Super Bowl Halftime (Public Board)

I don't watch much football, but I always watch the Super Bowl with my husband at home. I used to love the halftime entertainment many years ago but the past few years its gone downhill, big time. I'm sick of the rap crap and the weirdness of it all. There are plenty of talented people out there, yet Jay Z calls the shots apparently so its always rap. He has to go.

This synopsis is from Brave AI:

Jay Z Super Bowl Role

Jay-Z, through his company Roc Nation, has been in charge of selecting Super Bowl halftime performers since 2019 when Roc Nation entered into a partnership with the NFL. This agreement designated Jay-Z as the 'live music entertainment strategist' for the Super Bowl, and he has been responsible for choosing the artists who perform during the halftime show each year since then.

Despite this, Jay-Z did not perform at the Super Bowl himself, as he has rejected the idea of performing at the halftime show due to the selection process he found flawed.

The partnership between Jay-Z and the NFL has been controversial, with some fans blaming him for the perceived underwhelming performances and others criticizing the focus on hip-hop artists.

I didn't see that halftime performance by Kendrick Lamar as the type of entertainment the Super Bowl should have. Its out of step with just about everyone normal. I turned it off.
