Joe Burrow’s Charity Fires Board Member Over Kirk Comments

The comments were “inappropriate.”

The Joe Burrow Foundation announced that a board member was terminated on Friday following “inappropriate remarks” made “in light of recent events.” According to WLWT5, a Hamilton County, Ohio judge who served on Burrow’s board named Ted Berry is facing outrage and criticism after making comments on Facebook about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Berry allegedly commented “Rest in Hatred and Division,” and “How’s he feel about gun violence & gun control in Hell, now?” on posts about Kirk’s death. In another post, Berry allegedly wrote, “So, a white guy killed him! Color it KARMA!” While the Burrow Foundation did not explicitly name who was terminated, the statement said that “they are no longer associated with the foundation. Their comments do not reflect our values or our mission.” A previous section on the website naming each member of the advisory board for the foundation has been removed. Ohio Republican State Representative Adam Matthews took it one step further, calling for Berry to resign. Matthews wrote on X “The people of Ohio deserve a judiciary they can trust to be fair, unbiased, and beyond reproach,” and that Berry “should resign or face removal.”
