Five NFL teams didn’t hold a moment of silence following the death of Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk died on September 10, 2025, after being fatally shot during a public campus event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
The gunman opened fire in the middle of Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong” session, a signature event where he debated college students face-to-face.
Witnesses described chaos as the crowd scattered, screams echoed through the auditorium, and campus security scrambled to lock down the area.
Kirk was struck in the neck, rushed to Timpanogos Regional Hospital in critical condition, but pronounced dead later that day.
Authorities identified the suspected shooter as 22-year-old Tyler James Robinson, who fled the scene before being captured two days later.
The shocking assassination has ignited fierce debate about political violence, campus safety, and the vulnerability of outspoken public figures.
Charlie Kirk’s rise profiled.
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, is a divisive political voice known for fiery speeches on college campuses.
Supporters hail him as a defender of free speech, while critics accuse him of spreading divisive rhetoric.
His events frequently drew protests, making him one of the most polarizing figures on the conservative speaking circuit.
Explosive allegations revealed.
A nurse claims she was punished not for misconduct, but for daring to speak up about a doctor’s disturbing remarks about Kirk’s death.
According to a lawsuit filed Friday, surgeon Dr. Matthew Jung allegedly “cheered” news of Kirk’s assassination.
Nurse Lexi Kuenzle says she was horrified to hear a physician make such remarks in front of staff and even a patient.
“I hate Charlie Kirk. He had it coming. He deserved it,” Jung allegedly declared.
“You’re a doctor. How could you say someone deserved to die?” Kuenzle shot back, stunned by what she had just heard.
The fallout detailed.
Later that evening, Kuenzle posted about the incident on her personal Instagram, questioning how a doctor could comply with medical ethics while celebrating a death.
By the next morning, she says hospital executives had pulled her into a meeting and suspended her without pay.
A union representative allegedly told her to begin “looking for another job.”
Kuenzle said she immediately reported Jung’s remarks to hospital management.
The next day, she was off the job, her pay suspended, and her future uncertain.
Meanwhile, Jung allegedly offered to “buy lunch” for the nurses present during his rant — though Kuenzle was excluded.
“It was mind-blowing to me. I was so angry and upset,” she told The Post.
The legal fight clarified.
Kuenzle’s lawsuit argues she was targeted for upholding medical ethics, not for any workplace violation.
It also claims Jung violated the Hippocratic Oath and the American Medical Association’s Code of Ethics by applauding a violent act.
She is now seeking damages for lost wages and reputational harm.
GOP activist Scott Presler called Kuenzle one of “Charlie’s Angels,” applauding her for speaking out.
“Would he treat patients differently? Would he allow emotions to cloud judgment?” Presler asked on social media.
Conservatives online have rallied around Kuenzle, portraying her as a victim of bias within healthcare.
Nurse’s career left hanging.
For Kuenzle, the reality is stark: she lost her job and paycheck for calling out a colleague.
The central allegation stands — a doctor “cheered” Charlie Kirk’s assassination, but the nurse who objected was the one who paid the price.
Elsewhere NFL teams paid their respects with a moment of silence.
But according to the Daily Mail the Bengals, Lions, Colts, Vikings and Ravens did not.
