GAMES at the STADIUMS; Vote with your TV remote by not watching at home! The NFL TEAMS AND THEIR COMMERCIAL SPONSORS obviously don’t have any common decency or human compassion for anyone who is not in lockstep with their evil ideology and pure unadulterated hatred for those not of their ilk. Let them stew in their own juice.
This is the last insult from the NFL. Turn them off. They really don’t about their viewers.
THE COWARDLY NFL HAS BENT A KNEE TO THE SATANIC DEMOCRAT PARTY AND NOW OWNED AND OPERATED BY THEM !!
THE NFL IS A BIG JOKE. NOT ONE OF THESE SO CALLED PLAYERS IS DOING FOR THE SPORT. IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.IT IS SICKENING WATCHING THESE GUYS. LOOKING LIKE SOME CHEAP PIMPS. NOTHING MANLY ABOUT ANY OF THEM.
WHY PEOPLE WASTE THEIR MONEY WATCHING THESE CLOWNS, IS A BIG PUZZLE.
MAYBE IF THEY LOOKED CLEAN CUT , HAD SOME INTEGRITY. LOVE FOR THE COUNTRY THAT MAKES THESE LOOSERS RICH.
NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF TRAITORS TO AMERICA.TIME TO STOP THE NFL. THEY DO NOT TEACH OUR CHILDREN ANYTHING.
NOT ONE OF THEM COULD CARRY WATER FOR CHARLIE KIRK. IT IS A INSULT TO EVEN MENTION CHARLEY IN THE SAME BREATH AS THESE TOTAL LOSERS..
One more reason the new title for the NFL is the National Felons League. A no watch bunch of over paid morons and money grabbers.
