America hater Colin Kaepernick may not have been at the Super Bowl with his former team the San Francisco 49ers, but his unpatriotic spirit was there. Rapper Jay-Z and his much more successful wife Beyonce refused to stand when the National Anthem was played. This was just a small part of the NFL’s effort to push their lefty politics on football fans during their biggest showcase.
TMZ got some video from Super Bowl LIV, capturing all the shame:
Beyonce, Jay-Z and their kid, Blue Ivy, chose not to stand up for the National Anthem at Super Bowl LIV … even with Jay being a big partner of the league now.
The Carters were sitting together a few rows back from the field, and they clearly didn’t make an effort to get up during Demi Lovato’s performance. A guy who appears to be a bodyguard of theirs was standing though, as was pretty much everyone else around them.
And it probably wasn’t just the stars being too lazy to get off their asses. AS TMZ noted, Jay-Z is an anti-cop activist and Kaepernick fan:
It’s interesting, of course, because Jay has teamed up with the NFL to shine a light on police brutality, the criminal justice system and other causes important to him and the black community. He’s also heading up their entertainment arm these days for more diversity.
And, just on Saturday, he doubled down on his efforts with the NFL … insisting he hadn’t betrayed Colin Kaepernick and was getting to the same destination on a different route.
Well, he disrespected the flag on the national stage just like Kaepernick so he’s taking pretty much the same route.
Clearly the NFL is also a partner in Jay-Z’s anti-American sentiments. The Super Bowl half-time show featured some “woke” moments as well.
Jennifer Lopez sang the Bruce Springsteen hit “Born in the U.S.A” while draped in a huge Puerto Rican flag to make some kind of statement on immigration. The Hill reports:
This “Born in the USA” moment was cool. https://t.co/q5xtaCawpX

Jennifer Lopez drew viral praise on social media after she sang “Born in the U.S.A.” while wearing a Puerto Rican flag during her joint halftime performance with Shakira at the Super Bowl.
The moment came shortly after Lopez, whose parents are Puerto Rican, joined her daughter, Emme, in singing the 1984 hit by Bruce Springsteen while wearing the flag on stage.
Many perceived the move as a political statement by Lopez, who has used her platform in the past to bring more attention to the treatment of Puerto Ricans and also to denounce the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy.
Uh, Puerto Rico is part of the United States and President Trump hasn’t attempt to stop immigration from the U.S territory, but whatever.
In another moment of lefty wokeness, there were children in cages:
Fox & Friends lauded the Super Bowl halftime show Monday morning, giving props to their broadcast family member Fox Sports for featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira doing Jennifer Lopez and Shakira-type things. But like any good bit of entertainment, the show was not without a bit of controversy, and Sunday night’s “dance-off” was no exception.
Co-host Brian Kilmeade noted that during a particular transition of the performance, “they have kids that look like they are in cages,” adding, “a lot of people thought is this something going after the [Trump] administration … put kids in cages, and that is what Democrats say about Republicans about their policy.”
Uh, it was Obama who put kids in cages but whatever.
The NFL just started getting fans back that they lost by allowing players to kneel during the National Anthem and they decided to celebrate but shoving lefty politics down everyone’s throats. Their anti-cop ambassador refused to stand for the Star Spangled Banner and they actively promoted illegal immigration. Stick to football, morons. That’s why people watch.
