A Phoenix Sports Outlet “made the decision to share ways” with his leading Phoenix Suns author after a number of positions on X about Charlie Kirk’s assault.
Kirk was murdered on Wednesday at Utah Valley University, and Gerald Bourget suggested he “refused to mourn” on his death.
“‘Political differences’ is not the same as spraying hateful rhetoric on a daily basis, and refusing to mourn a life set aside for this case is not the same as celebrating pistolal. Just so we are 100% clear on it,” posted Bourget.

Bourget also said that Kirk’s killing was the “sacred grail of ironier”, referring to Kirk’s attitude to the second amendment. He also called Kirk a “Bigot” that “spread the genocide propaganda.”
“If you are saddened by today’s ‘political violence’, horrified by the video or repelled by my answer, ask yourself why your reaction was different when it came to school shoots, mass portions or the hundreds of videos of terrible murders in Gaza (which Kirk cheered on).

“Don’t really care if you think it is insensitive or bad timing to refuse to respect an evil man who died. For many of you are more concerned with being polite and * seems * to be good people instead of showing a damn backbone and standing on the principal (sic) to condemn hatred.”
Outlet announced his decision on Thursday.
“The statements that our employees express do not represent the views of Phnx or Allcity Network,” the company wrote at X. “We take the case that involves violence very seriously and is obliged to ensure that Allcity remains a safe place for our employees and society. We have dealt with this case with the individual and made the decision to share ways.”

An employee of Carolina Panthers was also fired for similar comments that were shared online.
Police confirmed Friday That a suspect in Kirk’s killing was arrested. He was identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old resident of Utah. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox declared that a family member in Robinsons contacted a family friend who then reached the Washington County Sheriff’s Office “with information that Robinson had confessed to them or suggested that he had committed the incident.”
