The old people were performing. Looked like aging trollops in a dive strip joint. Are these women broke or too attention starved to hang it up?

The two women on that stage have over $700 million between them.

How much are you worth?

Women can wear what they want in this country. We don’t have to be modest if we choose not too.

My boys are 13 and 15. We were at a party with other tween and teen kids, no one got up and left. Why are you all teaching your boys that a women’s body is something to feel embarrassed about appreciating?

They work out hard, they are athletes that train for hours for their dance routines. Simply denigrating them as just “scantily clad women” is incredibly misogynistic.

Oh stop. Of course they can wear what they want and take the critique that comes with it. Much of what they do well was completely overshadowed by the choices they made in order to entertain millions of men with their bodies. They knew that they awere doing. The goal si get and keep viewers and get talked about. They accomplished that.

If a male performer got up there in a speedo, rubbed his crotch, gyrated, did lots of chippendale moves, and generally over sexualized a musical performance, I would feel the exact same way. It would also be a choice I would criticize and it would also accomplish the goal of getting people talking. Since women aren't as physically oriented, it might not keep women watching.

You mean like the lead singer of Maroon 5 did in last year's show? Here's the video, and he removes his shirt around 12:25:

That’s nasty too!! Why must the NFL claim to be for families. I posted this already but they donate to schools, they put programs to be role models for kids.

Not everyone is a pearl clutcher. Please. I’m Hispanic and again they look good but like pp said they made choices to sell sex as their performance. They are hot, look great and are talented. They really don’t need to pole dance, grabs their grotch to prove it. What was the tongue thing, imitating oral sex?

It’s only feels overshadowed by conservative pearl clutchers who view women as sexual beings that need to be covered up and modest in order to be taken seriously.

If you can’t get past your distaste for their clothing and bodies to see the talent and hard work put into their performance than that’s a you problem.




They are performers.

The performance includes the costume choices and the dance moves.They made choices. Their choice wasn't to put their music as the focus. No one is on their music. They are getting attention for what they wanted - their bodies, their clothes or lack there of, and their sexualization of their dance moves and themselves. Lots of women love to be objectified and gawked at by men. I am not saying it is a wrong choice, just not the one I would make and not the type of role modeling of women I want to give my kids. Lots of memes and gifs being made and circulated of their crotch rubbing and tongueing and other moves. They went for the lowest common denominator. Basic sex appeal. So empowering for women!

Of course their outfits were part of the performance. My point was that if the outfit choices are so offensive to you, that all you can then focus on is the fact that they are indeed sexy women and nothing more, than that’s a problem with you.

I can see them as powerful AND sexy AND talented women. They brought it all to their performance.

Never. No one needs to grab or rub their crotches while singing. Men with their pants around their knees do it all the time. It just comes across as crass and immature - women don't find it sexy.

I thought that performance was sad. Two talented women felt the need to broadcast their sexuality to make sure they’re still relevant. This is the antithesis of aging gracefully. I can’t believe that people felt that overtly sexual display was empowering; it just reinforced the male stereotype of women as whores and objects. It was also grossly inappropriate for what should be a family event. Women will never be taken seriously if we don’t take ourselves seriously - including as performers.

I am sure Trump loved that show. Probably watching it on repeat.
