    What’s the complaint? That it’s not an American performing?

    The Who performed at the Superbowl before. They’re not American…

    EDIT: Yes, I know he’s American. I’m trying to understand what these misinformed people are claiming to be upset about. They’re not even consistent, which suggests that they’re BSing about their reason.

      He is American. I still laugh at who the Squeaker of the House threw out there as a better alternative…Lee Greenwood, which I had to look up, because I never heard of him. Unlike Bad Bunny - I don’t pay that much attention to pop music, but even I know who he is…

        From another reply:

        Yeah, I know. I should’ve made it more clear that I was attempting to get into their misinformed heads.

        They don’t know that he’s American, but they’re not even consistent. There have been non-American performances at the Superbowl before, so I don’t even know what the complaint is supposed to be.

        I wish they would just admit it. If you have to lie about what’s upsetting you, you should realize your reasoning for being upset is probably BS.

          I’m pretty sure they think they are annoying it because that’s what they think “not American” is. Same reason why they didn’t give a fuck when white Europeans with songs in English were there.
