"The NFL does not take kindly to superstars who provide Super Bowl halftime that isnt wholesome and it wasnt particularly happy when M.I.A. made like Bud Adams and flipped the bird during Madonnas February 2012 show."
"M.I.A., her lawyer told THR, plans to launch a public war on the mega-powerful football league.
She is going to go public with an explanation of how ridiculous it was for the NFL and its fans to devote such furor to this incident, Howard King said, while ignoring the genocide occurring in her home country and several other countries, topics she frequently speaks to.
M.I.A., whose given name is Mathangi Arulpragasam, is English and Sri Lankan.
Of course, the NFLs claimed reputation for wholesomeness is hilarious, in light of the weekly felonies committed by its stars, King said, the bounties placed by coaches on opposing players, the homophobic and racist comments uttered by its players, the complete disregard for the health of players and the premature deaths that have resulted from same, and the raping of public entities ready to sacrifice public funds to attract teams."
The NFL is trying to get $1.5 million from her. Laughable.
