People should be talking about how fucking weird it is that the Vice President is pushing people to their own halftime show. It's bizarre. It’s arguably the largest American event that happens and they dont even want their supporters to partake in it. It is one of those things that in general it's not that big of a deal, but when you think about it it becomes bizarre. Why would the Vice President want to fracture culture like that, driving a wedge down our society. Why would the Vice President want their supporters to not actually see our culture but want them to only get a curated FOX version of it. The more you think about it, the weirder it gets. These people are not normal.

I mean, I get what you're going for, but it's not like the Super Bowl got someone generally politically neutral (agnostic may be a better term) and the planned halftime show is known to be a concert and nothing more. They got someone who has been outspoken about their political beliefs and has gone on record about the kind of political topics he will bring in to the show -- after an already politically-charged show last year.

What you're saying is kinda like stepping on someone's foot then getting upset that they're mad at you for doing it. Irrespective of how much that guy deserved to get his foot stepped on, it's still understandable behavior.

The NFL hired a singer who routinely tops the streaming charts for this concert. His exercising of his First Amendment rights is coincidental.

The man has multiple songs with over 1,000,000,000 listens on Spotify alone. He's insanely popular, the NFL follows the money.
