Will Republicans be upset about Rhianna half time show?

[LiberalFighter]

[Tree Lady]

1. I'm sure they will with her grabbing

her private parts.

[redwitch]

2. Probably.

I just find this incredibly stupid so far.

[dem4decades]

3. She's black, enough said.

[vercetti2021]

4. Of course

They need something to rage at 24/7

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. They will hold Congressional Hearings

[hatrack]

59. The House Select Committee On Insufficient Whiteness

Bang-bang Boebert will chair.

[leftyladyfrommo]

69. It's getting that bad. It's become a not very funny cartoon. nt

[Emile]

7. When was the last time they had a good half time show?

[hlthe2b]

9. Good question. Once upon a time I would not have wanted to miss. But now? meh...

[maryellen99]

11. Last year nt

[rsdsharp]

14. In the "AFL-NFL World Championship Game" (Super Bowl I)

they had a couple of guys fly around with jet packs. In Super Bowl II there were giant homecoming floats of steam breathing football players.

I think halftime was why God invented video tape replays.

[hibbing]

26. U2 after attacks by planes

Thought that one was pretty cool.

[Hstch05]

32. Prince.

By far the best halftimes however. No gimmicks, no filler, just him for 15 minutes doing his hits, covering a bunch of amazing songs, and then ending in a downpour with Purple Rain. Nothing else comes close.

[crickets]

39. 👆👆 Absolutely the best. nt

[MissMillie]

62. agreed

in the rain, wearing insane shoes, and actually PERFORMING, not just singing.

[Owl]

54. Agree. That was incredible!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

43. About 45 minutes ago

[Polybius]

56. Last year

Everyone 35-50 loved it.

[Ferrets are Cool]

60. 2015 Katy Perry

[MissMillie]

61. I liked Lady Gaga

I have to be totally honest.

I'm old, and unfamiliar with a lot of current pop music. Until last night I could neither name a Rhianna song, nor pick her out of a lineup.

I was familiar with last year's rappers. Did I think it was a great show, not really. And although I am familiar with The Weeknd, I didn't find that performance all that noteworthy.

[beaglelover]

67. Prince is still the best half time show of all time.

[TexasBushwhacker]

78. I really enjoyed Bruno Mars - 2014

[doc03]

8. The only part I can understand is the fireworks. But I haven't seen a

good half time show for decades, I guess I am too old 74.

[Murphyb849]

10. Of course

Their hero DJT already dissed it on "Truth" Social so yes, the cult will echo his sentiments.

[ratchiweenie]

55. I'm sure TFG thinks he should be the one grabbing a woman's private parts, not

her for Christ's sake. That's just obscene.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

12. Republicans get upset about the way their sexual partners orgasm.

[rsdsharp]

15. Their sexual partners orgasm?

[Chellee]

23. Yes, but much later, and with other people.

[emulatorloo]

27. ...

[House of Roberts]

13. i have the sound off.

What I saw was a woman in red being chased by a bunch of puffy white things, and I thought they were meant to symbolize an ovum pursued by sperm????

[LiberalFighter]

16. You need to put that out there.

[Emile]

74. Bingo! LOL

[OAITW r.2.0]

17. Not my cup of tea. but nothing for me to get outraged about. nt

[Freddie]

18. They can't complain she showed too much skin

[Tree Lady]

52. Goes to show you can be sexy with

lots of clothes on

[walkingman]

19. I expect we will see a lot of "He Gets Us" in the second half to make up for it. 😁

[machoneman]

20. Who cares what THEY think anyway? F them, I say!

[GoCubsGo]

21. They started raging the moment she was announced as the halftime act.

I'm sure they're apoplectic at this point.

[DET]

22. Yes and No

The performers are actually dressed and fairly modest for a Super Bowl performance, so they can’t really complain about exhibitionism. But the whole thing struck me as really lame and stupid, especially those ridiculous white outfits and the weird choreography. But I’m an old fart, so…

[Paladin]

24. I anticipated yet another "F" grade half time show from Rhianna.

Oddly enough, I think she delivered a solid "C" grade presentation. Nobody's more surprised by that than I am.

[FalloutShelter]

25. Really just meh for me.

Looked like the dancers did all the heavy lifting. Felt like she phoned it in.

Just MHO.

