General Discussion

Green Day is a pre-show, I believe. I don't know how this will be covered.

With most of the hype focusing on the halftime show, I wonder if Green Day will surprise some people.

I also wonder about the NFL. Forever, they have been the embodiment of the plantation mentality. Put those black bodies to work. And even be nice to them is they don't get too uppity, like Colin Karppernick. And start every show with an over-the-top display of the armed forces, a not-so-subtle reminder that the NFL is aligned with the power of the state.

Maybe something is changing here. In the same way we are witness to MASSIVE over-performance in practically every special election, is the NFL sensing that their customers are getting really angry with the direction of the government? Is the NFL trying to distance itself from the power of the state?
