Til The NFL Does Right By Kaepernick



Many of the artists who performed at this year's Superbowl were from Atlanta. With the exception of Adam Levine and Travis Scott (who's dating a Kardashian) the line-up was full of artist who are caught between a career defining opportunity to celebrate their hometown and the chance to stand against the NFL's tone-deafness on the issue of police brutality.


Reportedly Beyonce, Cardi B & Rihanna all declined to participate in what is usually a career defining moment for most high profile musical acts. Here

Winners:

Chlore X Halle

Although the Queen Bey kept her distance from the NFLL championship. Her proteges Chloe X Halle gave an extremely beautiful rendition of "America The Beautiful"


Gladys Knight

Ain't nothin but a chicken wing for the Georgia diva who delivered a rousing rendition of the star spangled banner.


Losers:

Adam Levine

Welp, that was underwhelming. Although most of Maroon 5's audience won't have any problem with his lackluster non-political performance. He missed his chance to be this generation's Bono He looked good tho.


Travis Scott

Some people compared his performance to a bad American Idol audition. Check out the whole show and judge for yourself.
