Will the NFL be canceling the Super Bowl LVI halftime show?

After Jon Gruden was humiliated and run out of the league over old emails from before he was coaching the Raiders that contained offensive language towards Roger Goodell, President Joe Biden and other groups, it’s more than fair to ask if Eminem and Dr. Dre should be allowed to be associated with the league and perform at this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.

In Eminem’s 2000 song “Kim,” the legendary rapper fantasized about killing his ex-wife Kim Mathers. The lyrics of the song state in part:

We’ll be right back — well, I will, you’ll be in the trunk
So long, b*tch, you did me so wrong
I don’t wanna go on
Living in this world without you
So long, b*tch, you did me so wrong
I don’t wanna go on
Living in this world without you

…

You and your husband have a fight, one of you tries to grab a knife
And during the struggle he accidentally gets his Adam’s apple sliced (No!)
And while this is going on, his son just woke up
And he walks in, she panics, and he gets his throat cut
(Oh my God!) So now they both dead
And you slash your own throat
So now it’s double homicide and suicide with no note
I shoulda known better when you started to act weird
We coulda— hey, where you going? Get back here!
You can’t run from me, Kim! It’s just us, nobody else

You can listen to the whole song below.

Let’s also not forget that Eminem appeared to subtly rap about former Vice President Mike Pence getting shot when he sang “Gnat.”

The problems with Dr. Dre and Eminem performing don’t stop there! Dr. Dre, who blew up as a member of N.W.A., has a very notable history of abusing a woman.

He abused Dee Barnes and allegedly slammed “her face and the right side of her body repeatedly against a wall near the stairway,” according to NME.com.

Later, Dre said he was out of his “fu**ing mind” when discussing the incident, according to the same NME report.

Dre also rapped about shooting people on his song “One Shot One Kill.” The lyrics state in part:

I came here to raise hell, I can’t lie
One shot, one kill, it’s real, I ain’t hidin’
You on’t shoot one shot if you ain’t ready to die
And never get it f**ked up, I got shooters for hire
Cause you don’t want it, I have you like aye aye
Better back the f**k up, over guns so I try
Now that weak sh*t will never slide, I despise
You are now not in the presence of nice guys

You can listen to the whole song below.

Furthermore, Deshaun Watson is currently facing more than 20 civil allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. Now, that’s not to say he’s guilty of anything. He has the right to be presumed innocent, but how is he eligible to play when he’s facing way more serious allegations than anything Gruden is.

If Jon Gruden is going to be run out of the league for his old emails, then why do the allegations against Dr. Dre and the lyrics of him and Eminem not matter just as much?

To be clear, the lyrics don’t offend me at all and I hate cancel culture. I’m not suggesting the halftime show be changed.

I’m just pointing out the absurdity of pushing Gruden out the door while promoting Dr. Dre and Eminem and keeping Watson eligible. It makes no sense.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
