Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

What's the complaint? That it's not an American performing?
The Who performed at the Superbowl before. They're not American...
EDIT: Yes, I know he's American. I'm trying to understand what these misinformed people are claiming to be upset about. They're not even consistent, which suggests that they're BSing about their reason.
He is American. I still laugh at who the Squeaker of the House threw out there as a better alternative....Lee Greenwood, which I had to look up, because I never heard of him. Unlike Bad Bunny - I don't pay that much attention to pop music, but even I know who he is...
From another reply:
Yeah, I know. I should've made it more clear that I was attempting to get into their misinformed heads.
They don't know that he's American, but they're not even consistent. There have been non-American performances at the Superbowl before, so I don't even know what the complaint is supposed to be.
He's Puerto Rican...
"that's part of America dear"
Just not part of the white America.
It's the icky part. We need kid rock
Yeah, I know. I should've made it more clear that I was attempting to get into their misinformed heads.
They don't know that he's American, but they're not even consistent. There have been non-American performances at the Superbowl before, so I don't even know what the complaint is supposed to be.
The complaint is that he's brown and speaks another language.
I wish they would just admit it. If you have to lie about what's upsetting you, you should realize your reasoning for being upset is probably BS.
I'm pretty sure they think they are annoying it because that's what they think "not American" is. Same reason why they didn't give a fuck when white Europeans with songs in English were there.
