Super Bowl

[SaltyTiger 8,638]

Great game and always lots to discuss other than the game. Agree with Trump that the halftime show was awful. Saw the “He gets us” commercials, interesting and different. Missed the black national anthem and did not realize there was one.

Trump wasn’t a fan.

“EPIC FAIL: Rihanna gave, without question, the single worst Halftime Show in Super Bowl history — This after insulting far more than half of our Nation, which is already in serious DECLINE, with her foul and insulting language,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday night.

I didn't know we had a black national anthem either. That seems to violate so many things I can't even begin to list. Do we have a Native American national anthem or a Hispanic one? At a time we are so concerned with offending other people and races this is hypocritical to the extreme. The bright spot of the whole circus for me was seeing tears come down the face of Philadelphia's coach when THE National Anthem was being sung.

There are those who are snowflakes or consider themselves to be social justice warriors "American Patriots". They are always looking for some slight or perceived insult so they can run to their ally, the MSM Social Media, and make a mountain out of a molehill.

Everyone should watch “Blazing Saddle “ with a glass of wine and loosen up.

FIFY

Geez, I was going to comment on the game, but since it immediately devolved into a discussion about uppity black folks, I guess I'll pass.

The commercials for the most part were pretty underwhelming...

I time my turning on of the TV for the Super Bowl as close to actual kickoff as I can, but I'm one of those semi-old folks who would just as soon see kickoff go back to about 2-3 in the afternoon.

Halftime show, eh, I'm pretty much indifferent to Rihanna, but those floating things that looked like pieces of a Donkey Kong level were different...kept waiting for someone to jump levels.

Travis Kelce will make for a good WWE heel when he retires from football...Gronk was goofy, Kelce has half-a-screw loose.

Totally with you on the afternoon kickoff. Be nice for the school kids to stay up a watch. Really hate late night with baseball playoffs and World Series.

Welcome to talk football. Times I wish Tre had slid at one yard line vs FSU in 2013. Of course we were down by three rather than tied. 1985 vs Bammer another night we scored to quick.

Game was pretty good. Totally different 2nd half than I expected after the Eagles dominated the first. Can't really pull against either of those QB's. Both have had stellar years and are class acts off the field. 

Halftime show was meh. It's all about theatrics now. Lip syncing and visuals over individual performance. No doubt Rihanna is very talented, but some of the gestures were a bit over the top.  Pulling off the floating platforms was pretty cool. Glad to see she was tethered up there. I wonder how long it took for her to get over the initial fear. 

Prince may have inadvertently ruined all subsequent halftime shows after his performance in the driving rain.  Everyone else is vying for distant second.

Chris Stapleton was money with the anthem. He never disappoints.

I never was a big NFL fan but pretty well stopped watching any games when the SF QB started taking a knee. The NFL has embraced a social justice agenda .

I did watch a lot of this Super Bowl since we were at a birthday party and because of the Christian testimony of the two quarterbacks.

Uh, The first response was a disparaging comment on a "black national anthem" in the halftime show, after you brought it up in the OP.

The black national anthem was not “in”the halftime show Brother Homer.

I agree that there is only 1 National Anthem.  That is as far as I can go agreeing with Lauren Boebert.  She is a certified nut case.

I agree. If they are going to have a separate Black National Anthem, the NFL might as well play Dixie when games are below the Mason-Dixon Line.

How is a song that represents hope for a historically oppressed community divisive? How many were upset or even knew what the song was until your politicians told you to be upset? It's only divisive if you choose to make it divisive. How is this any different than singing Amazing Grace instead?

The song and words are not offensive, but putting it on an equal plane with the  only National Anthem is.

I can see that. Would you have been this upset if Amazing Grace had been performed instead? I'm curious because I didn't think of it, just like I wouldn't have thought anything of it had they played God Bless America or Amazing Grace instead.

No, that wouldn’t offend me at all. Both songs are for everyone.
