Super Bowl struggling to find acts to join Maroon 5 at halftime
NY Post Page Six ^ | December 14, 2018 | Jem Aswad, Variety

Who would have thought that the Super Bowl Halftime show, an American institution watched by more than 100 million people, would become the least wanted gig in music? But thanks to the ongoing controversy concerning the NFL’s stance on a player’s right to protest, brought to the forefront by football’s top conscientious objector Colin Kaepernick, Maroon 5 are learning the precarious stance that the performance represents.

According to sources, the band has reached out to more than a half-dozen stars to appear as featured guests during the 13-minute slot midway through Super Bowl LIII, but so far, none have agreed to do it.

If there's a worse band than Maroon 5 I have yet to hear them.

The Shaggs were better than the Beatles (according to Frank Zappa...), and we all know how brutally overrated the Beatles were.

Never heard it, but then around here I don’t think many people listen to American pop music.

“If there’s a worse band than Maroon 5 I have yet to hear them.”

You must be fortunate enough to have never listened to Nickleback.

Thug rappers abound. Should be no problem getting them to perform for the thug players, and the thug loving fans.

I don't think the issue is that people don't want to perform because they dislike the keenler. On the contrary, I think they don't want to perform because they don't want to be seen as supporting the NFL because racism.

That one guy single handedly created a giant crack in the NFL that is slowly, ever so slowy, splitting the whole thing open.

Why does it have to be diverse?

It didn't have to be diverse when Beyonce put on an all-black show complete with black panther outfits and black power salutes. That diversity rule only applies in certain circumstances, it turns out.

THANK YOU LORD! I have found a kindred spirit. The f###king Beatles are the most overrated musical group in the entire universe EVER. I’ve smashed radio buttons changing the channel when one of their songs comes on.

If I was in charge, I'd get a bunch of artists with full-blown patriotic songs. See how the NFL likes that!

Buddy Brown
Madison Rising
Toby Keith
Trace Adkins
Earl Dibbles, Jr. (Granger Smith)
Rodney Atkins

There's plenty more but html on a phone sucks, my hands are getting tired

Yep, I was just going to suggest Nickelback as the perfect wingman act for Maroon5.

At that point the NFL’s doom would be fully sealed.

".... Who would have thought that the Super Bowl Halftime show, an American institution watched by more than 100 million people, would become the least wanted gig in music?...."

And who would have thought that the Oscars would become the least popular job for comedians to host because no one can pass muster with the Hollywood Left's suffocating "rules" for speech and behavior.

Nothing matches the democRATS and liberal Left when it comes to putting a damper on a party or killing a boner. These people hate everything and they have turned our society into a bunch of fun-avoiding zombies walking around on eggshells for fear of "offending" some triggered snowflake somewhere.
