Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., reflects on Charlie Kirk's impact on the conservative movement and the rise in violent political rhetoric on 'Fox News Live.' 

Multiple NFL teams hosting home games during the 1 p.m. window of Sunday's schedule conducted pregame tributes to slain Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. And the reactions in the stadiums were generally welcoming.

NFL explains decision to call for Thursday night moment of silence for Charlie Kirk

During Thursday night’s Commanders-Packers pregame show on Prime Video, host Charissa Thompson threw to video from “moments ago” in which the “Packers and the NFL observed a silent reflection following [Wednesday’s] events.”

Over video of the packed stadium, the P.A. announcer said this: “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.”

In response to an inquiry from PFT regarding how the gesture came to be, and whether it will be repeated at the remaining Week 2 games, the NFL provided the following statement:

NFL will allow home teams to decide on Charlie Kirk remembrances before Sunday's Week 2 games

Since the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk, the NFL's league office and several teams have wrestled this week with whether and how to remember him ahead of the Week 2 slate of games.

In the end, the NFL decided to have a moment of reflection before Thursday Night Football in the first game after his killing, while leaving the decision on any other remembrances up to remaining 15 host teams in Week 2.

"Last night's moment was the league's decision," a league spokesman said Friday in a statement provided to CBS Sports. "It's up to the clubs for this Sunday's games."

The decisions made this week highlight a precarious position the NFL is in as, what one league source called it last year, the "last, great convening force" in the country. How will the league further commemorate Kirk, a controversial public figure in American politics whose murder at a campus event has led to lowered flags across the nation and social media remembrances from many, including NFL players?
