‘I’m so sad about this. Jesus come back soon!’ Super Bowl halftime show earns backlash
Some fans are not happy with the Super Bowl halftime show featuring singers Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.
Complaining about the dance-heavy and scantily-clad performance started popping up on Facebook and Twitter before it wrapped up.
Many took issue with what they deemed overly sexual, including “crotch-grabbing” and suggestive “pelvic thrusts.”
“Finish the Race,” a religious conservative group that bills itself as “Christians engaged in politics and social restoration,” complained that it was the work of “social justice warrior activism.”
“You can see the SJW activism & progressive corporate immorality in a number of commercials including homosexuality & trans,” Finish the Race posted on Twitter. “Never thought I would see the NFL marketing to weak ‘men’ and the half time in Spanish. Glad I did not watch a single game, again, this year.”
Of course, there were many more fans declaring that it was the greatest halftime show in history.
But even among those that enjoyed the performance, social media memes and jokes about how sexual it was flooded social media.
