Rinse, repeat
It was obvious, at least to me, why Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Green Day were headlining the Super Bowl halftime show. Each of them had loud anti-ICE messages heading into the Super Bowl weekend. All of their clips went viral.
Lady Gaga and her usual blithering nonsense virtue signaled over in Japan.
Green Day, a band that is no longer relevant and is sponsored by Spotify, had its usual anti-Trump screeching that then went viral, telling ICE to quit their job and calling out Kristi Noem, JD Vance, etc. I don’t believe this clip is from the Super Bowl, though the title is clickbait.
And Bad Bunny made an appearance at the Grammys, with ICE OUT. He got a standing ovation for it.
And all of them were dropping into the middle of a flaming culture war between the Left and the Right that has almost become a hot war over illegal immigration. What did they think would happen? Well, they already knew. It would be a ratings bonanza with each side playing their part in our virtual Civil War, and play their part they did.

Totally cut me out. I watched in & out to know when Turning Point’s half-time show was. I think the Patriots won.
Ratings is what it’s all about.
I turned it off just before halftime
I actually don’t know who won
The NFL hired Rabid Rabbit to FURTHER divide America. They began the division a few years ago when they began performing “The Black National Anthem”.
Why would the NFL and NBC want to boost rating?
Is there some vague correlation between ratings and the price of current and future Super Bowl ad rates.
But it appears to me that they're into virtue signaling.
Kid Rock had other ideas
It didn’t boost ratings.
The NFL math: One minute of Clydesdales, a Bald Eagle and Freebird = 30 minutes of young homosexual Hispanic girlie men.
No it didn’t. Make no mistake, advertisers care about money alone in the end. The bean counters will be running the numbers and they will embrace the halftime “style” that had more eyes.

Was trying to find a link showing that. Couldn’t. You maybe have better skills/luck?
Whatever moron hired that scum should be fired, then run out of town!
The team owners collectively hired Roger Goodell. I don’t think you can fire them.
The official numbers aren't out yet but early estimations between broadcast and streaming were that 128 million watched yesterday's halftime show, down from 133 million the previous year with Kendrick Lamar (in a telecast that featured both President Trump and Taylor Swift in attendance, neither of whom were at yesterday's game).
4-6 million switched over to the TPUSA show with Kid Rock.
“….The Patriots won.”
Can I come live in your world? Because it’s awful sad in my version of New England today.
Didn’t work with me. Then again I’ve never been a football fan.
All publicity is good publicity.
Won’t work with me. I HATE football, only watched at daughter’s house with a friend because they both like it. Best reason, Katy makes great dinners.
Football-watching friend who moved from Spokane to upstate New York called during the “show” he thought was as awful as we did. I guess people will always watch football, but they’ll go do something else during halftime show. Something more fun like doing dishes or putting a load of laundry in,
And yes, cleaning the catbox.
