The Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens did not pay tribute to Charlie Kirk before their NFL games on Sunday following his assassination in Utah this week.
The New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and Dallas Cowboys all halted proceedings before their respective kickoffs to remember the life of the 31-year-old MAGA star.
Daily Mail has contacted the Lions, Bengals and Ravens to ask why they did not honor Kirk.
There are still six NFL games to be played this weekend.

Where’s Claude Raines when you need a good shocked?
So?
The NFL is rightly criticized when they endorse left wing causes (like the “Hands up” garbage). Now, because the teams don’t endorse a right-wing cause, they are criticized.
Play football, not politics.
Nice to know the Miami Dolphins took time. I wonder if local Miami media will acknowledge the action.
Detroit and Baltimore are democrat murder bastions. They glorify and encourage it among their ghetto brethren.
Cincinnati is where the group of cannibal thugs assaulted that British couple with impunity.
For now, let those cities stew in their own juices. A correction is coming where they will be begging for mercy, and none will be given. /spit
Opposing political assassination is not merely a “right wing cause”.
This really had no place at an NFL game any more than the BLM crap a few years ago. I go to games to work…and after that to be entertained.
I know its an unpopular opinion…
Honestly I am right there with you.
“This really had no place at an NFL game any more than the BLM crap a few years ago.”
I love people, and organizations, that know right from wrong and have the courage to proclaim the difference.
you’re right
Green Bay Packers also had a moment of silence before their game with Commanders on Thursday.
I do not look to professional athletes for their opinions. “Shut up and sing” is what I want.
I’d prefer to get information from informed sources, not from pro athletes.
There is no obligation unless they want to for doing this. We can applaud those who do though.
All Blue Shitties spewed their hatred instead. They can KMA.
So why do you retards put the Valentines greetings, “Hug me, I’m black” on the end zones?
They can honor Charlie Kirk or not it is up to the individual teams. But they better not shown any BLM or End Racism BS at us either.
Honestly, thinking an NFL team management has any morals is pretty funny. Spend a few minutes trying to deal with a professional sports organization and you learn pretty quickly they are not nice people.
That said, I don’t care what the guy who stocks the shelves at my local grocery store thinks about politics. Just as they don’t care about mine.
There is a time and place for stuff. Game time is the time for football.
They exist for gamblers. Sure not everyone who watches it is a gambler, but why is the NFL profitable?
A rational response. How refreshing.
