Maroon 5 is in a maroon mood as they are SCRAMBLING to find artists to guest perform with them at the Super Bowl Halftime show as critics now say it's the LEAST wanted gig after Rihanna backed out because the NFL's treatment of Colin Kaepernick and the kneeling controversy!!

With less than 2 months to go for Super Bowl LIII, the NFL is yet to officially announce an artist for the show that is watched by more than 100 million people nationwide

Adam Levine who's already in massive controversy after his controversial Voice judging when he favoured one artist over another during an elimination says he's still going to be the headline for the show despite a massive petition asking him to resign..

Adam however cannot find other acts to go on stage with them because "no one wants to be associated with the NFL" thanks to the controversy

The NFL offered it to Rihanna but she quickly declined them because she supports Kaepernick. CBS really wanted her to be there in Atlanta but she gave them the finger after what the NFL did to the kneeling stance and banned it from players doing it

Maroon 5 then tried to get Cardi B who raps on their track Girls Like You but a source said she too has backed out as she was going back and forth of wheteher to do it but ultimately said No.

12 other artists they tried to get but none have agreed to it including Mary J Blige

They are now trying to reach out to Andre 3000 from Outkast, Usher, Lauryn Hill and Nicki Minaj

Maroon 5 also faced backlash when reports of their performance were publishedd as people felt the NFL should have hired artists in Atlanta considering they were in the capital of black music such as Migos, Lil Yachty and Lil Baby

The Super Bowl is also a tough gig because it's UNPAID but does have a massive viewing audience and is supposed to garner artist exposure

Do you think The Super Bowl made a huge mistake in caving to Trump's demands to stop the kneeling?

NFL tried to pass a policy banning kneeling and it blew up in their face.

But tbh I cant think of anyone thats still actively kneeling. Would like to be corrected if there is

They can just do it by themselves. There doesn't need to be multiple acts at the superbowl. No reason you can't have one band do like 3 songs and then be done.

The NFL was foolish to not see this coming. Black people largely sided with Kaepernick and agreed with what he was doing. Why hurt your credibility among your fanbase when the NFL doesnt even pay people to perfom?

It's only a mistake if they let themselves be flummoxed by these occurrences.

Use it as an opportunity to gradually phase out of 'halftime shows' altogether. Just replace it with a montage of significant plays and stats accrued in the first two quarters plus commentators discussing them, put on a very short documentary about stuff in the NFL's history, have old Hall of Famers with a beef with each other argue on air, or what the heck, even try comparing the game with the inevitable simulation done on the latest Madden. Let it be anything that's at least related to football.

That's what Super Bowl viewers should be getting. Instead we get men screeching into mics and women shaking their asses. It's a disgrace.

Let the halftime be about football as well, I don't want anything else if I'm watching the SB. Hell, just fill the halftime slot full with commercials if you like money that much, NFL, at least the SB gives us opportunities to watch some novel, funny ones.

I think the NFLs general stance on disallowing players to use their appearance to champion certain causes is dumb. But its also their right.

As is refusing to support their position on what they allow their players to do. So its just business at work. The NFL just needs to hire a smaller band that cant afford to refuse the opportunity. There are a lot of great bands that arent super famous.

No you didn't because you don't understand that the purpose of the halftime show is to increase viewership because more viewers = more valuable commercial time.

The half-time also serves to mitigate the risk of viewership dropping off before the end of the first half in the event of a blowout. Advertisers and sponsors have more certainty of the money their spending reaching viewers through at least the first half.

without this, the league would make far less than even with more commercials added. pretty simple thinking
