J-Lo's 'political statement on immigration': Twitter goes wild for Super Bowl half-time show with 'Latino children in cages singing Born in the USA'
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 3, 2020 | Sophie Tanno, Chris Pleasance, and Sameer Suri

.Lo got political during her Super Bowl half time show which featured Latino children in cages who then broke into a rendition of 'Born in the USA' in what appeared to be a swipe at Donald Trump's immigration policies. Both Shakira and J.Lo put their Latina heritage front and center of the show, with the former - who was born in Colombia - taking to the stage shouting 'hola Miami!' before bringing out rapper Bad Bunny who sung in Spanish. But it was J.Lo who made the bigger statement during the latter part of her performance, when the lights rose on children including her own 11-year-old daughter Emme sat in cages - which appeared to reference Trump's hardline immigration policy that has seen children detained after attempting to cross the southern border illegally. Emme began by singing part of her song Let's Get Loud before J.Lo appeared in a giant American flag coat, which had the Puerto Rican flag on the other side.

I do believe I'm done with the NFL.

If the actions of that half-tard in-breed of a crack-baby spawn, Jay Z and his slut wife, Bitch Donkey are an indication of the direction of the "management" of the NFL...they can take their silliness and shove it.

The playing or performance of the National Anthem of this country is NOT the venue for stupid-ass protests.

Half-time show also featured simulated female oral sex and masturbation, pole dancing, and bondage. Typical liberal family entertainment.

Overall thought it was a good game for a change. Refs for the most part let them play and didn’t determine the outcome.

My wife wanted me to watch it. I didn't see the kids in cages, and it wasn't my kind of music.

That being said, Shakira is absolutely smoking hot. So, well, if that's what you'd see in a South Beach strip club, I'm not complaining.

A leftist woman I know commented that complainers about the wholesome halftime show are “jealous”.

When she started doing the Michael Jackson ‘touching herself’ and the writhing, twerking exposure of her ‘parts’ .....and a mass of other chicks emulated her, I felt like I was watching one of Dante’s Rings of Hell......

I am truly embarrassed I watched any of this.....

And how sad, she used her own daughter on stage!

I never watch the NFL or Super Bowl.

My spouse loves the Hallmark kitten/cat bowls.

Franklin Graham noted last night he was disappointed in the NFL and Pepsi for sponsoring this.

Honestly, i thought it kind of blah despite all the flash and sizzle. The only two memorable things from that supposed extravaganza were Shakira’s and Lopez’ a**es. Sure as heck, neither one has much of a voice.

I decided to end my boycott and root for Kansas City because their players showed some class quoting scripture and wearing Trump gear. The halftime show made me turn it off in disgust and go to bed early because I am married to a Latino with far more interesting equipment than J-Lo is putting on display.

Just as “fascinating” is FRs SJWs and your constant virtue signaling. The ‘rats have nothing on you.

I have watched J Lo perform a few times, and she will invariably turn her back to the camera, spread her legs, and bend over to the floor, accentuating her behind. There is no attempt at any artistic flourishes or teasing; she is in fact mooning her audience/nation/world.

Also, she evidently can’t dance. While Shakira was in fact dancing, J Lo was tumbling and being twirled and tossed around by the men lined up doing whatever they were doing, or she was spinning around on a pole. I think she made a movie doing that.

... but I didn’t get the kids in cages reference. Went right over my head. The ‘cages’ looked like giant Christmas ornaments or Cindarella coaches without wheels. I guess I’m not woke enough.

Yeah I missed that too.

I do not watch the National Anthem being butchered by “performers” personalizing it. Why are we the only nation that puts up with this crap?

I also do not listen to any games. Announcers are all lousy. Especially the sideline nitwits.

Halftime show? Forget it. Thought it was impossible to make me long for the Up With People shows. Watch second half only.

A bunch of us were watching the game. Talking about Jennifer Lopez, we all thought... she's a singer and recording artist, but no one could name a single song she's known for. And as far as acting... well I liked her in Out of Sight but that was twenty-five years ago. So why is she so popular? Her a**? I dunno...

That sparkly display of narcissism by JoLOW gave me an up front and personal “view” of her, which was shocking.

Next time maybe she can use dental floss for a costume.

Sorry guys, just NOT enjoyable.

The children was the final straw.

Watched it. Didn’t like it. Too chaotic. Poor female representation of Latin Culture, if that’s what they wanted. Are they all Stormy Daniels wannabes?

And the Feminazis don’t want women looked at like Sexual Objects.. Can I get an Harrumph?

It was a vile display of stripper poles, lewdness and simulated orgies with children present and viewing. She needs some serious counseling.

As for the kids in the ‘cages’, to me they looked like flower buds. I never, ever thought “cage” when looking at them. So, if that’s what they were trying to get across, it failed with me.

I couldn’t understand most of what they sang anyway.

(On a side note...for a 50-year-old, J-Lo looked damned good. Shakira was no slouch either.)
