Yet another super reason not to view the 'Super' Bowl
2016-02-07
[Daily Caller] Will Beyonce Perform This Song About 'Black Lives Matter' At The Super Bowl?

Beyonce released an unexpected new music video on her website Saturday.

"Formation" is her first song since she released her album at the end of 2014, and in the beginning of the video, Beyonce stands on top of a submerged cop car in a post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.

Later on, a small child in a black hoodie stands in front of a line of officers before the words "Stop shooting us" flash across the screen.

Beyonce is performing with Coldplay during the halftime show Sunday, and Rolling Stone reports that she was practicing the number during her Super Bowl rehearsal.

Congrats Peyton Manning!

#14  I usually watch baseball with the sound off and pick up the color (is that raaaaacist?) on the radio. Seems to make for a better experience.

#13  I'm with magpie; the pomp completely overshadows the game.

I watched nearly the entire World Series with the sound off. Game 1 I was openly mocking the announcers. Game 2 I knew all I needed to know about The Metros and was barfing at the obstructive commentating. Game 3, The Mute come out.

#9  I don't watch halftime. And usually watch with sound muted. Though openly mocking the commentators is fun.

#8  I always watch the Olympics with the sound muted. Might be time to start doing that with the Superbowl too.

#7  Too many commercials. Too much time spent on "expert commentary." Both destroy any continuity in watching the GAME.

#6  The Super-what?

Is it something about football? Geez, isn't that ever going to be over?

Anyway, I'll be washing my cat today, so who cares what a Bouncer sings about?

#5  NFL should sponsor a competition to find the best high school marching band in the country and then have that band perform at the Super Bowl. No more geriatric rock bands, no more costume malfunctions, no more speculation on how some of these skanks and slezoids are going to embarrass themselves and the whole country too. Just an all American group of kids playing music and marching up and down the field. If you want fireworks at the end of their performance that'd be OK too.

#3  That's why I only watch the Super Bowl starting with the third quarter.

#2  ...If this is true, BrerRabbit speaks wisdom - the NFL was already looking at considerably reduced money this time around because neither team is in a really big TV market. Starting a sh!tstorm to satisfy a few SJWs will make them regret it.
