NFL Suing M.I.A.


The NFL is suing rapper M.I.A. for making an obscene gesture at Superbowl XLVI.
The league demands $1.5 million from the rapper-singer and a public apology, but her lawyer says "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."
On Feb. 5, 2012, nearly 167 million TV viewers tuned in to Super Bowl XLVI to watch a matchup between the New York Giants and New England Patriots. Besides the football action, what had people talking that day was a halftime performance by M.I.A. and, specifically, how she extended her middle finger during a performance of "Give Me All Your Luvin' " while mouthing, "I don't give a shit."
But the NFL did care. One month after the performance, the league initiated legal proceedings against the English-Sri Lankan rapper-singer. In a March 13, 2012, filing at the American Arbitration Association, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, the league demanded $1.5 million from M.I.A. for allegedly breaching her performance contract and tarnishing its goodwill and reputation.

It took this long! Well Beyonce and Madonna need to be be sued as well. Beyounce/Stripper moves and Madonna's/satanic worship performance was inappropriate.


Yeah I said it!!

No, they are suing her because she's not white. Period. A white bitch could have done it and been forgiven. Don't believe me? Ask Miley.

Well you said it! I said what I had to say about "white media" on another post. It's good to know I'm not the only one who sees the disrespect!
