          Thats a weird way to say “trebuchet into the lava pit”, but I’m OK with options.

    70% of NFL fans are white and 53% of players are black.

    So the white fans want to watch black athletes but not have anything to do with black artists. They can probably block out that the players are mostly Black, Hispanic and mixed race because they have helmets on and are just jerseys to them.

    I don’t think it’s racist to not enjoy something you’re unfamiliar with. And I worry that labeling stuff that isn’t racism as racism waters down what racism actually is.

    I didn’t really like the halftime show, but that’s because it’s not the kind of thing I usually listen to. I didn’t dislike it, it was just kind of…neutral to me. I’m guessing if I knew the tracks I would’ve enjoyed it more.

    I did like the set design. It was pretty cool.

    Had it been country music I would’ve actively disliked it.

      The difference is that you’re not calling it “DEI”, highlighting the fact that you just use that as a substitute for the n word, considering that all the performers were black and there was no diversity there.

      I’m just going by what I’m reading online but to me it seems like a fair assumption that the people crying “DEI”, and who didn’t mind being in the same company as neo-nazis when it came to who they were supporting politically, are probably racist.

      I didn’t like it because i couldn’t understand what the man was saying. HipHop isn’t my jam so i wanted to hear this ultra-popular artist put on a show.
      I didn’t understand 90% of his lyrics.

      Was the mix awful for anyone else?

      That term was watered down several years ago. Which is sad, because it’s supposed to be impactful and mean something when heard. Now it’s a reactionary term for “thing/person I don’t like”. I know we’ll return to normalcy eventually, but damn, it’s taking a long time.

    What are they trying to show off with that weird head tilt thing? That their sunglasses aren’t broken? Or are they just trying to hide their fat face?

      Isn’t it just that the phone is either one the top or bottom side of the windshield and they are recording the video while driving, so they don’t do a full tilt? It seems like it for several of the images.

    My takeaway from this is that Trump supporters are hiding their eyes so we don’t realize that they’ve all been crying constantly.

    As someone who didn’t watch the Super Bowl, can anyone translate to regular people speak?

    Anyone else in the “I didn’t like the halftime show because it was completely unintelligible” camp? Seriously, I couldn’t understand one single word he was saying. Was everyone else just using captions?
