The NFL should be ashamed!

I’m watching the other halftime show. I switched over just to see. That may be the most pitiful show, not just Super Bowl halftime show, I have ever witnessed. I defy anyone to come on here and say that’s entertainment. I’m not sure who is less talented, Bad Bunny or Pitbull. I think I have to give it to Bad Bunny. The NFL should be ashamed but they accomplished their cultural appropriation task. A dang wedding…seriously?

America has given up! Everyone is more important than Americans these days! This country is headed to **** in a hurry and the dumbest of them all will be right back in the voting booth come November and put the dumbacrats back in charge because it makes perfect sense to run back to the idiots that got us in trouble to begin with. Might as well be talking to the wall though!

Agree. Music is nice but if I were in Mexico. Big middle finger to America by the most American event of the year. I don’t know what country I live in now. Certainly not the America I miss from the 80’s and 90’s.
Heck, I would have been fine with some decent Spanish music.

I changed the channel temporarily when the USA hating Green Day came on and then watched the TPUSA halftime show. Nice job supporting America Goodell. I hardly watch the NFL anymore in part because of all of the woke stuff.

I ended my YouTube tv subscription after college football was over so not even watching the game but I bounced back and forth between the two half time shows. At this point I’m just sick of it all. I’d like an 80’s themed halftime show but it probably won’t happen.

They should have had Green Day at the halftime and the bunny moron before the game. They had it backwards. Regardless, everyone in our household switched channels during the halftime fiasco.

I am pretty sure all Super Bowls are lip synced which makes you wonder why they are such a big deal.
Yeah, I think we are all save ourselves some stress is we accept the Superbowl halftime show is not that important. It is to attract nonfootball fans and generate ad revenue and nothing more. The NFL wants to expand viewership and their plan is to attrract non traditional football fans. They probably have all of the traditional football fans they are going to get. They also need a younger crowd. At my age I went to bed before it was over because I have work to do today.

Kid Rock's opening 'This is Kid Rock' ditty was kind of crappy, to be honest. But I guess people expect that from song from him now. Didn't even try to hide that he was lip synching. He's getting too old to jump around and yell into the mic at the same time. I get it, I am too. Probably better to just not do it in that case.

But his second song where he actually stood at a mic and sang was actually pretty good. I guess he is starting to perform under his real name some, too.

The NFL is all about capitalism. I read that a record number of international games will be played next year. Expand the market.

I didn't watch any of it.

Yeah, this.

I had a small gathering to watch the game/commercials. Its a social thing now, not so much about the game.

Should we start a thread about the disappointing commercials?

I watched the salute to how great America is on TPUSA. I was disappointed kid rock did lip sync that one song, but that last song he DID not and it was AMAZING!! Wasnt gonna watch the celebration of the "Rest of the world" on the Super Bowl halftime fiasco. I wanted to watch the God, Family and Country salute. It didnt have the Mega Bucks the other one did, but I ENJOYED IT!!

Yeah, the commercials have been bad for years now. The advertisers are just trying too hard..... I only really remember one; It was the Dunkin one. And the only reason I remember is because all I could think was, "Wow! What did it cost them to have alllll of these big-name celebs in a single ad?!?" :D

Didn't watch the NFL halftime crap. The TPUSA production was... sub-optimal, to put it kindly. However, the flip to Rob Ritchie appeared genuine. The message and the symbolism of that final part was good.

Reading about it. Doesn't seem like it was anything super special aside from the fact that it was entirely in Spanish.

Sounds like all the hoopla over how controversial it would be is what drew a ton of people to watch it.

Most just seeing people talk about wonder the culture is wherever he's from. Always hilarious when white folks are like "Your culture is so amazing. Now dance and sing for me!"
