I've never in my life heard of a actual case with a black man being shot while jogging just for being black. That is without leaving out 99% of the details and the entire context of the incident.

If something like that actually happened, yeah I would not like it. But I've never actually heard of such a thing in my entire life and even if we could find that hypothetical needle in a haystack one single case in the whole wide world I don't see that is remotely relevant to anything in this entire thread.

I did my part. I didn't watch one second of the Super Bowl, halftime show, or pre/post game shows. The first Super Bowl I haven't watched in my 55 years. In fairness, my NFL watching over the past 5-10 years has been very little.

I also have zero interest or plans to watch the Olympics.

Either they:

3. they read someone elses view on it, not knowing if the person's review was accurate

As far as reading goes, unforunately I have to read the threads. I spend entirely too much time trying to stay up on the threads because of all the reported posts we get.

P.S. I love your viewpoint about people having opinions and coming here to discuss them. Just remember that when you read Tom's and Git's posts. They are entitled to their opinions as well.

Again.....what are you talking about here?

Is there some post I made where I said they should not be allowed to have an opinion?

There is a universe of difference between saying an opinion is stupid and you are not allowed to have an opinion.

Whether you like it or not, people are allowed to say they won't watch something live, and STILL have an opinion on it afterward whether they see or read about what went down.

In the same post you argue everyone is allowed and opinion,......and then bitched because people had an opinion on something.

Quote:The Super Bowl did not even reach halftime before MSNBC—now rebranded as MSNOW—turned it into a political event.

During what was supposed to be a cultural segment ahead of the halftime show, the network invited Pablo José Hernández Rivera, the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, to discuss Bad Bunny’s performance.

Instead of focusing on the music or the significance of the moment in entertainment terms, Hernández used the interview to launch into a broad political critique—attacking ICE, criticizing federal policy, and framing the halftime show as a form of resistance.

The Super Bowl, before millions of viewers, became a vehicle for political messaging rather than a shared national moment.

The most glaring problem with Hernández’s remarks was how detached they were from reality. He repeatedly criticized ICE, describing abuses and disruptions allegedly carried out in Puerto Rico. But ICE is not operating in Puerto Rico in the way he claimed.

The island is not an ICE enforcement hub, nor is it experiencing widespread immigration raids of the kind Hernández described.

Turning a Super Bowl interview into an anti-ICE monologue—about an agency that is not even meaningfully present on the island—was not just misleading; it was absurd.

This halftime moment was never about music. It was about using the Super Bowl as a political platform. MSNOW did not redirect the conversation or challenge the claims being made.

Instead, it allowed the country’s most-watched cultural event to be reframed as a statement about immigration, grievance politics, and cultural resentment.

The network then attempted to preempt criticism by portraying any objection as “hateful rhetoric” or an effort to deny Puerto Ricans their American identity. That framing was dishonest. Puerto Ricans are American citizens. That fact is not contested. The criticism was about appropriateness, not citizenship.

A national institution designed to unite Americans across politics and backgrounds was being repurposed for ideological signaling.

The irony becomes unavoidable when Hernández’s own political record is considered.

From the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, he has criticized Puerto Rico’s government for advocating statehood in Washington, calling those efforts unnecessary and arguing they distort the will of the Puerto Rican people.

In other words, the same official demanding Puerto Rican cultural centrality in America’s most symbolic national event has argued against Puerto Rico becoming a U.S. state.

That contradiction exposes a reality MSNOW refused to acknowledge: Puerto Rico can be a U.S. territory without its culture being synonymous with American national culture.

Citizenship status does not automatically redefine national institutions. Puerto Rican culture is distinct, legitimate, and worthy of respect—but distinct cultures do not override the purpose of events meant to reflect a shared American civic identity.

By allowing a halftime interview to devolve into an attack on ICE and a broader political statement, MSNOW confirmed what many viewers already suspected.

The Super Bowl was politicized not by critics reacting afterward, but by a media segment that chose activism over unity.

I Watched the Super Bowl Halftime Show So You Didn’t Have To

Quote: came into this year’s Super Bowl halftime show with low expectations and an open mind. I wasn’t expecting anything groundbreaking. I wasn’t even looking for something particularly memorable.

