WATCH: Buffalo Bills Host Touching Tribute To Charlie Kirk

The NFL’s Buffalo Bills played a touching tribute to the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated while speaking on a college campus last week, ahead of their primetime Thursday Night Football clash with the Miami Dolphins.

Just ahead of the game’s start time, the organization displayed  the words “Charlie Kirk…. 1993-2025.” The display was accompanied by photos of Kirk with his young children, as well as scenes from his campus events.

Since Kirk’s horrific murder on the University of Utah Valley campus on September 10, tributes have poured in from across the world, including the world of sports.

A number of additional NFL franchises, including the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs, among others, held tributes or moments of silence of Kirk ahead of last weekend’s games. Other franchises, including the Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens and the Minnesota Vikings received backlash for refusing to do so.

The trend was also observed ahead of primetime college football clashes, with students at the University of South Carolina, University of Tennessee and several others held mid-game tributes. Others erected memorials to Kirk around campus.

Ahead of the UFC’s marquee “Noche” event in San Antonio, the promotion aired a tribute to Kirk both on the broadcast and in the arena. A moment of silence was also observed at the event.

The Chicago Cubs also acknowledged Kirk as a longtime fan of the organization and hosted a moment of remembrance for him at the historic Wrigley Field. Oregon Football Head Coach Dan Lanning also paid tribute to Kirk — an avid Ducks fan — in a postgame press conference.

Rest in peace.
