Among other things, what's bizarre about this whole thing is the suggestion that the NFL is forcing something on people. Choosing an artist whose music was streamed 20 billion times last year to perform at halftime is an example of them following the culture not fighting it.
If that show triggered you, you’re just looking for bullshit to be mad about
