The international games are just dumb. American football will always be second to futbol over there. Taking away home games from teams here to play over there is slapping American fans in the face. Look at what the Bills Mafia does for Buffalo. They sit in frigid weather and show up to shovel the stadium out after snow storms. Then the NFL yanks home games away from them to play in Europe or wherever.

Then not only did you have Kap but shite blew up again after George Floyd. Then they go out and find these acts for the SB halftime show that wants to shove more politics in the mix. The politics would be a lot more tolerable if they would be balanced about it. If Bad Bunny wants to shove love wing politics this year then next year let’s see Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, or maybe Big and Rich next year. Funny how we never can find a right winger to play the SB. I would prefer politics out of it all together but if we have to be preached at then let’s balance it out. Sooner or later there will be another police shooting and the players will get preachy again and that’s eventually just gonna turn people off for good. Then the NFL better hope those international fans stick around because that’s the fans they will be depending on to keep them in business.

Do you not remember how pissed people got at the NFL after Kap started kneeling? Then you had people doing that shite after George Floyd. A lot of people left for a long time. Most came back but for a good while the Shield was hemorrhaging viewers. Some people still will not watch the NFL to this day though. If the NFL wants to keep letting junk like that happen and basically just say to hell with half its viewers then people will eventually walk off again and never come back.

You are missing the point. The product isn’t popular because they are making it popular with good sound business decisions and new fresh ideas. It’s popular because people love football. If the decision makers though keep throwing politics into the mix and letting some players like Kap shite on half the consumers then sooner or later people will leave and never come back. A lot have done left because of that type junk.

I watched Jim open up for Metallica a few years ago. His Ozzy impression is absolutely hilarious.

The fact they are from the Bay Area would have been icing on the cake but not a requirement. It would have been cool for them though I’m sure.

I never could roll my tongue to make all that sound right.

Most people will either tune out all together or go watch theTPUSA halftime show with Kid Rock and others. If he keeps his mouth shut and just sings then he will do ok I’m sure. The second he opens his mouth about ICE or Trump though and those that didn’t do theTPUSA to start will soon join it in quick fashion.

So if Metallica is still pulling in massive crowds today and has a music catalog that draws the older and the younger alike plus are from the Bay Area then how are they not right pick to play the SB? You gotta help me out with that one.

As I mentioned above the younger folks like the newer stuff better. Older folks will go with the classic era. All bases are covered. They would have grabbed people from every age group where Bad Bunny will not. So in other words the catalog Metallica has is relevant.

Has nothing to do with virtue signaling. I’m just tired of celebrities pushing politics on me when it’s not a political forum and then making people out to be the devil if they disagree with them.

I do listen to music in other languages occasionally and can’t understand them either. The difference is at least they are cool.

Metallica has some great instrumental songs. Orion is the best instrumental song from the late 80’s till now imo.

We have been beat to death with politics from celebrities for years now. If you don’t agree with them then you are evil. I’m tired of it. I just want to watch a movie or see a game or a concert. When I want to know these people’s opinions on politics I will look them up and ask them. If they want to give out their political opinions then they should run for office and stop preforming.

I didn’t dance the Macarena when the damn thing was popular. Damn sure don’t do it now. I have not even heard that mentioned since what 92,93 something like that.

You are making my point for me. Why can’t I just turn on the tv and watch a football game? They always have to pick these dumbass halftime acts that want to preach out you and tell you how evil you are because you do not think like they do politically. We have days of buildup Will he or won’t he get political. It just gets old.

My original point was that Metallica was a safe pick. They will not have gotten on stage and said Ice Out. It would have just been a killer show and then back to the game with no drama and no speeches.

I have no idea where you are getting virtue signaling at. You would think after the Kap fiasco and all the antics after George Floyd that the NFL would learn. Instead they keep trying to do in the Shield.

Well they have those already. The Super Bowl halftime show is either a rap, pop, or country artist every year. They would need to try a rock band to try to reach a different audience.
