The Decline of the NFL

American Thinker

"And yet to watch the halftime show, one would think the NFL's only viewers are liberal twenty-somethings from California, with no family responsibilities and an interest in making an epic sweep in the here and now."

. . . "The following year, 2016, Beyoncé and Bruno Mars headlined with Coldplay.  While Coldplay's performance was lukewarm, Beyoncé's was disturbingly memorable:
. . . 
"The full lyrics of that song are much more graphic and raunchy than the sections performed at the Super Bowl, but the damage to the NFL's image was already done.
"Beyoncé's cast of dancers, dressed as Black Panthers, lionized a radical insurrectionist group responsible for the deaths of many police officers in the '60s.  Some members of the group were even found guilty of murder within the Black Panther Party.  The lyrics of "Formation" together with the dancers' almost military formation were chilling, even evil, with this evil presented as virtue.  And the Marxist-Leninist creed espoused in the song and the dancers' presentation, coming from a star worth almost a billion dollars, was just too much for some viewers to stomach.  Americans love football, but they are not willing to be bludgeoned over the head by virtue-signaling leftists like these." . . .
