The Safe House of Southeast Missouri, the Southeast Missouri Network Against Sexual Violence (SEMO-NASV) and the Zonta Club of Cape Girardeau released a joint statement Monday expressing "disappointment and disgust" at the choice of rap artists Eminem and Dr. Dre as halftime entertainment for Sunday's Super Bowl in Los Angeles.
"The organizers probably did not give enough consideration to the content of their lyrics. They're frankly inappropriate and disrespectful and describe violence toward women to make it seem acceptable in society," said Jessica Hill, executive director of the Safe House of Southeast Missouri.
Eminem was the last victim of 911.
My point exactly. The NFL cannot attract the younger audience it aimed for because the only remaining viewers are those who tell themselves it's the same product they were watching two decades ago.
None of these shows were to appeal a 35-55 demographic:
2013 - Beyoncé
2014 - Bruno Mars
2015 - Katy Perry
2016 - Coldplay, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars
2017 - Lady Gaga
2018 - Justin Timberlake
It took a Super Bowl appearance for these idiots to finally listen to what’s being said in rap? I grew up on Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. I don’t recall hearing any of them referring to Ho’s or Bitches.
I say bring back Up With People!
Janet Jackson could show her OTHER tit...I could care less...I won’t be watching.
Yea, he is a POS.
It’s going to be a Trump-bashing showcase.
NFL are scum. Rap is scum.
NFL is a mess, don’t watch it anymore.
These ladies,are, ore correct.
So…don’t watch it.
