According to viral media reports, the NFL player requested fans to shut out the noise. “I love football because it unites people,” the fake report in the name of Kittle stated. “But lately, I’ve seen politics being dragged into it far too often. Charlie Kirk may matter to some, but he has no place in the NFL. Football is for the fans, the competition, and the love of the game, not for politics.”

However, when people started messaging him about his statement, he had to take notice.
