The usual TV onslaught of (brainwashing) advertisements featuring black man with a white woman? These will not be seen during the Superbowl.

.....

I will watch tosee if that is true

Who really cares? You can view any of those groups of musicians any other time you want.

I think Prince may have put on the best half-time show ever.

The same reason why Rock Bands aren’t at the Grammies .....

Correct. Rock has gone the way of Jazz and Swing. Sure, some people still listen to it, and some younger folks still play it, but it's an aging genre.

Probably won't see The Academy of Ancient Music performing at Half Time (although they might play at double time) any time soon.

Because racism, and because some black lives matter more than other black lives matter.

EXCERPT:

The league has worked with Roc Nation, a full-service management, music publishing, and entertainment company founded and owned by Jay-Z, to help its Inspire Change Initiative. The company was created by the NFL after an agreement with a coalition of players who demonstrated during the National Anthem to protest social and racial injustice in the country.

Jay-Z's partnership with the NFL has pushed the culture forward with the halftime performances

Here’s how Jay-Z changed the way the NFL chooses its halftime performer — despite never performing it himself

Cause nobody has showed their boobs. Really the big run of old white rockers who know how to keep their clothes on was in reaction to the “malfunction” that created YouTube. Rock has no popularity anymore. Still lots of great stuff happening, but none of it goes gold, forget multi-platinum. So rock is almost as likely to return to the half-time stage as Up With People.

My first choice would be Commander Cody And The Lost Planet Airmen.

And why not a Country and Western half-time? A Dolly Parton wardrobe malfunction would be a show for the ages.

“Because autotune doesn’t work in stadiums....”

That would definitely cancel all the halftime shows.

“The NFL is trying to get Milleniums and Zoomers to watch.”

Then all they have to do is follow the brainwashing routines, like ensure each play is focused grouped to please the largest audience, make sure they brainwash the little tikes to think winning isn’t everything, give each team participation trophies, and ensure no team says mean thing to the other team.

“Are blacks the largest superbowl audience?”

Nope, they are just 3%.

“Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B have taken over.”

RAP: Retarded African Poetry.

RAP has nothing to do with R&B. R&B has soul, is music, and is played and sung by great musical talents.

Makegoods say otherwise.

And it’s not just about the number of eyeballs.

It’s also about demographics.

And the NFL’s suck.

Note to the NFL and Paramount: And if you are paying the Harkles to attend your latest bleepshow, you guys really ARE desperate...
