Super
Bowl LVII: Footage of Rihanna’s Illuminati gesture
during halftime show being censored leave NFL fans
outraged - 2023
Super
Bowl LVII was supposed to be a night of excitement,
entertainment, and celebration of the best in American
football. However, what was supposed to be a memorable
halftime show featuring Rihanna has sparked outrage
among NFL fans.
Many
people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl game primarily
for Rihanna’s halftime performance. It’s
no surprise, as the business mogul and Grammy-winning
star made her live stage debut after a long hiatus
from her musical career. Although her performance
attracted a viewership of 118.7 million, it failed
to satisfy many people.
The
audience complained that the ‘Rude Boy’
singer lip-synched for the entire time. Recently,
footage of Rihanna making a controversial gesture
made fans even more upset.
Her
performance had more viewers than the game itself.
Her performance drew 113 million viewers, which is
just 5.7 million fewer people than those who watched
the game. As the saying goes, “more people, more
problems.” Fans on social media noticed that
the 34-year-old artist made the Illuminati sign at
the end of her performance. This stirred a lot of
reactions.
The
singer performed some of the best songs from her musical
career in the halftime performance. However, the problem
arose when she made a diamond shape with her fingers.
Fans started speculating if she was making her ties
with the group apparent, as the Illuminati is a secret
society with powerful members that impose powerful
and political decisions in the world. Rumored members
of the society are Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Madonna,
Kim Kardashian, and more.
The
sign stirred a lot of controversy in the past because
it is generally associated with a mysterious and powerful
group. Matters only worsened when her gesture was
not shown during the live telecast on television.
Super
Bowl LVII proved to be a spectacle that left many
fans in awe, but it was also shrouded in controversy.
The censored footage of Rihanna’s Illuminati
gesture during the halftime show has sparked outrage
among NFL fans.
Whether
or not the gesture was intentional or simply a harmless
pose, the fact remains that it has opened up a wider
conversation and controversies.

The
NFL has historically been on the forefront of trying to prevent the proliferation
of sports betting, even more so than its fellow American professional sports leagues.
Heck, it was just a few years ago that the NFL was part of a lawsuit seeking to
block New Jersey from offering legalized sports betting. But
since PASPA was abolished in May 2018, the NFL has started to change its tune,
so much so that the league is currently seeking to hire its first VP of Sports
Betting. From
Legal Sports Report: According
to a job description circulating among headhunters, the new role will oversee
the league’s betting initiatives, focused on four pillars: Continuing
to protect the integrity of the game.
Advancing the NFL’s brand and reputation.
Driving
fan engagement globally.
Growing the value of the NFL’s data and IP. The
job description also hints at the introduction of betting content into NFL media
properties, historically a no-go for the league. According
to the job specification, the successful candidate will work with the NFL’s
media department on the “distribution of content for gaming purposes and
the integration of gaming products into the NFL’s platforms.” The
VP of sports betting would report into NFL chief strategy and growth officer Christopher
Halpin. They should have a “deep understanding” of the sports betting
and sports business landscapes, the description said. Reference:
