I strongly disagree that the song was intended to be divisive. I also strongly believe that it is only perceived as divisive by a small subset of the population that WANT there to be controversy.

It was not performed after the national anthem. It was not performed adjacent to the anthem. There was not an announcement to please rise and remove hats. It was not introduced as an anthem, rational or otherwise. Those ideas originated in this thread by those who want something to complain about. They got tired of Swift/Kelce and came up with something else. (at least that’s the least offensive reason I can think of)
Then why did they play it at the 2023 Superbowl, before they were an item?
