The Carolina Panthers have fired a member of their communications department due to an “insensitive social media post” following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Wednesday.
The Charlotte Observer reported Thursday morning that Charlie Rock, a football communications coordinator, had been let go in the wake of the post, citing a source.
“The views expressed by our employees are their own and do not represent those of the Carolina Panthers. We do not condone violence of any kind. We are taking this matter very seriously and have accordingly addressed it with the individual,” the Panthers said in a statement posted Thursday morning on X.
A number of X users tagged the Panthers on the social media platform with purported screenshots of the post, which featured an image of Kirk and the message, “Why are yall sad? Your man said it was worth it …” A second slide allegedly featured the song, “Protect Ya Neck,” by the Wu-Tang Clan.
Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed Wednesday while speaking at an outdoor event at Utah Valley University. The father of two was 31 years old.
“The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie,” President Trump wrote Wednesday in a message on Truth Social.
“He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!”

Hope you end up eating out of a dumpster, Charlie.
Of course I’m talking about Charlie Rock.
Did the guy make fun of the dead Christian children the democrat trans shot up last month?
Probably.
Glad the Carolina Panthers were able to draw a line about celebrating murdering conservatives and our children.
The assistant Dean of Students at MTSU was fired for making similar remarks.
I’ve never been so disgusted over Americans. The Democrats have certainly trained millions to be death cult trans zombies.
Too long to put in one end xone. First line in one end zone the second line in the other?
Just spitballin'.
Great end zone slogan. Go for it, NFL!
“””I’ve never been so disgusted over Americans. The Democrats have certainly trained millions to be death cult trans zombies.””””””””
The House had a moment of silence yesterday. Did you see how the democrats acted??? Disgusting.
How about you, now, Charlie? Do you think it was worth it? I predict you’ve slept your last peaceful evening and you’ll have no one to blame but yourself, as you shuffle off to your new job as a custodian at a rundown Hardee’s. Enjoy it, sir.
Notice the Panthers disagreed with him but did not kill him.
Free speech can have consequences but should never be death.
We're sad because we had tens of thousands of dollars taken out of our bank accounts to pay for your "free" public education and you can't write two consecutive sentences without glaring grammatical errors.
These demons are not Americans.
Even more sickening is the fact that his firing over this is probably a resume enhancer when he applies for a job at some leftist organization
If everyone that celebrated was fired, there would be a LOT of job openings. Beyond the pale. Disgusting.
That’s nice, but they’ll likely hire another a-hole to replace them.
Maybe, but it’s not this a-hole.
Infinitely less important than punishing the demons.
Lefties keep saying Kirk said that about it is ok to have shootings to keep the second amendment
but I can’t find any credible source including left media that reports that
