Super Bowl champion coach Tony Dungy reflects on Charlie Kirk memorial service
Former NFL head coach Tony Dungy appears on OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" to reflect on Charlie Kirk's memorial service.
Super Bowl champion head coach Tony Dungy reflected on Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Tuesday.
Thousands of mourners flocked to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, over the weekend in honor of the 31-year-old conservative influencer, who was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month.

Erika Kirk, Charlie’s wife, was among those to give heartwarming speeches. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk were among those to speak at the service as well.
"I think people were energized and I was very appreciative of it," Dungy said on OutKick’s "Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich." "Take all of the politics out of it. Just say, ‘We’re gonna honor this man’s life. We’re gonna talk about what Christ would say and what He wants to see, and I thought that was done.
"You’re never going to take politics out totally. But I thought the gist of it was exactly what it should be."
Dungy didn’t attend the event. At least one sports figure from the sports world was there – Chicago Cubs rookie Matt Shaw.
