    Default Poor taste NFL, Buffalo Bills and Toronto

    On a day when the NFL had a league wide moment of silence for the tragedy in Connecticut, the halftime performer in the Buffalo-Seattle game was rapper PSY.

    Why was that a bad move? Well not because he has that flat out awful Gangnam Style song. No it's because he has in the past sung a song with these lyrics...

    "Kill those ****ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives and those who ordered them to torture," and "Kill [the Yankees'] daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers / Kill them all slowly and painfully."

    Poor, poor choice and someone dropped the ball big time here.

    What does one have to do with the other?

    Really? They took time to have a moment of silence for those who died at the hands of violence and then had some dude who has a song about violence directed at Americans perform at halftime of the that same game? That's ok?

    I cannot be the only person here that knows about his song called "Dear America" am I? Am I the only one here that also thinks it was in poor taste?

    It was the first I had heard about it. Your post led me to research what you were talking about and it seems like the lyrics you posted were a poor translation.

    And no, I don't think an anti-war protest song has anything to do with the Connecticut incident.

    Hummm which is why he apologized for singing the song. I'm sure it was sincere and had nothing to do with the cash from coming into him.

    Look he is free to sing whats he wants, I just think considering what the NFL did yesterday it should have been handled different.

    Maybe the Ravens could book him as a HT show. Nothing like hearing God Bless the USA, which I wish they would stop playing BTW, and them this clown in the same day.