[maryellen99]

29. She's pregnant nt

[claudette]

33. I read that she just had a baby

9 months ago.

[Hstch05]

34. That's an uncomfirmed rumor

She just gave birth back in May, so if she is AND she's showing, that's a really quick turn around time.

[CatWoman]

40. ....

[Hstch05]

46. Thanks for the update!

When I posted at 9:09pm, it was still a rumor, though...

[Deuxcents]

28. The r's are gonna 🤯

The half time show was not my cup of tea, as the saying goes but I don’t care.. I’m older n every generation has their dance so I don’t have to “get it”.

[RockRaven]

30. A black woman was the center of attention. OF COURSE they will be upset. They will make up a

reason, and literally any reason will do.

[Hstch05]

36. Not only is she black

there was.... pelvic thrusting. Won't somebody think of the children?

[Sympthsical]

31. Let me rephrase this one

Will online "journalists" scour social media for tweets that disliked the halftime show and then churn out articles that "X Group Is Offended By . . . " and will we then see those articles spread around all over the place by 9AM tomorrow?

Yes and yes.

Because that is how clicks and eyeballs work.

If we're not hating each other and separating into pro and con groups over every tiny thing, they're not doing their jobs.

It should be harder to make people dance.

[Diamond_Dog]

35. Who would they approve of anyway?

They hate all modern music and entertainment. F them I say.

[Justice matters.]

37. Ted Nugent?

With his AR-15?

[CatWoman]

38. i suppose he could do better

Link to tweet

[Mr.Bill]

45. Way to lead that "woke NFL" boycott, Donny!

[Diamond_Dog]

47. Look in the mirror Dump face Donny

[WhiskeyGrinder]

41. Who gives a shit?

[jmowreader]

42. Of course they will

It’s what they do.

I wonder if they sent her out there in coveralls to try to assuage the outrage.

[Mr.Bill]

44. The hard-core MAGAs on some of the car forums I use

will not admit to watching any production by the "woke NFL".

[LetMyPeopleVote]

48. I like this half time show

Link to tweet

[In It to Win It]

49. Yup

because they have nothing better to do

[Takket]

50. Yes. She is black.

[Dorian Gray]

51. Is water wet?

[tinymontgomery]

53. Simple answer yes.

My neighbors are already saying it sucked. I think it is because we all grew up with 60's and 70's groups
and just don't relate to modern music. I'm not saying it's bad just we, including me, just haven't moved past
groups like Poco, Beatles, Stones, Airplane etc. I did like the way they made the stage move up and down. My wife
liked it but she knew a few of her songs.

[easttexaslefty]

57. Yes

Of course.

[Buns_of_Fire]

58. Probably, but as I believe Hawkeye Pierce once said,

the instrument has yet to be developed that can measure how little I care.

[Emile]

63. The best part of the pre game show was the Eagles coach daughter

Can someone smarter than I find and post that video clip?

[Emile]

64. I got it, funny little girl!

[Emile]

65. This one is it.

[hamsterjill]

66. Oh hell yes. They are claiming satanic influence.

Like the Grammy’s. Because of the “red”.

Aren’t the colors RED, white and blue????

The performance was not my cup of tea, not my kind of music, not my thing. But she obviously has a large fan base and those people who like her talents were entertained, I’m sure.

[treestar]

68. Yes, she had a line in the song

you want to see me naked, naked, naked and I figured that would do it.

There has to be controversy over at least one ad or the half time show or it's not the USA.

[Norbert]

70. Runny Jackson wanted Ted Nugent to do the halftime show

That would be great. At east half in attendance don't know who Ted Nugent is and 2/3s doesn't know he is a musician.

[Maru Kitteh]

71. I dunno. Is Rihanna still black?

Then yes.


10 points to the first puke who attacks it as the "CRT" half-time show.

[Paladin]

72. But not a peep from them about that dog-fucked version of the National Anthem.

Because it was "sung" by a white guy.

[Iggo]

73. She's black. She's a woman. She's pregnant. What do you think?

[Johonny]

75. The answer turned out to be yes

[area51]

76. Perhaps they would have preferred rtwinger Roseanne Barr

singing the national anthem.

[Paladin]

77. "A masters class in doing exactly enough." NYTimes comment on halftime show. (nt)
