The right-wing organization also seems to object to Bad Bunny performing in Spanish.

      If I told someone I had a video of muscular dudes in spandex pants wrestling around with each other in the mud, they’d think I never miss pride events, but tell them its the most recent superbowl and suddenly…

      Football can be described in so many fun ways.

      Years ago when my rep was cosponsoring some bill about how video games were killing children my buddy sent him a letter. I don’t remember the exact contents but it pointed out the rich history in Texas of folks wearing different colors violently defending their turf from rivals. Schools are training high schoolers to how to be in a gang as a sponsored activity every Friday evening.

        the Super Bowl is just a bunch of burly guys pressing tightly against another group of burly guys trying to prove who is best at handling balls all to win jewelry and a purse.

    How gay is that?! They need to have their own party, because they aren’t welcome at the regular one. Such cry babies with their safe spaces and delicate feelings.

    So what’s it going to be? Kid Rock singing about how Trump is God’s chosen president while a group of “liberals” (ie: non conservatives) they captured off the streets get forced to pray to Jesus in the direction of Mar-a-Lago?

    These fuckers remind me of the type of people who only let their kids watch “Christian” television.

    It’s not gay, it’s brown. Or is Bad Bunny also gay? I have no idea, and I don’t care who he loves. I’m tuning in for the music and the dancing. I’m not a fan, but I’m sure it’ll be a good show.

      Although the jury is still out as to whether Bad Bunny is gay or not, he has announced that he is going to perform the halftime show wearing a dress, in solidarity with Puerto Rico‘s rich history of drag queens.

      So, yeah. That.

        Huh. I had no idea. Bet he kills it.

        Nothing gay about wearing a dress. My brother wore a dress once. (Our sister dared him.) It’s just a garment. If you’re Scottish, you might wear a kilt, as a male, in 2026, and that’s functionally the same kind of thing. And honestly the dress/skirt (or kilt) style garment makes more sense for a guy. Pants make more sense for a gal. But fashion is weird.

        Not trying to disagree or anything, just… eh, I’m gonna enjoy it regardless.

      There’s a very high probability that TP’s half time show is going to be way gayer than the real one, just unintentionally.

    Watching 300 lb men huddle in spandex for 4 hours not gay, but 2 halftime music acts are way too far beyond the rainbow…

    So wait, you’re going to try and run a second concert in competition with the super bowl halftime show, and still associate it with the super bowl/NFL?

    The lawyers are going to eat them alive for the fees.

    Well, this shows once again that the right-wing extremists need their own artificially staged reality in order to somehow justify all the outrageous lies of the MAGA leadership: they simply cannot allow people to peacefully celebrate sporting events.

    It’s really absurd how blind these idiots are. They just can’t see that the imaginary enemy images that are being mindlessly propagated here simply serve to distract from how thoroughly degenerate the leaders of this “movement” are, from the fact that they are actually the enemies of all halfway decent people.

    The stupidity is really only surpassed by the ruthlessness of the criminals responsible for this moronic deception.

      They’re doing the “brainwashing” they accuse others of. Benny Shap’s network makes right-wing movies for crying out loud.

      They defend this by saying that hollywood is “left” wing … so they must “counteract” and “balance” things.

      I’m reminded of the Chris Wallace and Jon Stewart interview: https://youtu.be/UYbtUztVctI?t=417

      Jon Stewart:

      Here’s the difference between you and I, I’m a comedian first … my comedy is informed by an ideological background. There’s no question about that, but the thing you will never understand and the thing that conservative activists will never understand is that Hollywood, yeah they’re liberal, but that’s not their primary motivating force. I’m not an activist. I’m a comedian and my comedy is informed by ideology, there’s no question about that, but I’m not an ideologue.

        Of course they do, this is their mindless tactic and it’s obvious to everyone with half a brain because it’s so mindless (it used to be much more skillful).

        This can only work because there’s so much money behind it. Otherwise, it would never be possible to maintain such obvious bullshit. It can only work because there are billionaires and because these billionaires are all inhumane monsters - psychopaths by definition. It is the logical consequence of unbridled capitalism, which, contrary to all the narratives that people like Milton Friedman have made famous, is not a free market, but always produces the monopolies we see today.

        The civilizational regression we are experiencing today is the direct result of this: of too much money in too few horribly unscrupulous hands.

        In itself, it’s simple, but billionaires are doing everything they can to prevent people from realizing that - as in this case: hey, let’s just have our own fascist Super Bowl show. It’s just sooo fucking stupid, but so are people.

        I guess this is how it is: Despite its blatant absurdity, all of this is only possible because people allow it - that is just a fact. With all that monstrous shit going on in the word besides better judgement I find it increasingly difficult to attribute this to any other reason than that there is a significant proportion of people who are incorrigible, arrogant and ignorant beyond saving - and then some who are just plain evil. Perhaps that is human nature, which Kant and all other Enlightenment thinkers always denied because they wanted people to believe in the good of the people so they can do good instead of evil.
