Was that a strip club sort of routine?
I had no idea what was up with all those guys wearing those puffy hazmat suit type outfits.
I had no idea what was up with everyone reaching for some of the danger zones on the body.
And I had no idea what was up with those platforms rising up from the ground and dancers in the air and dancers down below.
That was the half time show. Not the pregame “pageantry.”
Both are/were ridiculous.
That's why it was half-assed. Rihanna is no longer a slim 22 year-old who would pole-dance dressed in Latex. She's a slow-moving, pregnant dominican madre who is definitely heading into her middle-aged years.
Which if absolutely OK for any famous singer who is singing her previous hits.
So why the various crotch-grabs and other genital hand-gestures? Just to signal to her crowd: "I'm still as sexualized and low-class as you remember me!?"
When I first saw the white outfits, I thought it looked like the KKK.
Then I noticed they were hoodies and not pointed hoods.
The sexual posturing by the guys in front of the red clad singer was gross.
Man-Twerking???
