    As a white person I couldn’t give one fuck whether performers at an overblown sporting event are white or not.

    People really have this kind of time? Also as someone who’s home constantly: get a life.

      Agreed, Kendrick Lamar is of course going to have black stage dancers, his music is directly about and influenced by black culture after all.

        As someone who lived in the U.S. for 47 years, I can’t even sum up enough effort to give a shit about the Super Bowl at all.

        Trump caring about it is an even bigger disincentive than watching people give themselves CTE for money.

          I don’t know why they interview the players post-game. They’re all punch-drunk and can barely string a sentence together. I’m sure there are some intelligent and eloquent speakers among them but no one is sounding bright after smacking skulls with another 300+ lbs dude for a few hours.
