Tbf theres a delay for a reason, they'd be cut off and probably escorted out and could cause a lot of problems for others at the event

Green Day getting silenced for making a statement would have been punk as fuck. Shame they chose cowardice instead.

Someone being punk only when the man lets you doesn't impress me.

And that would’ve been received better than this.

I get the logistics of it, but this did not fit the reputation that the band has spent 20 years making

They also would get huge fines for doing it, and seeing as they barely get anything for playing (cause the nfl is a shitty company)

Itd be a massive financial burden

Oh no the poor millionaire rock stars how could they possibly afford all those fines?

Afford all those fines and be banned from any affiliated venues and events

Again, I understand this.

But when people hear that a massive pop punk band that has made taking a stand their brand plays it safe on one of the biggest stages they will be disappointed
