Isn't that like a yearly tradition for them at this point. I honestly can't remember the last half time show they didn't bitch about

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Most people liked Katy Perry and the shark costume. That's the only one that comes to mind. No clue how long ago that was, and maybe a bunch of people were mad about that one too.
They cried about how sexualized it was
LOL guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Remember when they complained about gratuitous violence too?
Yeah me neither. They just bitch about the fun stuff.
Annoying generalization and useless Internet noise what even is journalism
They saw like five tweets and they wrote a story about it. And here we are on the front page
I like Kendrick Lamar and still found it kind of boring.
You didn't like the image of the American flag walking down stairs while he sang sit down, be humble? Most of the rest of the world found it pretty apt.
I think many didn't understand the meanings he was looking to convey.
Even one as simple as Samuel L Jackson representing the white gaze and reprising his role as house n***** from Django Unchained.
The guy is a Pulitzer prize winner. This wasn't going to be all glam.
Huh. I like Kendrick Lamar and found it awesome.
I just like big visual stuff at halftime. Katy Perry’s huge tiger was a memorable one, as was U2 after 9/11.
You're not alone, many feedback I heard is that it wasn't "big" enough - but also, that's sort of Lamar's style. This is the guy that preformed at SNL on an empty stage with only a microphone and white lights.
Fair enough.
I do think the visuals here were great. We had crips and bloods colours both sharing the stage. That’s a bold statement.
I’ll go watch the two you mentioned as I’ve not seen them. Although I’m not a fan of either of those people, musically.
Why? It was straight up nationalist propaganda
Which part?
Maybe you don't know 1. Gang colors or 2. TV networks are bound contractually to always support the military or they can get their broadcasting licenses revoked.
Nothing spells freedom better than gov mandated propaganda
