Opinion: Super Bowl 2022 halftime show part of nation's culture wars

Posted by

In February for Black History Month, USA TODAY Sports is publishing the series "28 Black Stories in 28 Days." We examine the issues, challenges and opportunities Black athletes and sports officials continue to face after the nation’s reckoning on race two years ago.

Recently a host for the right-wing network Newsmax started one of his segments saying: "Eff the NFL."

Over his left shoulder was a graphic with gigantic letters that said "F#@% THE NFL" and next to the subtle headline was a picture of Commissioner Roger Goodell and rapper Snoop Dogg.

The host was, shall we say, a bit excited.

"Eff the NFL," he said, "yeah, totally, eff the NFL. They're exploitive, they're anti-American, they're 1,000 percent woke. They barely even show the national anthem anymore. It's too touchy."
