The NFL released a statement Friday addressing a pregame tribute to Charlie Kirk in Thursday’s matchup between the Green Bay Packers<\/a> and Washington Commanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to kickoff on “Thursday Night Football,” the public address announcer at Lambeau Field said: “The National Football League asks that you please join us in a moment of silent reflection following the murder of Charlie Kirk. The NFL condemns all violence in our communities. It will take all of us to stop hate. Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kirk, a 31-year-old political activist, was shot and killed during a speaking event at Utah Valley University last week. On Friday, the NFL said in a statement that it was the “league’s decision” to hold the moment of silence for Kirk on Thursday, also saying it will be up to other teams if they choose to honor Kirk pregame throughout the rest of Week 2.<\/p>\n

“Last night\u2019s moment was the league\u2019s decision. It\u2019s up to the clubs for this Sunday\u2019s games,” the league’s statement read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
