"Cancel Culture" Hasn't Made It To The NFL

With the current cancel culture attitude sweeping the nation these days, one must wonder why certain people seem to be immune.
It is a bit surprising to me that the NFL, notorious for protecting their brand, is featuring performers in their Half Time Show that, given today's environment, certainly could be a target of "canceling."
Snoop Dogg:
“Bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks / Lick on these nuts and suck the dick.”
Eminem:
"But I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice / Play nice? / Bitch I'll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance / Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens."
Dr. Dre:
"Checking my rearview/'Cause niggas, they will do jack moves, black fools cause I smack fools/Try to set me up for a 2-11/Fuck around and get caught up in a (1-8-7)/But I don't represent no gangbang/Some niggas like lynching, but I just watch 'em hang"
Now that is some family entertainment right there. Although the NFL probably wouldn't have anything to do with Dr. Seuss, these fine upstanding lyricists are being featured on their highest profile stage of the year.
Lucy has some splainen to do.

Are you certain THIS is the hill you wanna die on, Bryce? I mean, I KNOW you love to pick these little fights but I really hope language isn't the battle you're gearing up for.

Hill to die on? Is that a threat?
To be fair he has a point that could be discussed.

I really hope language isn't an argument the fan of president "grab 'em by the pussy" wants to have.

Cancel culture, regardless of the flavor it comes in, is gross and people should be happy when it isn't successful.
That said, the halftime show sucked.

The right perfected cancel culture in the 90s when they boycotted Disney, Proctor and Gamble, Burger King, and many more all due to the babies and evil gays.

Nope. Battle is a bit of a strong term, but I do think it's well worth fighting for an even playing ground. Take Snoop Dogg for instance. The lyrics I quoted from one of his "songs" are about as misogynistic as it gets. Others are called out, ruined and fired for much less, yet, he is featured on arguably the highest profile entertainment show of the year. Again, back to my original point. Although everyone should have a right to their opinion and be able to voice it and or write and preform any song they like. But some folks get canceled and some people seem to be immune.
Another example, Rosanne Barr was fired. Whoopie gets a two week suspension.
And it's not like the "show" was any good. I think it's the worst I've ever watched. Glad the game was spectacular.

This is life in 2022. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I get angry, sometimes I go at it.
But more importantly, Matt, have you noticed how polarizing everything has become? I was shocked...SHOCKED...to see someone with a Biden sign, a BLM sign AND a back the blue sign. It always has to be THIS or THAT. You get column A or column B. You have to be FOR this, this and this and only those things. It's the constant interjection. MCRF didn't need to post that response and Bryce didn't need to start this thread. But they did and the ball is rolling. Whatever happened to "a time and a place"?
Did I ever mention the time I went to watch the video for Jump by Van Halen? Politics has nothing to do with that song or that band. Nothing. But someone had to make a comment about Hillary or the Democrats or something and there was a (since deleted) 128 comment thread going back and forth. Are we incapable of even talking about the weather anymore without someone throwing that jab?

I'm currently in DC for a conference, and yet this board seems more inherently political than this city.

Even license plates are political now… I expect breathing will be the culmination. One side will do it and the other will stop to show em how wrong and backwards they are.
