Did Jalen Hurts, Travis Kelce, Nick Bosa, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Malik Nabers, Jordan Love, and other NFL stars each donate $300,000 to Charlie Kirk's family? No, that's not true: Facebook posts claiming that these American football players reacted to the killing of Kirk on September 10, 2025, with big donations and statements of support are generated by AI tools. Websites and Facebook pages promoting these fake stories are targeting an American audience, but published from Vietnam.

The claims originated on a series of articles on fake websites, including this article (archived here) published on feji.io on September 11, 2025, under the title "Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Honors Charlie Kirk With $300,000 Donation to Family".

Lead Stories was immediately suspicious about the authenticity of this article since it was almost identical to articles involving Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburg Steelers, Malik Nabers of the New York Giants, and Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers. An identical quote was attributed to each of the NFL players.
