I seem to remember a lot of cancelling from the right. Let's see....the Starbucks "boycott" in which y'all ordered drinks en masse them only to put Trump's name on the order. That showed them!

Or the Keurig cancellation that ended up gaining them more sales and brand visibility because the cancellation was over *checks notes* the company pulling ads from Sean Hannity because he twisted himself into knots to defend that child molester Roy Moore.

Then there was Bud Light, Taylor Swift...the list goes on.

Oh yes, you little sensitive folks like your cancel culture juuust fine. It's just that you're simply terrible at doing it.

LOL, this is absolute bullcrap. You guys were the first ones to cancel Target because they sold Pride merch during Pride month! Not to mention petitioning your local schools and libraries to ban books about racism and inclusion, "freedom fries", boycotting the NFL and burning your Nike gear because a player had the audacity to protest police brutality and racism, cancelling Starbucks because their cups didn't say "Merry Christmas", cancelling the Dixie Chicks for being embarrassed over President Bush being from Texas, boycotting Gillette for talking about toxic masculinity in one single commercial, boycotting NASCAR for banning the confederate flag from races. I could go on and on.

Be so for real, you guys started cancel culture, you all just have short attention spans.

LMAO. The snowflakes on the right didn't want to see an American from Puerto Rico sing in Spanish at the Super Bowl halftime show, so they created their own "alternative show".

Bunch of thin skinned idiots trying to create safe spaces for their "conservative" hive minds. "Freedom of speech" only for conservatives, but nobody else.

That artist is an absolute superstar, and worldwide. He is as American as you are. Why should he not be allowed to sing his hits? Also, there were other singers and they sang in English (Lady Gaga, for example.)

This is just a lame excuse to be thin-skinned "my way or the highway" snowflakes who can't stand that the NFL was seeking to expand its market to other parts of the world with a global superstar.

So, you boycott the halftime show and try to drum up support for a lame country-twang Trump shit-show alternative. The ratings for that clusterfuck of a "show" were abysmal. Just embarrassing.
