The most ridiculous FCC complaints about the Super Bowl haltime show – Celebrity News – Entertainment

Complaints about the Super Bowl halftime show are nothing new, but last year’s performance by Kendrick Lamar fueled intense criticism.

The FCC confirmed that it received 125 formal complaints regarding Lamar’s performance, with concerns coming from cities such as Columbia, North Carolina, and Fort Wayne, Indiana, and more.

One viewer from Colombia expressed outrage over the lineup, writing, “This has time show is racist, there are only African American people in it, no Caucasian people in the performance, which is racist, promoting that one race is superior to another, which is not only unethical, it’s illegal.”

Others criticized the musical content directly. A professional musician from Fort Wayne weighed in, stating, “The half time show was AWFUL. Who listens and UNDERSTANDS what they are saying. I’m a professional musician and I find this very insulting.”

A person from Richmond, Virginia chimed in, “Really not suitable for family viewing, extremely disappointing. You should rate that as “R” because my children are asking if those words are ok to say at school.”

“Stop putting rap in the halftime shows. We hate it!!!! Why not put accomplished musicians in the show who can actually sing. Matchbox 20, Rolling Stones, Adele, Sammy Hagar, Marc Anthony, Dua Lipa, Elton John, Harry Styles. Please give us a better show instead of letting rappers choose rappers every year. Enough already!!!,” a viewer from Tucson, Arizona wrote.

Another complaint came from Cincinnati, Ohio, where a viewer launched into a furious critique of the show. The complaint read: “The half-time show was the worst show in the history of the Super Bowl! You couldn’t understand them rapping, which isn’t singing! There were no white people on the stage, and at last count, black people only make up 18% of the US population.”

Another viewer, writing from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, complained that they struggled to follow the lyrics; the complainant alleged that the set took aim at former President Donald Trump’s administration.

They wrote, “Although I could not understand a word of the performance, I do know they were trying to badmouth the Trump Administration. I highly suggest that someone review what is being sung or said during halftime. People want to be entertained. There is no reason to have someone give their opinions. Over half the country voted for President Trump. You should respect that.”A viewer from West Virginia said, “

The performance by Kendrick Lamar was pure and utter filth. He should be fined to the highest extent of the law of violating the FCC standards and be banned from any future televised performance.”
