    He could literally just say whatever he wanted on a hot mic.

    Stop trying to pretend it was a protest. It wasn’t.

      I imagine there was a rehearsal and if he deviated from that they would’ve just muted him. I’m no tv producer but iirc they also have a few seconds delay of wiggle room. Don’t imagine they want another Janet Jackson.

        I hate that fucking “wardrobe malfunction” narrative they came up with. I watched that shit live. JT deliberately reached up and pulled her titty out, and she had on a fucking pasty. That was a deliberate move in a choreographed show, and they didn’t even have the balls to just say “opps, guess that didn’t go over well.”

          had on a fucking pasty.

          I agree the wardrobe malfunction was a bullshit reason, but it wasn’t a pasty. It was a piercing that looked like a sun and had her nipple through the center. Again, still BS reasoning being pushed by people with too much power.

      they literally cut the cams, tackled, and jailed the member of his crew with the flags. the wiggle room was tight dude. i get you wanted more, i’m sorry you didn’t get it. but know he got a shocking amount through. that was the most political halftime show i ever seen
