A sports departure from Phoenix “made the decision to separate” with his main writer of Phoenix Suns after a series of publications about X about the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was killed on Wednesday at the University of Utah Valley, and Gerald Bourget suggested that he was “denying to cry” his death.

“The ‘political differences’ are not the same as throwing a hate rhetoric daily, and refusing to cry a life dedicated to that cause is not the same as celebrating armed violence. We are simply 100% clear about that,” Bourget published.

Bourget also said that Kirk’s murder was the “Holy Grail of the Ironies”, referring to Kirk’s position in the second amendment. He also called Kirk a “fanatic” who “spread genocidal propaganda.”

“If today’s ‘political violence’ is sad, horrified by the video, or rejected by my answer, ask yourself why your reaction was different when it came to shooting at school, mass deportations or the hundreds of videos of horrible murders in Gaza (which Kirk encouraged).

“I really don’t care if you think it’s an insensitive or poor moment to respect an evil man who died. Many of you are more concerned with being educated and * appear * Being good people instead of showing a damn spine and standing in the director (sic) to condemn hate.”

The departure announced its decision on Thursday.

“The opinions expressed by our employees do not represent the opinions of PHNX or Allcity Network,” the company wrote in X. “We took the issues that we involve to violence and we are committed to ensuring that Allcity continue to be a safe place for our employees and the community. We have addressed this matter with the individual and make the decision of separation.”
