It`s a good thing that no one can understand the lyrics to that rap crap.

Yes, that story clearly was written so some people would have something new to clutch their pearls over.

Equity is a politically neutral concept - unless someone makes it political.

It's not like everyone likes country singers.

Didn’t see the halftime show. I wonder how long before this trend of groups of performers for a Super Bowl halftime show goes too far? Great solo musical acts were able to perform at the halftime show without numerous guest appearances. It seems like a trend to add more and more artist to try to top previous performances. Early SB halftime shows we’re not much better than a school marching band and choir. Today’s halftime show has become a promotional event. Imagine if the halftime show was a 15 minute highlight of the greatest plays of the two teams leading up to them coming to the Super Bowl and set to some inspirational type music.

Super Bowl 2022 is the neo-Marxist anti-culture platform embedded in the heart of pure Americanism of traditional entertainment. A black singer who was out of tune the anthem all the time, chosen for being black and not for talent with high vocal ability or long career. Whitney Houston was black and was chosen for being one of the best American and world singers in her time and not for being black. The left is playing and using black American descendants of slaves for sociopathic slavery against a white majority.
The American anthem no longer sounds with its original notes or the harmonic grandeur in its singing. Yesterday that singer, unknown to me, collapsed that anthem in her voice with the same eagerness as her BLM little brothers knock down statues of heroes and burn courts of justice, rob stores and destroy private property. Behind her there was a choir of 10 members and only two were white, so that the agenda that whites in America do not contribute to history, culture or the progress and aggrandizement of this country bears fruit.
I did not see the game, I only wanted to see the moment of the American anthem, because an intuitive force prompted me to check what has been brewing against the American anthem for the discredit of America as the fruit of its white founders and their descendants.
It is what I fatally and disappointingly saw.

https://nypost.com/2022/01/29/snoop-...1ufA59d5n5jC8w



From the article:

"This is what Roger Goodell thinks NFL audiences, of all ages, are worth on a Super Bowl Sunday. These acts are far beneath him as he has already admitted that he can’t repeat what Snoop Dogg raps. But he feels as if Snoop Dogg is perfect for you and yours — and professional football."


I wonder if Goodell also thinks that a performer like Snoop Dog is also good for the Black players which make up about 70% of the NFL ?

Is Goodell trying to be hip? Trying to be woke? Trying to bring in a more diverse audience for the games?


It is certainly odd to have a half time performer that raps about dead cops while at the same time we see messages such as "Stop Racism" "End Hate" painted in the end zones and on the back of players helmets.


Which is it Goodell and the NFL as a whole? Are we supposed to respect your message to End Hate or live by the words of your approved half time show and admire people that call for dead cops?



The message that the NFL, Pepsi and Corona are sending by promoting and using people like Snoop Dog is that they are ok with the violence he promotes.
Snoop Dog also put out a video of Trump being shot. A trump look alike with snoop dog pointing the gun and shooting it at Trump's head.

Regarding the rappers: Em is a major outliner. An icon in the rap game. Woe to any Black (or white) rapper who attempts a "beef" with him.

Not sure if Snoop actually hates Trump. Probably admires him given the way Trump has "lived large" over the years. Bashing Trump in the video was likely designed to appear relevant with today's youth. The same with Em getting all "deep" with his free-style attack on Trump a few years back.

Will be interesting if Trump runs in 2024 and rap artists such as lil Wayne speak out in support.

As far as politics/black vote: Trump did make some progress with Black males.

I know its politics and controversy but what does Trump (or Biden) have to do with this years performance?

Tjey performed their hits from years ago.. most of those songs were created 20 years ago.

Lot of people are tired of “song stylist” inserting notes going up and down the musical bars just to show their vocal range instead of singing the song with the notes as it was written in a clear voice.
