How the NFL tried and failed to censor its hip-hop halftime performance

Salon  

From nostalgic throwbacks to a high-energy set list, this year's goosebump-inducing Super Bowl halftime show lived up to its hype and delivered more than anticipated. A few hours before Sunday's game, Puck News reported that the NFL had denied Dr. Dre's request to take a knee – the gesture of protest against racial injustice and police brutality that was popularized by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick – during his performance. RELATED: The 25 best hip-hop protest songs ever No wonder Candace Owens faced backlash for supporting the show's "undeniable hip-hop and R&B excellence." The Daily Mail reports that the NFL also attempted to "disgustingly censor" some of the more outspoken lyrics in Dr. Dre's songs, going back and forth on content for weeks. Although Mark Quenzel — the senior vice president of programming and production for the NFL — said that he didn't discourage Gaga to not discuss politics, a statement from Billboard revealed that Quenzel described the Super Bowl as "a unifying day for people" and claimed that "anything that detracts from that is not something that we should be focusing on."
