The Pittsburgh Steelers are being praised for their heartwarming gesture toward Charlie Kirk following his shocking murder.
Kirk was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, with a gunman hitting him with a single shot in the neck from over 100 meters away. A suspect is in custody, having turned himself in on Friday.
The Steelers, who played host to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, kept their flag half-staffed during their flyover, much to the delight of fans on social media.
Check it out in the video below, which has drawn over 102,000 views on Twitter/X.
“Beautiful!!! My hometown 🖤💛,” a fan wrote.
“Tip of the cap is right. I give Art credit here,” said another.
“Amazing flyover too,” wrote a third.
“Thought the moment of silence was for Craig Wolfley?” a user asked.
“did they actually acknowledge Charlie, or was it only Craig?” asked another.
Following their incredible win over the New York Jets in Week 1, the Steelers appear to be headed for a loss. They are down 31-17 with just under three minutes left in the fourth quarter.
