Multiple NFL teams hold Charlie Kirk tributes prior to their games and fans welcome the moments

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.

The Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys held moments of silence in honor of Kirk.

All put Kirk's photo on their video boards and asked the home crowd to stand and pay respects in the wake of Kirk's shooting last week.

The NFL coordinated a tribute for Kirk at the Thursday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders, but left the decision whether to have the 13 homes teams do a tribute up to the individual teams.

And while a handful of teams chose to either honor Kirk or include him in  tributes and remembrance of Sept. 11, a handful declined to mention Kirk.

It should be noted the Bengals, Lions, Ravens and Steelers did not hold moments of silence or reflection on Kirk's behalf.

The Steelers previously told OutKick their tribute on Sunday would consist of the lowering of stadium flags to half-staff.

In Miami, the moment of silence happened with both teams on the field. That was not the case at Lambeau Field on Thursday.

And the tribute for Kirk was combined to also honor the anniversary of the September 11 attacks and other "victims of violence." The tribute was greeted with cheers and, after the silence, sent off with applause.

The same happened in Dallas where Kirk's picture spanned the 160-foot by 72-foot screen that hangs suspended 90 feet above the field.

In New York, the Jets held a moment of silence and played a short video tribute to honor Kirk prior to the game before many fans had reached their seats. 

The tribute in New York is especially notable.

Unlike Miami, Nashville or Dallas, which are all in red states, the greater New York area is a noted hotbed of conservative thinking. None of the states in the Tri-State area are red.

And yet in a game played in the Meadowlands, before an audience that wasn't certain to accept the tribute, the Jets went ahead anyway.

That is to be noted. And applauded.

Because doing right is never wrong.

Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter not cooperating with authorities, Utah Gov. Cox says

Gov. Spencer Cox, R-Utah, said Sunday that Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, was not cooperating with authorities. 

"He has not confessed to authorities. He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating. And I think that's very important," Cox told ABC's "This Week" host Martha Raddatz.

Cox was also asked about a report in The New York Times about the alleged shooter's messages on Discord. Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday while speaking at a campus event in Utah. 

"All we can confirm is that those conversations definitely were happening, and they did not believe it was actually him. It was, it was all joking, until he… admitted that it actually was him," Cox said.

Cox told Cox told the Wall Street Journal the suspect was "deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideology," according to an interview published Friday.

Raddatz pressed Cox for evidence supporting the claim.

"So far, that has come from his acquaintances and his family members," he said. 

Authorities arrested Robinson on Thursday after a family member contacted the Washington County Sheriff’s Office with information that Robinson had implied or confessed to committing the shooting, Cox said Friday.

Cox told NBC News on Sunday that Robinson appeared to grow more politically radical after dropping out of Utah State University.

"It seemed to happen kind of after that – after he moved back to the southern part of Utah. Clearly, there was a lot of gaming going on, friends that have confirmed that there was kind of that deep, dark internet, Reddit culture and these other dark places of the internet where this person was going deep. You saw that on the casings… the memeification that is happening in our society today," he told NBC News.

Raddatz asked Cox what needed to happen for this moment to become a turning point in history, referencing his remarks Friday that described the shooting as a watershed moment.

"You know, right now we are in a dark place. Everybody gets that, I think. And we have choices. In my political philosophy and in my religious philosophy, we believe in agency – that every one of us gets to make our own decisions," he said. "Can we do good in our neighborhood? Can we hug a family member? Can we talk to a neighbor we disagree with? That’s up to us. That’s the only way out. There’s nothing else we can do to solve this dark chapter in our history."
