NFL sends radically mixed message with Super Bowl 2021 halftime show (rapper thug performs)
NY Post ^ | 2-6-21 | Phil Mushnick

The NFL season ends Sunday, and I suspect it will end the same way it began: with reminders that we’re all racists who need to change our ways. No specifics will be given. None are ever given.

And having not oppressed a minority since breakfast — hell, I’ve been a virtual shut-in since March — I’m sick of it.

It’s all part of the radically mixed, highly selective social and racial messages that have been delivered with the cowardly, pandering certification and capitulation of Roger “The PSL Salesman” Goodell and a chosen blindness to what most continues to afflict black America.

Scheduled to perform at Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime is the popular black entertainer who calls himself The Weeknd. It’s unlikely he’ll perform this one — though you never know — but here are the lyrics from one of his numbers, titled “Ebony.” Apparently it’s a love song. I’ve added the edits:

I’m looking forward to missing the SB.

I won’t be watching, but The Weeknd isn’t even really a rapper. He sings and dances...

I had barely heard of him. Didn’t want to look up his ‘music’.

Won’t be missing anything. Not interested in being lectured to by Kaepernick and Goodell. I’m sure the Pepsi halftime will be a full-on leftist fest. Not watching.

It’s worth noting that a few weeks ago when CBS’ James Brown, a black man who often decries racial discrimination, announced on CBS’ NFL pregame that The Weeknd would headline this Super Bowl, he said he was delighted by this news — as was CBS, the NFL, and NFL Talent and Justice Coordinator Jay-Z. Pepsi is the halftime sponsor and enabler.

James Brown... ugh. Party-line towing sycophant. Harvard grad too. America is such racist country isn't it James?!

He’s still foul mouthed and throws the N word around, but he’s tame compared to many.

Other than that both retired last week,after terrific careers, what do Daniel Murphy and Dustin Pedroia have in common? A: Early in their careers both were fully and expertly dismissed by Mike Francesa as totally bereft of MLB talent.

LOL! Still I loved Francesa on the radio.

That remains to be seen.

Rather than watch the Super Bowl propaganda, one’s time would be better spent resorting a collection of toenail clippings.

If you are supporting the NFL you are the problem.

I don’t think I have watched a football or basketball game, in 10 or 11 years. I don’t miss it.

I’m more MLB than NFL, can someone tell me if the in-person fans will be cardboard cutouts or not? If humans, will the stadium be full and normal, without “social distancing”?

The only reason, IMHO, to tune in, is to see what the military does for their part in the halftime show. I’ve heard rumors that they will not disappoint.

It is depressing to live around Tampa Bay.

This has been the best 12 months ever for Tampa Bay sports: the Rays in the World Series, the Rowdies the division champs, the Lightning winning the Stanley Cup, and now the Buccaneers in Super Bowl Elvee. But all the political Marxist BLM-racist crap makes every but of it stink like an outhouse with a Sears catalogue.

I won’t be watching tomorrow, as I have not watched any NFL since the Bucs and every other team took the knee before Marx and stopped anyone taking the knee before Christ.

Super Bowl?

Is that better than a stainless steel bowl?

Or did they mean Super Bowel?

Grown men (many now tattooed & pierced thugs), getting dirty rich for playing with a ball with other rich, grown men, and other men and women getting rich for talking about the rich, grown men that play with balls...that’s pro sports.

And how many American men know more about pro sports than about their childrens’ schools or neighbors or county government?

And I pay more for beer and pizza because they pay a lot to advertise on pro sports shows.

Hope the game is good, I like watching good football, the halftime show I have not seen in years - I think Rolling Stones is the only one I watched - thankfully no wardrobe malfunctions on that one.
