My favorite is watching righties melt over a halftime show during a game they vowed never to watch. Big beta energy from you guys.

Nobody is melting. Why are all the junior college prog filth coyouns here lately. Govt shutdow got yah?

Wouldn't doubt it. (I know a couple came from the College Sports and Conference Realignment Board because I've seen them post a lot over there before Charlie Kirk's assassination.)

Southwest Louisiana (delusionally calling themselves Univ of Louisiana, as if that were something to be proud of) and other low iq sunbelt idiots are going to get a rude awakening in here

We dont suffer coyouns.

I lived in that shitehole state for five years and nobody intentionally goes to any schools there but Tulane and LSU. Its amazing. Lafayette fans are mostly non existent the few i met were complete basket case dorks.

Sad. Bigly

Insanely stupid.

Yes, they are. I agree with you on that. My point was I just want to watch the game itself, not the halftime show.

Look, both you and mlb make valid points and I agree with both of them. I agree with him in not caring about the halftime show. I agree with you that the NFL is still alienating the majority of its fans. The only way for the NFL to listen is for us to quit watching. (Of course, that's not going to happen because a lot of us, myself included, still love to watch the NFL.) The next best thing might be to have enough people boycott the SB Halftime Show or even worse, have some crazy thing happen like with the infamous Wardrobe Malfunction at Super Bowl XXXVIII. (That's 38 for those who can't read Roman numerals.) Something has got to be done, though, to get the league to wake up from its SJW fever dream and get back to serving the fans with content that will let us forget about the world around us for three hours, give or take fifteen or twenty minutes. lol This might be it, if enough people say enough. We'll see.

I’ve never cared or watched a halftime show. Ever.
Like you said, I just don’t get the NFL pandering to a group that does nothing for them, while urinating on the hand that feeds them.

It's all optics; the Black community, which comprises a small portion of the population, is overrepresented in sports media, much like on Madison Avenue and in Hollywood. Madison Avenue implies that all households are either mixed or LGBT. If we accept Hollywood's version, Roland in the Dark Tower is a black man, not the tall, blue-eyed, pale, and gaunt gunslinger depicted in the seven books that make up that incredible series. (And screw Stephen King anyway.)

There's no logic behind it. White men, mostly European white Anglo-Saxon Protestant men, stole this land from the native tribes /sarc.

Nearly all of the people who helped forge this nation into the Industrial Age were white. Maintaining the authority and prestige of this nation has primarily been done on the backs of white people. That's not to suggest that others haven't or don't contribute.

We are being attacked and vilified by the forces of Islam and Marxism today. They are either engaged in an unholy and painfully awkward collaboration to destroy or subjugate us, or they are vying for control of us. Either way, they both wish to topple our republic.

You see no issue with the decision to put him on?

Zero issue.

NFL being a private organization, has every right to make any decision it wishes in the matter.

And private individuals have every right to make any decision they make regarding the NFL and their decision.

Its called freedom of choice.

And those private individuals who make their own choice on that NFLs choice, have every right to get bent as far out of shape and as irate as they wish.

Bunny has political stances. As you do. As I do. Feel free to get as bent out of shape as you feel the urge and need to do so. If you feel the absolute urge to make this *your* pollical battlefield, go for it, my friend.

I dont feel that urge. There are stances of his I dont agree with, and stances I do. Have fun with your 'bent out of shape'. I dont chastise you for that, free country and all that jazz.

But seemingly you feel the need to chastise others for their views. Imagine that.

I didn’t ask you. And I don’t really care what your opinion is because it’s not important.

And I’m not chastising anybody, you absolute clown.

I’m saying it’s a tone deaf move on the part of the NFL. More than half of the people paying attention to the league have no idea who bad bunny is.

If you can’t figure that out, you’re even dumber than most in this demographic think you are.

And you dont seem to realize that the greatest opportunity for inroads (ie new fans, new growth) are precisely the people that will watch Bad Bunny. There is huge demographic trap the NFL faces, one that if you advance it 15 years will be horrible for the NFL. Bad Bunny represents an inroad to attract that demographic that they currently are weakest in.

So ***** and whine all you want. Sorry the league is 'tone deaf' to your precious wailings. They made a move here to reach out to growth opportunities. BB isn't my cup of tea, but Im not nearly as butthurt as you are. Kind of obviously.

Clearly you don’t run/own a business.

You expand your brand by keeping your good paying, repeat customers happy, that’s priority one. The more they buy the better. They’re legacy customers, especially in the world of sports franchises. Their kids will pick the spending up right where the parents left off.

Branching out on that process requires identifying a less mature audience who will most likely help sustain your future, financially. They’ll spend their money on your product but maybe not at the same level today as they will in the near future.

The bad bunny crowd can’t sustain you now, and don’t. And they won’t be able to sustain you in the future. At all.

Wait, the bulk of Bad Bunny—such a stupid freaking name anyway—fans aren't white, fairly affluent sports enthusiasts? Or did I get the fact that most NFL fans, at least those who spend the most money, are white and fairly affluent wrong?
