The Carolina Panthers have dismissed Charlie Rock, their football communications coordinator, after he posted insensitive comments on social media about the reported killing of Charlie Kirk.
Rock shared a photo of Kirk on his Instagram story, captioned: “Why are y’all sad? Your man said it was worth it…” He also posted a screenshot of the song “Protect Ya Neck.”
In response, the Panthers released a statement saying:
“The opinions shared by our staff are their own and do not reflect those of the Carolina Panthers. We do not tolerate any form of violence. This matter was taken seriously and has been addressed appropriately with the individual involved.”
