U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “Snoop Dogg performing at Super Bowl halftime show becoming even worse look,” sports columnist Phil Mushnick comments for the New York Post. His reaction was triggered by an ad for Corona beer “starring” the law-breaking rapper and juxtaposing that against the murder of two NYPD officers responding to a domestic violence call.
“And as I watched that Corona ad, I got to thinking about Snoop Dogg’s violently anti-police, pro-crime vile and vulgar ‘artistry,’ mindful that Roger Goodell appointed and anointed Snoop Dogg the headliner at this year’s Super Bowl halftime,” Mushnick related.
AmmoLand covered the complete lineup when it was announced last October. In addition to Snoop, it includes Dr. Dre, accused by his estranged wife of “holding a gun to her head, punching her in the face and grabbing her by the neck,” and Eminem, who pled guilty on a weapons charge, whose ex-bodyguard claims engaged in an “armed standoff,” and whose spousal abuse is recorded in word and deed.
That’s enough to get most celebrities (deservedly) canceled, but some “cultures,” at least as far as their preponderant ethics go, are more immune than others. The violent degradation of women and rap have always gone together like peas and carrots. For an explanation, think dollar signs. That’s why Pepsi pays the big bucks for halftime show sponsorship rights.
So is it really a surprise that the “woke” anti-gun NFL would place such profits above principles? Besides, Snoop, whose past includes illegal gun possession and beating the rap on a murder charge after “an alleged gang member … was shot by someone in the vehicle Snoop was riding in,” shares league management’s affinity for #NoGunsAllowed.
Imagine Goodell approving a headliner who advocated symbolically killing Joe Biden. Such a person would never work again, and no corporation would even think about associating their product with a “cancel culture” pariah lest they be bankrupted along with the “progressive” orthodoxy heretic. Snoop did it twice with Donald Trump, once with a shot to the head and again on a morgue slab with a toe tag.
And the crowd went wild.
The guy seems impervious to the judgments that would result in a mob ready to rip apart anyone deemed by social media to be an infidel, and a good part of that is because he serves a purpose those deciding who and what to promote (still) find lucrative and useful. So instead of being destroyed and forgotten, he gets gig after gig, from Corona beer to The Joker’s Wild, all designed to normalize and expand his influence outside of rap and bring it into homes across the land.
And what more wholesome personality could Middle America welcome into its living rooms than the “star” of Girls Gone Wild: Doggy Style, doing the important work of luring underage girls with drugs to behave like drunken self-shaming exhibitionist sluts for his GGW business partner Joe Francis, convicted of falsely imprisoning and assaulting women, “grabbing one … by the hair and throat and slamm[ing] her head into the floor.”
NFL “values,” right, Mr. Gooddell? Especially with “Women … watching the NFL in record numbers”…
Speaking of that video, no one in media seems interested in the undisclosed settlement to get the underage girls to drop their lawsuit accusing Snoop and the production of acts to “solicit, lure, entice and pressure, through the use of their celebrity status and through offers of illegal narcotics such as marijuana and ‘ecstasy’ … [the two underage women] to disrobe and expose their breasts for the purpose of use in a ‘Girls Gone Wild’ film” (and the TBS money men who gave him the game show gig know about that but don’t care).
That you don’t hear a peep on this outrage from the Women’s March or other “feminist” groups (and every Democrat who tried to torpedo Brett Kavanaugh over “recovered memories” from a party apparatchik) for what you would think would be an issue of great importance for them. That plays on another demonstrable observation: The stated goals of leftist “issue” groups take a back seat to a greater agenda. It’s the same reason why you didn’t see furious demands for heads from the most strident LGBTQ leaders but instead, their silence was deafening when Muslim taxi drivers in Cleveland refused to drive cabs with “Gay Games” advertisements. It’s why “environmental case” groups don’t say a word about ecosystem destruction caused by invading aliens, not to mention the increased pollution, energy and water usage, and demand for infrastructure to accommodate millions of future Democrats. They each have their piece of the action, but ultimately, their individual causes are subordinate to the end goal and their “leaders” know it and steer things accordingly.
Besides, Shannon Watts is out there saying the real women-haters are men who support those buying guns in record numbers. Go figure.
Back to Goodell, these are the headliners he intends Americans to invite into their living rooms with his upcoming bread and circuses extravaganza, and based on results, he’s got his market figured out. We’re talking about a guy running an illusion machine that can convince multitudes (“SoFi Stadium’s normal seating capacity is 70,000, although that number can expand to 100,000”) to pay $7K for nosebleed seats, with the threat of eviction if they can’t produce their jab “papers” and/or take their masks down for other than eating and drinking overpriced concession stand garbage. There’s no word on what will happen if anyone decides to take a knee during that other “national anthem.”
Meanwhile, Americans throughout the land will be hosting Super Bowl parties and generally celebrating…what, exactly? No matter, most won’t care who they’re inviting into their homes as they raucously cheer “their” teams with an emotional devotion that, if manifested as opposition to the Democrat/media narrative, would get them condemned by the FBI as “domestic extremists” and worse.
Now, go and worship the new idols:
