The halftime show was nothing more than a propaganda piece staged in front of millions of viewers. There was so much use of symbolism, I cringed several times. Rainbow flags, rainbow everything really, Beyonce and her "Black Panther" dancers, the big X they made on the field, the token white guy getting shadowed by the black and Hispanic performers.
If you haven't already noticed, the NFL is a whore. They'll sell the rights to their own children if it was legal. Even their fucking awards are sponsored. FedEx Player of the Year, Bridgestone Performance of the year...blah blah blah. It's not longer a sport, it's a performance being pieced out and sold to the highest advertising bidder. It's no longer for blue collared people.
