Halftime Performer Stages Super Bowl Protest, Holding Up Flags of Sudan, Palestine

HeadlineFeb 10, 2025

On Sunday night, one of the Kennedy board members who was just fired, acclaimed musician Jon Batiste, sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the start of the Super Bowl, with Donald Trump in attendance. Ahead of the game, the NFL removed the words “End Racism” from the end zones.

During Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance, one of the dancers unveiled a Sudanese flag and Palestinian flag sewn together. The performer managed to run around the field holding the flags for about 20 seconds. Security guards then tackled the performer, who was arrested.
