Far-right provocateur Charlie Kirk, best known for his controversial takes and claiming that gun violence was “acceptable” to keep the Second Amendment, was assassinated by gun violence. The infamous “Debate Bro” was a college dropout but made a name for himself by debating across college campuses and giving controversial and offensive takes.
Soon after his death, a video of him playing football surfaced, and this somehow impressed some fans.
Some fans claimed that the late right-wing activist and Trump ally was good enough for the NFL, while others were not as impressed.
“Now I wish the jets signed him years ago,” one Jets fan said.
“Are we supposed to be impressed by this? He’s almost a foot taller than me if he’s 6’5 and I was throwing that far when I was in high school lmao but it did f*ck up my arm for like a week lmao,” said another person.
“He talked waaaayy too much to be moving around like he couldn’t get touched. Thats crazy,” one commenter pointed out.
“Maybe 40 but it had good zip.” noted another person.
“Nice throw. Still was a terrible, bigoted human.” said one critic.
“I’m sorry. I think it’s horrible that he had to be murdered. I think he was a piece of sh*t. Didn’t deserve to die though,” another person added.
Charlie Kirk had many talents.
Add throwing 50 yard bombs to the list.
Continued prayers for his family and loved ones.

Charlie Kirk has divided the nation in life, as he did in death. While both the right and the left have agreed that his violent death was uncalled for, many on the right have been angered as the left keeps pointing out the many controversial things he had said in life.

Charlie Kirk’s Take on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Engagement Resurfaces After Assassination
Just weeks before his death, Charlie Kirk drew the ire of many Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce fans because of his controversial take on what the pop star should do after marrying her football star fiancé. Kirk told Swift that she should submit to her husband.
Kirk expressed his belief that marrying Travis Kelce would make her more conservative and reject feminism and that she would “go from a cat lady to a JD Vance supporter.” This take certainly raised eyebrows.
