The NFL's Super Bowl 50 halftime show was embedded with an array of political messages hiding in plain view. From the rainbow theme to the Black Panther suits worn by Beyonce's dancers, the show was meant to celebrate a social platform that took its cues from the Democratic Party in a key presidential election year. "Everything at the Super Bowl halftime show was covered in rainbows, from Coldplay singer Chris Martin's shirt to the stage he was dancing on," noted Seth Millstein, a writer for Bustle.com, a left-of-center website targeting women readers. "At first, it seemed like an arbitrary artistic decision, but the intent became clear at the end. After the performances were over, the audience flipped over rainbow-colored placards that read 'Believe In Love,' a tacit endorsement of marriage equality."
The Super Bowl's pro-"gay" marriage moment was "refreshing and unexpected, and illustrated just how much public sentiment on the issue has changed over the last several years," Millstein gushed, noting that the game was hosted by San Francisco, a bastion of the left. Millstein said he "felt a chill down my spine (the good kind) when I saw 'Believe In Love' displayed so prominently at one of the most popular sports events in America. This was a combination of local pride, I was born and used to live in San Francisco, and the simple reminder of the country’s progress on LGBTQ acceptance."

In another facet of the NFL's halftime show, female pop star Beyonce and her dancers took on a decidedly anti-cop tone, coming out in Black Panther costumes to perform for millions of viewers around the world...

I’m not sure Puppymonkeybaby isn’t advertising magic mushrooms.
Peyton Manning promising to down a case of Budweiser HAS to be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
One reason why I haven’t watched it in years.
Ditto with the Oscars.
And I don’t know why people make such a big deal over the commercials and the entertainment provided at the Super Bowel. They suck too.
I watched the Super Bowl and wondered, what the heck does the rest of the world think about this?
Almost everything Obama has changed in America, even the stuff that became law, does not represent some kind of wave(s) of the future. No, no, no...It’s all just a wave of experimentation. Ya got that down? It’s just a wave of experimentation.
Time to cut tax breaks for the NFL
I usually watch the half-time show, but this one was so bad and Leftist and polically correct, I just skipped over it.
I couldn’t believe half the stadium flashing the rainbow, “Believe in Love” sign. It should have read, “Believe in Sodomy”
Funny thing is... The whole spectacle was lost on me. I turned to my wife and said “is this supposed to be like hippies and flowers in your hair sort of thing?”
We had no idea. And the Black Panther anniversary is so far off my radar, I didn’t even notice. Anyone who would be influenced by $hit like that has half a brain anyway. Or already has their mind made up.
Well it was NorCal...and not all that far from SF...
Still like tbat forced fumble, resulting in a TD...
I haven’t watched one since the early 90’s, same with Oscars. CMA’s went away about the same time too when they stopped playing country music for this new crock (country-rock) stuff.
I spent yesterday sending rounds down range until dusk. Then a couple of hours inhaling Hoppe’s #9 and reloading.
I did not know who the half time singer was. All that I noticed was she has fat thighs and and a fat butt. She looked awful in that slut suit.
Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
The irony being that the people the halftime show was designed to appeal to are the same ones trying to kill the NFL over violence, safety and concussions.
Does the NFL really think this’ll buy them any sort of goodwill with that crowd?
True enough. The vortex of Leftism. Where I was born and raised. Why I’m a freedom-fighting Constitutional originalist Christian who loathes and despises the oppressive, coercive, and hypocritical Left, I’ll never know. God gave me common sense I guess. Thank you Jesus.
Yeah, not really a half-time show, more like a circus side show.
Actually I think it was a Buddhism thing. Rainbows are a prominent symbol in Tibetan Buddhism and yesterday was Buddhist New Years day, plus the “Om mani padme hum” mantra was written on the drum kit. Couldn’t see if it was anywhere else cause I was watching from a table at Steak and Shake, lol, but as someone with a little experience in Tibetan Buddhism it was obvious to me.
Watching the halftime show with my two young kids, Beyonce steps on stage and starts gyrating like some sort of dog in heat. Maybe the NFL should apply a whore-alert before the start of the show?
Totally distasteful, no class, sad and pathetic statement about what qualifies as entertainment in our society.
I was too naive to pick up on the BLM (or whatever) references. How about multi-zillionaire Beyonce and her husband actually do something relevant to help those they claim to represent? Invest in schools? Promote jobs? Promote faith and family?
