Boner Candidate #1: THE CAROLINA PANTHERS HIRE ONLY THE BEST PEOPLE TO DO PUBLIC RELATIONS
A Carolina Panthers public relations staffer was reportedly fired after posting a controversial Instagram comment about the assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot at an event in Utah, and the suspect remains at large. The staffer, Charlie Rock, posted a video of Kirk defending gun rights with a caption implying justification for the shooting, along with a reference to the Wu-Tang Clan song “Protect Ya Neck.” The Panthers quickly distanced themselves from the post, stating it did not reflect the team’s views and that the matter was being handled seriously.

Boner Candidate #2: THIS WAS NOT A COMMENT, IT WAS A STUPID MISTAKE.
A C-SPAN YouTube video mistakenly referred to Charlie Kirk as “Charlie Kook” in its headline, leading to significant viewer backlash. The video, covering an FBI briefing on Kirk’s assassination, was criticized as disrespectful and offensive. Many viewers accused C-SPAN of intentionally mocking the conservative activist, demanding accountability. Although the network corrected the title and re-uploaded the video without comments, the outrage continued.
Boner Candidate #3: TOTALLY OUT OF LINE
TMZ issued an apology after laughter was heard during its live stream coverage of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, calling the incident “totally out of line.” The outlet clarified that the laughter came from employees watching an unrelated car chase in another part of the building, not from those covering the tragic event.
