The Houston Texas chose not to name Charlie Kirk after holding a moment of silence for ‘all victims of violence and natural disaster’ before their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

One day after five NFL teams refused to pay their respects to Kirk prior to their home Week 2 matchups, while seven others made sure to honor the slain MAGA star, the Texans opted for somewhere in between with a vaguer tribute at NRG Stadium.

A number of fans were quick to criticize Houston on X, including one who wrote: ‘Houston Texans moment of silence for “all victims of violence and natural disaster” was incredibly lame and tone deaf. Absolute joke.’

‘I see the Houston Texans took the easy road at “Ending all violence.” Which I do agree with. We need to, but you could’ve at least mentioned his name,’ said another.

While a third put: ‘Way to have no backbone Houston Texans, p****s that was weak’.
