The Green Bay Packers kicked off Week 2 of the NFL season by holding a moment of silence for Kirk.
“The National Football League asks that you please join us in a moment of silent reflection following the murder of Charlie Kirk,” the Lambeau PA announcer said.
“The NFL condemns all violence in our communities. It will take all of us to stop hate. Thank you.”
That moment of silence was dictated by the league, but going forward it will be up to individual teams to decide whether or not to hold a moment of silence.
