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."

we didn't sick [sic] around for the other acts

Freudian slip? :-)

At the end of the 2nd quarter, the network should have announced, "Please sick around for our halftime show".

I haven’t (intentionally) watched the Super Bowl halftime show or commercials in at least a decade. The actual football, sure, but none of that other garbage.

Didn’t watch - was not interested in watching 4 hours of commercials broken up by occasional bits of football, with an interlude starring some fags and a chunky black stripper.

I agree it was disgusting. Thankfully, I didn’t watch it, but have been reading all about it. I cannot believe the Superbowl is now a place to promote the homosexual agenda and bash cops at the same time. God help us.