What I did expect, however, was a performance that felt appropriate for the Super Bowl—an event that, for better or worse, functions as the most distinctly American cultural moment of the year. That expectation was not met.

From the start, the choice of Bad Bunny as the halftime performer never made much sense. This has nothing to do with partisan politics. Whether a performer supports Donald Trump, opposes him, or avoids politics entirely is irrelevant.

The issue is representation. The Super Bowl is not just another concert venue. Rather, it is a national event watched by tens of millions of Americans and marketed as a celebration of American culture.

The United States is a melting pot of cultures, languages, and backgrounds. But American culture still has shared foundations, and the most basic one is language. English is the common thread that allows a country this large and diverse to function as a single society.

When a halftime show is dominated by music performed largely in a language most viewers don’t understand, it can cease to feel like a unifying moment and instead seem disconnected from the audience it’s intended to entertain.

This is not an argument against Spanish music or Spanish-speaking artists. Bad Bunny is undeniably popular and successful. His music has a place, and his fans are real.

But the Super Bowl halftime show is not about individual popularity alone. It is about creating a moment that resonates broadly with the American public. That did not happen here.

Objectively, the performance itself was horrible. There was little actual singing, minimal engagement, and almost no effort to connect with the audience watching at home.

The energy felt flat. The set lacked spectacle. Even setting aside the language issue, it was simply boring. As a piece of entertainment, it failed to justify its place on the biggest stage in American sports.

What made the situation worse was how politicized the performance became—though not by conservatives. The politicization first came from the left, which treated the selection itself as a cultural statement. That framing turned the halftime show into a symbol rather than a celebration.

The Super Bowl should not be used to make ideological points about identity or culture.

There have been plenty of halftime performers who were not conservatives, not Republicans, and not Trump supporters. That has never been the issue.

Those performers understood their responsibility: connect with the audience, communicate in a shared language, and deliver a performance suited to the moment.

This halftime show did none of those things. It should not have happened, and it should serve as a lesson. The Super Bowl is an American institution, and treating its halftime show accordingly is not exclusionary—it is a matter of respect for the audience that made it what it is.

From the limited I saw, that 2nd viewpoint is very accurate. It was boring. It was bad music. It was decidedly less of a spectacle than previous Super Bowl halftime shows. And it didn't appeal to many Americans. From someone I know who performs, however, it was apparently pretty creative. But you had to be Puerto Rican or really familiar with Puerto Rico to understand much of the symbolism.

Bill, according to the actually numbers if a black man is shot outside doing anything, there is virtually a 96% chance he is shot by another black man. Not a white man or a cop. In fact the FBI stats show a cop is far more likely to shoot a white man when they actually have an encounter than a black man.

Again, that is a perfect example of how the dishonest gaslighting media narratives have so warped perceptions that they are 180 degrees opposite of actually reality.

Those dishonest narratives are so effective I have seen countless vids of random people (both black and white) being asked and saying "thousands" of unarmed black men are shot by cops every year. The factual reality is in a nation of over 350 million people there are about 6-8 such incidents a year nationwide. And more than half of those have specific circumstance that led the cop to believe the unarmed man was armed and highly dangerous.

I think its pretty clear the media's BS gaslighting narratives are incredibly effective. Even you have half bought into them

That guy got shot because he grabbed for the guy's gun instead of waiting for the police to defuse the situation. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. And he probably was going through that vacant house looking for things to steal.

And the guys with the guns also played stupid games and won the prize of years in jail. They were playing cop.

I don't have much sympathy for someone who trespassed and then grabbed for a gun.

So no, that doesn't bother me. Stupid people met and bad things happened, just like with Obama's "son" and the Hispanic wannabe cop.

I have no idea what you're referencing, bullet.

I was alluding to Ahmaud Arbery.

I have lots of MAGA friends who live in the same condo building I live in and we meet for coffee every Saturday. When Arbery was shot just for jogging, they kind of shrugged and said, "That's unfortunate." But when pro athletes take a knee during the anthem, my same MAGA friends go ballistic. Seems odd to me.

