_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Up until last night, I was a fan of Beyonce. I am complaining about her Super Bowl performance for 2reasons. The first is that I thought her attire was inappropriate for a family event (specifically the

fishnet stockings and garter). Why is it that all of the women were scantily clad and the men were

not? This was a horrible thing for my young daughter to see. I also oppose the message of her

song/performance in that I think it will push more people to be on a witch hunt for police officers. If

the main halftime performer and the 2nd one (Coldplay and Bruno Mars) performed their hits, why did

Beyonce get away with not performing one of hers? Thank you.

The SB half time show was a disgrace and offensive. It was vulgar, distasteful, and a slap in the faceour military and law enforcement. It was not something I consider FAMILY entertainment. I am

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I am disappointed that such a performance would be aired. Janet Jackson was reprimanded for herpastey. That was a personal "statement" in regards to how she "sees" herself. Beyonce made a

militia type statement, with faux ammo and the imagty of a violent group. I find her inference scary,

not at all entertaining. The police us looking to secure the spectators from terrorists and are insulted

by Beyoncé making a performance statement about Black Lives Matter. ALL LIVES MATTER! Will

she accept accountability if someone's death is a result of her dance? The Super Bowl halftime show

is not a stage for her to politicize her interpretation of - hands up, don't shoot. That's extremely

selfish. There seems to have been no forethought about consequences. Entertain when it's time to

do so. Express your opinion where and when appropriate. The Super Bowl was not a venue for her to

act out. Had I attended, I would demand a refund for the purchase if my ticket. I strongly believe she

should apologize for THAT performance. As a person, I would strive to bring lives together. Display strength in a listening and caring manner.

Exemplify patience and togetherness. Diversity should endorse differences, not aggravate

differences.

DescriptionMarlee Matlin was chosen by the National Association of the Deaf to sign the National Anthem during

Super Bowl 50. It was an exciting time for the Deaf community but a lot of us were disappointed when

she only got three to five seconds of air time. Can the FCC make sure future Super Bowls will either

include a box with the signer in it or at least a dedicated public video streaming channel for the Deaf

community?

_____________________________________________________________________________

DescriptionThe Super Bowl half time show is supposed to be free of political propaganda. However after

watching the super bowl half time show I am disgusted that Beyonces performance was allowed to be

aired since it highlighted the Black Lives Matter movement, anti police and Black Panthers cause.

These performers are supposed to be neutral and instead Beyonces performance ignited more hatred

for the police and racism against non African Americans. If Janet Jackson can get in trouble for a

wardrobe malfunction then the actions of Beyoncé should receive a far harsher punishment including

being banned from ever performing in a Super Bowl halftime show again.

To Whom It May Concern:

Why music aren’t captioned curing halftime show? When a person talks, caption comes up but when

a person sings, caption does not come up. Why is that? Only Hearing people are allow to listen to

music, not Deaf people because we cannot hear? That is not fair! I remember long time ago, music

are always captioned. Now, lately music aren’t captioned anymore. WHY?!?!?! It’s English spoken

song, it should be captioned.

How can Deaf people enjoy the music if it’s not captioned? You have no right to decided Deaf p eople

cannot hear the music, so music shouldn’t be captioned. NO RIGHT AT ALL!!!

I did not enjoy the Halftime show at all… because the music were not captioned.

NOT HAPPY AT ALL!

Description

I was appalled at the performance of Beyoncé and her dancers during the halftime entertainment.This was not entertaining at all. It was racially charged and they insulted our police officers that put

their lives on the line everyday. She proceeded with this awful show, after she had the gall to

demand a police escort to the event. These are the kinds of demonstrations that create hate and

racial divide amongst our people. The NFL and Beyoncé and any others involved in allowing this

performance should be held accountable and need to apologize to the American people and police

officers that they were allowed to offend.

Description

NFL promoted and supported the participation of Beyonce Knowles that paid tribute to known hategroups, terrorist & murders while advocating violence against LEO's. Celebrating Black Lives Matter

& the Black Panther party was in insult to Americans and LEO's all across America! The NFL banned

other artist for a nip slip, but is praising a scantily clad twerking diva with her lack of diverse dance

troupe outfitted in Black Panther outfits, blatantly hoisting the "black power fist". Insulting Americans

and had it been a white artist signing with the Confederate Flag or supporting the KKK, all hell would

break lose!! Huge double standard, the NFL should apologize and denounce the half-time show, most

of all apologize to LEO's!

