“There’s no diversity in the half time show. DEI only goes one direction and this horrible halftime show perfectly represents why DEI needs to die,” a user wrote.

    Everyone knows musical performances without white people being involved is racism!

    This is why I refuse to go see a single performance by Stevie Wonder or even Ladysmith Black Mombaso.

    I won’t even listen The Black Keys or Black Sabbath. You know, just in case.

      I stopped watching the NFL in general several years ago when they went to split screen to show a commercial during gameplay. I can’t even imagine how much worse it has gotten.

        I’ve never seen them do split screen during gameplay. Maybe if they timed it wrong, but not that I can remember. But thet do have split screen during short timeouts or ref reviews

    Look, I wasn’t a big fan of the half time show, either, but that’s because it was only one person and wasn’t a big spectacle. I think Kendrick absolutely crushed his performance, and the dancers and choreography were amazing; but it was like a really large music video and not a halftime show spectacle. If any other person had made a musical cameo besides the woman I didn’t know who sang two short lines, then it would have been better. The reason I say that is, in my unartistic opinion, Kendrick is a bit one-note; so adding another artist would have punched harder.

    I knew people would complain about the lack of diversity on stage, but I also think it was completely intentional to make a point. I loved that aspect of it.

    When all the coaches for the Kansas City Chiefs were walking to the field, I thought someone opened the diabetic clinic.
