NFL should have addressed what would and vwould not be allowed , as soon she went out the stage shouldve been shut down
I had heard about it before it happen and did not watch…sad that the NFL allowed such political, racist acts to happen in a time of great fun for a year well played by two great teams and to have this shoved in everyones face..NFL…you need to do some SORRIES!!!!
Boy cott,let’s the police take her to the super ball then talk trash,black fat goat//
Hope she don’t need a cop someday.

Ignorant… Far from it. I have a few degrees from different universities. So why have you not moved up? Why does it not bother you that you pay so much in taxes so others, most too lazy to work, gets a free ride?
