Of course, the question is ... was it sanctioned or not??? Well, depends on who you ask ... and how you interpret the NFL's official response. There are reports saying the move was forbidden by higher-ups, but a rep for the league went on record Sunday ... saying they’d seen Em take a knee during rehearsals, and were well aware it was included.
Whether they ever asked him not to is a different story -- and not necessarily addressed in the guy's statement here. But, it’s irrelevant now -- the dude did it, and by doing so ... definitely invoked the memory of Kap. As you know, the ex-QB spent his final year or so in the league doing just this before each game, all in the name of social justice.
Eminem has voiced support for the cause, and it seems he wanted to make a point about it during the most important moment of the broadcast.Play video contentIronically, not a single player from either team followed suit during the Anthem or anything. Also, not a peep from CK himself on this -- he didn’t publicly address the Super Bowl at all this weekend.
Nothing says oppression like One white guy kneeling for the 250 black people Getting paid on stage at the super bowl Lol
Who cares he’s a one hit wonder!
ooooo my gawd it's a show and so fkingvwhat
He knelt to pay respect to Tupac
Only people hating on the halftime show are too old and it wasn't their music growing up.
He took a knee because Dr. Dre started playing a 2Pac song. Media is Lame
Do they have the balls to tell him no
Ppl just not into enjoying anything anymore. Sad
Maybe he had a headache
Who’s to said it wasn’t in honor of Tupac as Dr Dre played on the piano… Y’all I tell ya!!!😤 I think it was the best halftime ever and I love MUSIC
Who cares, the movement is dead! Very few people even noticed! And no one made reference to it during or after the halftime show.
Just had to do it hope he feels better now. Some people never grow up
During the star spangled banner, one of the service men they showed was texting on his phone, so who cares
🏆🥰🏆🥰🏆🥰
He was paying tribute to 2pac!!!!
IT TAKES A VILLAGE ☮️💟🎬
