Liv Golf star Phil Mickelson has been among the best sports figures to talk about the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.
Kirk, 31, was shot and killed while talking at an event at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The shooting triggered a 33-hour manhunt and led to the arrest of Tyler Robinson in connection with the incident on Friday. Mickelson seemed to keep an eye on the rhetoric that has been used in the days since Kirk’s killing.

“The murder of Charlie Kirk brings out some of the best in humanity, and it also postpones some of the worst,” he wrote on X in response to a statement from the President of Oxford Union. “Association, love, support and screams on his behalf all over the world are heartwarming.
“The number of people supporting Tyler Robinson’s shaking behavior has opened my eyes to a side of extremism with a moral superiority complex that has also shaken my belief in people in general. I hope they are held responsible for their disgusting rhetoric.”

Mickelson also shared a post with one of Kirk’s debates. The lecture with another student contained Kirk, who closed a man in the university and his “hatred” for billionaires as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
“His ability to use words and his intellect to win debates is what scared them,” Mickelson wrote.

On Sunday, the NFL world honored Kirk with moments of silence before team played their game. There were only a handful of teams for not having a moment to pay tribute to Kirk.
