Hey, everything is about politics in America in 2022, and the Super Bowl was no exception.
First, the halftime show drew condemnation from Republicans and a bunch of racists on social media. Frankly, the only halftime show that was better was Prince, but whatever. The Right Wing freak out over the show demonstrates conclusively (as if conclusive proof were needed) that the only thing holding the right together anymore is a series of overblown grievances and manufactured outrage.
Second, the decision to award the MVP to Cooper Kupp was strange. Matthew Stafford threw for 283 yards and 3 TDs, and the Rams defensive line blew up the game in the second half with Aaron Donald getting 2 huge sacks. Giving it to the "gritty hardworking" white wide receiver seems...odd. He had a very good game, but was he the MVP? It was Stafford who threw those dimes to him. Cincinnati scored a field goal with less than four minutes gone in the third and never scored again. Kupp do that? Look, he's a great player, but the undersized, hardworking "gritty" white guy thing seems forced.
