this is how pathetic and racist these devils are…you have a washed up, white trash, addict calling Jay-Z DEI During an appearance on Fox News on Monday, February 9, Kid Rock criticized Jay-Z, who is responsible for choosing the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer, by suggesting that he was appointed to the role in an effort to advance diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) because he is Black. Taking aim at the 56-year-old rapper, whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter, Kid Rock told Fox News host Laura Ingraham, "Nothing against Jay-Z, I respect him for his hustle, you know, his music, but it seems like there's a little bit of a DEI hire there going on to, you know, to kind of like, you know, oh ... Black guys love Jay-Z - and of course, I'm not that ignorant, I know a lot of us love Jay-Z, not just Black guys. "But in the league we have this problem, it seems like, oh, we'll bring him in and so - you know, Jay-Z is not gonna take that position of power and that money, so then they convene, that was a not for profit league until they quietly got rid of that tax exempt status at some point, so [NFL commissioner] Roger [Goddell] didn't have to disclose his salary." Kid Rock, whose alternative event struggled to match Bad Bunny's viewership numbers, also criticized his rival's Super Bowl halftime show, calling it a "middle finger to the MAGA crowd." Speaking about the NFL commissioner, he remarked: "So he brings in Jay Z and what's Jay Z going to do, he's going to do right by his base, that's why he had Kendrick Lamar last year, which a lot of people didn't get, I respect Kendrick, but it wasn't my cup of tea." He continued: "And then this year it's like wow, they're going to double down, and to me, it was another middle finger to conservatives, to the MAGA crowd, to my base."
There's a Helen Lovejoy Congressman every year who complains about "smut". It's red meat for their reelection campaign.
Honest question.... why should the NFL not give the middle finger to the MAGA crowd?? I thought those guys already cancelled themselves from watching the NFL because of Colin Kaepernick (who was blackballed from the NFL nonetheless but still). So why would the NFL as a business appease the crowd who already claims they don't watch, and hate the NFL while there are literally 626 million people south of Florida that have a global musical superstar they love that could become NFL fans overnight, compete with soccer more competitively, and fast track grow the game globally to make a boatload of money. Like... make me a business case... politics aside.
At the end of the day, conservatives will watch the game. Football is king in these states. It makes sense to try to broaden his audience with these performers. Controversy sells. No one should be outraged or surprised but those emotions also drive clicks. The NFL is a business.
I didnt have a problem with a Bad Bunny halftime show, I also prefer Bad Bunny to Kid Rock... I'm not going to radicalize myself to a tp halftime show just because Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican.... This is a country of immigrants after all, there can be latin pride without hatred of America. Problem is when woke people want to make loving white culture racist and vice versa when conservatives want to make latin culture anti American which also inst true. I'll take Bad Bunny all day at halftime as long as he represents culture, heritage and good music while not making it political. It's something that I believe is good for this country.
This is such a dumb comment. Cowboy Carter was like the biggest record for months, and it was a black superstar basically giving love to her roots in Texas, and showing some love to country music. Post Malone also recently with his ability to show some love to country as well. Then there is Hollywood which loves to appeal to good ole boy culture. Clint Eastwood is like 150 and still makes huge movies.
Woke whitey has never heard of Bad Bunny , Karol G, young Miko, Prince Royce, Groupo Extra Woke whitey is the real racist cause they think legal Latinos like illegal Latinos you think legal Latinos like cartel thugs moving in next to them?
Calling someone an “anchor baby” and then implying that 70% of the people in this country are devoid of a culture might be the most racist thing I’ve heard in a while. Way to dehumanize!! What’s next? So, a poor white guy who grows up in say rural Indiana, with his 5 white siblings and parents, who has very little experience with other races, is culture-less? He goes to school, church, plays football, fishes with his friends, learns discipline and respect and a moral code from his parents, passes it on to his kids and they all help to strengthen their community. He listens to white country artists and rock n roll and likes movies with Tom Cruise and grew up loving karate kid and Rocky. Basically the Jack and Diane song in a nutshell. He hasn’t lived white culture? Don’t black people, from black towns have black culture that is uniquely their own? Or is white culture, to you, just bad racist stuff from 100 years ago. American culture is the genus white, asian, Black, hispanic American cultures would be the species, among others. That’s what makes this country awesome. No need to reach back to the culture from a country you’ve never been to. You and your parents and their parents and their parents grew up in America. That’s your culture. America sorely needs to come together.
@Salvy @Scarface281 lol they didn’t even give any of the Bay Area artist a chance They let LA have Snoop and Dre should have been @pgabriel

And? He can become a citizen of Germany tomorrow. Does it make him ethnically and culturally German? No, nationality wise because of the passport yes, in other aspects no. That was the point.
