CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers fired a member of their communications team for an insensitive post about the killing of Charlie Kirk Wednesday in Utah.
The employee terminated was Charlie Rock, The Charlotte Observer reported.
The Panthers posted on X that, “The views expressed by our employees are their own and do not represent those of the Carolina Panthers. We do not condone violence of any kind. We are taking this matter very seriously and have accordingly addressed it with the individual.”
Others in our area are also facing professional consequences for posts about the shooting.
A Lake Norman Charter teacher is on administrative leave for their comments.
The school in Huntersville sent a message to families condemning the teacher’s post saying it doesn’t reflect the school.
Gaston County Schools is investigating comments that one of its teachers made. District officials said their human resources department is looking into it.