HOT TAKES: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Performance Was a Middle Finger to America

Quote:The National Football League hasn't much cared what conservatives or anyone who actually likes America thinks in a long time, and they just emphasized that with Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show performance, which was even worse than we thought it would be.

Heading up to the performance, the predictable cries of "racist!" were screamed at anyone who had a problem with his selection, but it wasn't that Bad Bunny sings in a language other than English. It's his hatred for the United States of America.

Fast forward to the performance, which was almost entirely in Spanish . . .

. . . and he ended his performance with 3 words in English, "God Bless America," but he didn't mean it the way one might hope he did.

He then listed mostly Latin American countries as performers pranced around holding those flags, then said in Spanish, "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" before spiking a football that had "Together, we are America" written on it. Meaning, together all of these countries are America.

Nope.

My friend, California attorney Laura Powell, elaborated:

Bad Bunny was criticized for refusing to stand for the song “God Bless America” during a Yankees game in October.

During the Super Bowl halftime show today, he said “God Bless America,” but don’t be fooled into thinking this was some kind of conciliatory gesture.

He proceeded to list names of countries in what Spanish speakers consider a single continent called “América,” making it clear that he intended to shift the meaning of the phrase from an expression of patriotism for the United States to praise for mostly Latin American countries.

At least Lady Gaga sang in English.

Anthony Scaramucci, who hasn't been right about anything, really, continued being wrong.

Former RedState editor Kira Davis nailed it.

And then she nailed it harder.

I've heard from two friends so far whose first language was Spanish and they couldn't understand what Bad Bunny was saying, and it looks like they're not alone.

President Trump posted about it on Truth Social:

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This “Show” is just a “slap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Of course, Green Day also performed, as Friend-of-RedState John Ondrasik reminded me.

I know every halftime show can't be legendary, but maybe we could set the bar just a smidge higher?

Here are a few I particularly enjoyed. First, Prince:

ZZ Top:

Michael Jackson:

There were a lot of break-ins in their neighborhood so 3 guys decided to play cop. Arbery stopped on his jog and starts going through this vacant house/construction site. They assumed he was robbing the place so they cornered him and held him at gunpoint while they called the police. He tried to get the gun from one of the guys and got shot.

He got shot for trying to take a gun away from someone, not for jogging while Black.

I started to mention that the real difference between Hawaii and PR is the culture. Whatever PR is, it's the opposite of Pacific Islander culture. Day and night.

I know. I spent two years working in Hawaii, and had many meals in locals' homes. All of us would do well to live life like those folks do.

Family is always first. Religion is important. Work is important, but so is play. They take pride in the appearance of their communities, even when they are poor.

PR? It's like a gang took over most of the island.

I live in Florida. Have several PR friends. They tell me it is crime infested. Bars on the windows in the cities. They say that San Juan has the worst traffic they have ever been in. My friends never go back except for occasional family visit. I had a friend girl who was a nationalist. She loved PR but when her stateside job options ran out she had to return to PR and was sup depressed because of poor job opportunities.

Someone up stream said PR would vote for independence. That is not true. They prefer statehood or the status quo. They aren’t stupid.

Over 2500 blacks murdered by other blacks every single year, 96% of black homicides committed by other blacks but somehow this case is far more pertinent to what is actually going on in American today?

Which ironically is exactly what I was trying to warn him about earlier in the thread, falling for BS gaslighting race narratives by the media. Then he turns right around and gives us another perfect example of him buying the media gaslighting native hook line and sinker.

Over 2500 blacks murdered by other blacks every single year, 96% of black homicides committed by other blacks but somehow this case is far more pertinent to what is actually going on in American today?

I think its pretty clear the media brainwashing has worked on him no mater how much he pretend otherwise.

Thousands of Black on Black murders every year...not a peep.

A few White on Black murders every year...we must blow up this racist country.

Further showing that politics is their one true god.

I didn't start any of those threads, I never suggested they should not have an opinion and I have not reported any posts at all to you so stop lumping me in with those who did.

Your hypocrisy is through the roof at the moment.

If you took it as "you" personally, I apologize. I was just referring to people on this board in general.
