NFL fans angered by Super Bowl 61 halftime show development<\/p>\n

Some NFL fans have made it clear they’re not happy.<\/p>\n

“It’s just a little ironic how the NFL plays music in the stadiums during games that most ticket buyers like or at least recognize, but when it comes to the Super Bowl halftime show they always book acts that appeal to demographics that don’t even have much interest in the games or teams,” one wrote.<\/p>\n

“Not happy with that,” one added.<\/p>\n

“Another Super Bowl halftime show I won’t be watching,” one added.<\/p>\n

“Won’t be watching,” one added.<\/p>\n

It’s been been years since a decent half time show. \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f,” another fan wrote.<\/p>\n

Of course, the NFL doesn’t necessarily try to appeal to football fans when picking the halftime show performer. It picks the performer that will put on the best show and draw the most viewers.<\/p>\n

We’re probably still a few months away from an official announcement, though.<\/p>\n
