Local women's groups assail NFL's planned Super Bowl entertainment
The Southeast Missourian ^ | 2/8/2022 | Jeff Long

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.

News flash: Those are the artists that appeal to the current 35-55 NFL demographic.

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.

AND... you never saw Diana Ross twerking like a topless dancer lowering herself on a Miller Lite bottle to snatch up a dollar bill.

It’s going to be a Trump-bashing showcase.
