I just shook my head and thought, the NFL our who've booked this fiasco is complicent in this gang type culture war.
Recall earlier pre-game-everyone in the crowd was singing, Country Roads?

Not one person, young or old was singing along with the vulgarity of kendrick lamar.

It Is NOT ART in any form whatsoever.
The NFL was a Pawn in his game. Nothing more.
Defend it if you want, but know WHAT you're defending.
Look up the words.
Just a few:
- He performed a dozen songs
- This is not the first time the superbowl has seen a Crip Walk
- This is not the first time Serena Williams has performed a Crip Walk
- Though I could not understand much of the half time broadcast, I was able to hear what sounded like the entire stadium singing along during one part of the show

I know a 60 year old and a 30 year old who enjoyed the show, it seemed like those in attendance enjoyed the show, and many positive articles have been written about the show. The show doesn't need my defense, it is standing on it's own very well.
