Baltimore, MD – September 14, 2025

When the Baltimore Ravens host the Cleveland Browns for their Week 2 home opener, the night will carry a weight beyond football. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti announced that the organization will hold a tribute ceremony for Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist killed earlier this week in an act of political violence.

Bisciotti, reflecting the Ravens’ tradition of blending toughness on the field with compassion off it, described Kirk as a “patriot and defender of free speech” while calling on fans to stand united against the rising tide of political violence. “Baltimore knows what it means to fight through hardship,” he said. “On Sunday, we’ll pause to honor a life lost and remind ourselves that community and unity are stronger than division.”

The ceremony will begin before kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium, featuring a moment of silence as both the Ravens and Browns stand together. Kirk’s image will be displayed on the stadium’s giant screens, and team representatives may share remarks to mark the moment.

The tribute continues the Ravens’ history of honoring national tragedies and moments of collective grief, from 9/11 to community crises that touched Baltimore itself. This time, the gesture is aimed at sending a message of solidarity that stretches far beyond football.

Sunday’s game also marks the Ravens’ first divisional clash of the 2025 season—a matchup already steeped in rivalry. But as Bisciotti emphasized, the heart of the day will belong to remembrance: “Football brings people together. In Baltimore, we know that the game is bigger than the score when it becomes a chance to stand as one.”

Tickets remain available for the game at M&T Bank Stadium, with fans encouraged not only to rally behind the Ravens but also to take part in a shared call for peace, resilience, and unity in the face of tragedy.

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
