Have you ever looked at who owns many of the NFL teams? Think of the colors blue and white.

What’s the count there?

If the game of Football was not so popular and loved in the USA… The NFL would have folded years ago

LMAO! But it is popular, so what the fawk are you talking about? Look at the money the players are being paid. They are paid that because the teams/league makes enough to pay them that.

Your statement is like saying “If McDonalds didn’t sell hamburgers, they would close.” McDonald’s does sell hamburgers, so the point is baseless.

white liberal virtue signalers who don't watch sports will be huddled around the tv for halftime with their soy milk and tofu not understanding a god damn word from this bum and go online to celebrate best halftime show ever.

and white maga virtue signalers who don't watch sports will be huddled around the tv for am radio halftime with their bud lights watching a guy who writes lyrics about banging underage girls celebrate it as the worst halftime show ever

They have such a market share in the U.S., the way to expand the business is to gain international market share. As such, they have regular international games and they book the most frequently downloaded artist in the world to perform their marquee event halftime show.

Sounds to me like they are making sound business decisions. They will not lose many fans, if any, over Bad Bunny, but they will gain viewers for tomorrow they may not have had.

They grow every year. They are finding new ways to grow. They are outstanding at business.

Kap happened a decade ago. The same people crying now were crying then. They never stopped growing.

Do you not remember how pissed people got at the NFL after Kap started kneeling? Then you had people doing that shite after George Floyd. A lot of people left for a long time. Most came back but for a good while the Shield was hemorrhaging viewers. Some people still will not watch the NFL to this day though. If the NFL wants to keep letting junk like that happen and basically just say to hell with half its viewers then people will eventually walk off again and never come back.

Dude A rock band of guys 60+ isn't a halftime act for the Super Bowl

---

For many years it was, generally successfully, with lesser bands than them

The thing that changed wasn’t whether Metallica could succeed in that role (yes, yes they could) but whether they are eligible

Come on, Intro to "enter the sandman" to start the show. Be like the Virginia Tech entrance but with the actual band performing. That shite just cool dont matter how old you are. Its not too far left or too far right. Several songs that just fit.

I would have LOVED for it to be Huey Lewis and the News. A beloved San Francisco band. Unfortunately Huey has a rare auditory health condition now that has ended his singing days.

That and the fact there's no taste in great music anymore.

Everyone i know has been to mcdonalds. Not a single fricking person has ever heard of bugs bunny before the super bowl announcement. His music is terrible and majority people can't understand a single lyric.
