‘We Are Charlie Kirk’: Global Tributes, NFL and Cubs Join in Honoring Slain TPUSA Founder

Turning Point USA announced Saturday that it will be honoring its founder Charlie Kirk next weekend with a giant public celebration of his life.

“Building a Legacy, Remembering Charlie Kirk” will take place Sunday, Sept. 21, at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, according to Fox News. President Donald Trump said he plans to be there.

Additionally, people all across both the U.S. and the world are honoring Kirk by holding memorials, vigils, and moments of silence, including the South Koreans, Chicago Cubs baseball team, and many NFL teams. 

According to Townhall, thousands of South Koreans filled the streets Saturday and chanted, “We are Charlie Kirk!”

There has been a strong display of international solidarity after Kirk was assassinated Wednesday, with other countries like Australia, Germany, and the United Kingdom holding memorials and vigils for him.

The Cubs honored Kirk, a lifelong fan, by flying the American flag at half-staff as well as holding a moment of silence for him and calling for “all political violence” to end at Friday’s home game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Before the second week of games, a number of NFL teams held moments of silence for Kirk. 

According to USA Today, the NFL left it up to individual home teams to decide if they wanted to hold moments of silence for Kirk. At Thursday’s Packers-Commanders game, a moment of silence was held for Kirk. On Sunday, teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints, and Tennessee Titans made sure to honor the slain conservative icon.
