Clearly, as this photo shows, this "show" promoted gang thuggery to young people and children watching.

WHAT does this anti-American garbage have to do with NFL football and the SuperBowl which is almost a national holiday????

Why does this half-time not consist of showcasing young football players who are coming up thru the ranks, or better yet, those who are excellent students as well as athletes? Why not showcase NFL Hall of Fame Inductees, nominees, or other great football players who actually like our country??

People saying this poisonous attitude is okay for kids to watch are ruining the country. Period.

The answer to your questions is ratings. Early Superbowl halftimes were an excuse for a bathroom break.

Passed on this years superbowl and had no interest in the halftime show after reading the people involved and the nature of the political climate at that time. Goodell could really care less as long as the tv money pours in and he gets his 34 million in salary.

Roger Goodell may care about such issues. Some of the NFL players come from communities where rap music and the values coming out of these areas affect strongly these players' viewpoints.

I would be interested in hearing what some retired college professors think about rap music and it culture?

My sister-in-law Grace likes Christian music as did my late brother Chuck. Christian soft rock type stuff. She is Jamaican-American and sometimes still visits the Villages.

Often when I hear rap music blasting out of a car in the Villages, it is often a 20 something white person.

Many of these rebellious songs are of different genres than rap. 27 Songs That Fueled Your Teenage Rebellion

Roger Goodell keeps his job as long as the owners are happy, not the players, he works for the owners. In previous years when they had halftimes featuring The Who, Tom Petty, Paul Mccartney and Bruce Springsteen, he was preaching to the choir. Essentially the older crowd that would appreciate that type of music will watch the NFL regardless. The younger adult male is the market place of the future, and I believe that's why they've shifted the music to fit that demo.

The Black Eyed Peas are pretty tame in the standards of angry young male/female music.
