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

        I really don’t care for people dunking on Guy Fieri. He’s a genuinely good guy and putting him in the same context as Kid Rock is a little disgusting.

    I mean superpower has sucked (to me) forever, so imm skip the game, the halftime show and the alternate halftime show.

    While im dissenting, I also think every publicly financed football stadium should share 5% of profits with its host city. And some of that should be set aside to bulldoze the stadium when it reaches its end of life.

            Look, all they want is a muscular man in shorts telling them how he’s going to dominate them, pin them to the floor and just start pounding them. Otherwise, it’s too gay.

      Kid Rock and Ted Nugent would be my guess. But I mean, you could swing a dead cat and hit like six or seven country/western singers who hate dark-skinned and/or LGBTQ+ Americans in a given honky-tonk, so they’ll have no shortage of talent. And, make no mistake, some of these people are talented… but if they just use that talent to try to further divide the poor people for the benefit of the wealthy, I don’t think they are worthy of my attention.

    I would say the superbowl isn’t gay enough. The half-time show should be all 24 players having an orgy on the field. That’d certainly get me to watch the dumb foosball game.

        Sports are called “foot” ball because they involve running and aren’t played on horses. And “ball” doesn’t mean “sphere”

        I don’t watch association, Australian, rugby or American football, but you’ve bothered the etymologist in me with your nonsense suggestion.

            Lol.

            “Foot means played on foot” is not the same as “every other sport must be played on horse”. Football naming etymology has no impact on the naming of other sports. Chess is often played in a chair, not on foot, so it already is a non foot game. The lack of distinguishing may be to allow some chess players to optionally stand, or play from horseback if desired.

            It DOES mean though that you are not allowed to play American football on horseback.

      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.

    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.

      Actually a few of the acts are openly queer, or explicitly queer-friendly? Or, like Bad Bunny, planning to perform in a dress to pay homage to drag. So yeah, it’s pretty gay (affectionate)

    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.

  1. Links to news stories from…
  2. …credible sources, with…
  3. …their original headlines, that…
  4. …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.
