Starting on Sept. 11 during the “Thursday Night Football” game between the Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders, Green Bay and the league itself held a moment of silence for Kirk, who was shot and killed a day prior.
“There have been a variety of moments of silence and tributes in-stadium and on-air in all games or a game immediately following events that rise to a national level,” the NFL said in a statement to multiple media outlets last week, referring to the league’s moment of silence held during the Packers’ home game.
“Clubs also often hold moments following a tragic event that affects their community.
“There have been moments following school shootings or an attack on a house of worship such as the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. There also have been moments following major international incidents such as Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023 and weather-related incidents such as major hurricanes and fires.”
As Jack Phillips reports for The Epoch Times, according to a statement from the White House on Sunday, the New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Arizona Cardinals held moments of silence for or provided a special recognition of Kirk on Sunday.
An Epoch Times review of game footage and videos that were uploaded to social media showed that the Tennessee Titans included a photo of Kirk with his family on the jumbotron for a moment of silence on Sunday in the team’s home game against the Los Angeles Rams.
At the Chiefs game, a moment of silence was held for the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, for victims of a shooting in Colorado, and for Kirk.
