Christian activist to sue NFL for Shakira and J-Lo halftime performance

This year’s 2020 NFL Super Bowl halftime show was an extravagant affair, putting on show the impeccable talents of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez, however it looks like not everyone was a fan of the performance.

Dancing in iconic outfits from Versace, belting out a medley of their greatest tunes and shaking their hips in time to their legendary tunes, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez owned the NFL Super Bowl night.

However, it looks like they’ve drawn the negative attention from the good old American right-wing Christians. It looks like two middle-aged women of colour owning their bodies and flaunting their skin is just too much for the Christians, and is far too shameful to even tolerate.

According to Right Wing Watch, one Christian activist and rabid homophobe, Dave Daubenmire, is taking things even further than just complaining online. On his “Pass the Salt” podcast, Daubenmire said that he plans to sue the National Football League because the halftime show threatens to prevent him “from getting into the kingdom of Heaven.”

“I think we ought to sue,” said Daubenmire. “Would that halftime show, would that have been rated PG? Were there any warnings that your 12-year-old son—whose hormones are just starting to operate – was there any warning that what he was going to see might cause him to get sexually excited?”

“Could I go into a courtroom and say, ‘Viewing what you put on that screen put me in danger of hellfire’?” he continued. “Could the court say, ‘That doesn’t apply here because the right to [produce] porn overrides your right to [not] watch it’? Yeah, well, you didn’t tell me I was gonna watch it! You just brought it into my living room. You didn’t tell me there were gonna be crotch shots! That’s discriminatory against the value I have in my house. You can’t just do that. I wanna sue them for about $867 trillion.”