Description

The Super Bowl is a program that as a family we watch with our friend and extended family. Being alaw enforcement family ourselves, in a house full of other law enforcement families, it was disgusting

to be caught viewing such a show that frankly disrespects the profession of our families. We send our

families to enforce the law and pray that they come home safe. What they do is no different than

those on the front line at war. Nobody, program, or performance would ever mock the military. Why

mock the very people who they would call when they need help? Its performances and messages like

Beyonce's that drives people who are anti-police to act violently and convince officers that they no

longer want to be in law enforcement in fear of their lives for simply containing somebody who is

harming others. The stance that CBS, the NFL, and Pepsi are taking is that they clearly support the

Black Lives Matter movement which stems on being anti-police. Where the stance they should be

taking is that All Lives Matter and to respect and follow the laws. By knowing the content that herperformance entailed and showing it nationally, as a disrespected law enforcement family and an

embarrassed family of color, we will no longer watch CBS, support the NFL, or support Pepsi. Please

be mindful of the audience when broadcasting such discourteous content.

Mark Turits,

Ah, that’s right… I forgot Super Bowl 50 is live and caption often delays a little.

Okay, the only thing I had problem with was… the first few minutes of Kickoff Show, there was no

caption coming up. Then it came up, delayed really bad for few minutes, then got better for the rest

of the show.

However, I was very, very, very, very, very, very disappointed during Halftime Show, the music were

not captioned. Why did this happen? I have noticed especially during live broadcasting, music are

never captioned. I don’t understand why this is happening? You know this is not fair. How can Deafpeople enjoy the Halftime Show if we cannot “listen” to their music by read the caption.

I remember years ago before HDTV were invented… I have always watched Super Bowl on regular

TV, broadcasting through cable — Halftime show are always captioned, including music. I am sure

those who watched through public channels on their TV were captioned during Halftime show. For

those who watch through Internet — music are never captioned through internet. WHY?!!?!?!?

I missed my Halftime show because music were not captioned. I did not enjoy it at all and I was very

angry and sad.

City/State/Zip: Omaha, Nebraska 68104

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

NuMale Medical Center, 444 Regency Parkway Dr, Suite 204, Omaha, NE 68114 ran a disturbingcommercial in the Omaha, NE market during the Super Bowl.

While there are no studies to back it up, anecdotally many people believe that there is some rise in

domestic violence on (or just after) Super Bowl Sunday. In fact, the Super Bowl / professional footbal

is so connected to domestic violence, that ads now run during the Super Bowl to address this national

problem.

The NuMale commercial suggests that a woman is required to visit a physician, using a walker,

because her husband injured her following "enhancement" by NuMale.

There is nothing remotely funny about families across Omaha being subjected to this. It isunfathomable that physicians would produce and air this commercial suggesting that it's cool to have

sex so vigorously with your wife, that she has to use a walker and seek out medical care.

Here is a link to the commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpbrIOr8ZFs&feature=share

_____________________________________________________________________________

DescriptionWFOR Directv CH4 (CBS) "Super Bowl 50" 2-7-16, 6:30-10:00PM Eastern.

The closed captions were broadcast in substandard ALL CAPITALIZED TEXT for the entire program

when the standard for reading is lowercase, just like this form, just like ALL books, all magazines and

all newspapers. ( Even those big green interstate highway signs are in lowercase - wonder why?

Because lowercase is easier to read !!) Why is CBS allowed to use substandard ALL CAPS closed

captioned text for deaf and hard of hearing?

ALL CAPITALIZED TEXT is the lowest quality text you can force on someone. The brain expects

lowercase because it is the standard worldwide for hundreds of years. ALL CAPS slows down the

reading process, making it harder to understand the programming. The broadcasters keeps theCAPS LOCK key on because they are so lazy despite spending millions on producing this programs

and receiving millions in advertising revenue.

Note that the ads broadcast during the show are closed captioned in normal lowercase, the way they

should be. As soon as the Super Bowl programming starts or restarts, the captions are in Illegible

ALL CAPS AGAIN !! What an absolute disgrace !!

Note: IMG_4870_converted.mov ads with captions in normal lowercase play until 1:30 when

substandard ALL CAPS resumes.

I guess the network is ok with going along with a race baiting pop star who drops a new album and

tour same day as she pays homage to a group of violent people who killed police officers...

Way to keep the race war alive !!! Absolutely disgusting!!!!

Description

Consumer said that 2 of the ads during the super bowl were something that she wanted to report.Kick starter with mountain dew she thought was a disgusting commercial and she said it aired twice

before 9 pm where kids could be watching this. She doesn’t think that kids should be able to see. She

said the commercial had a made up creature made up of 3 animals. The creature goes up to men and

starts licking them which she said is very sexually suggestive and very odd. She thought Marmot

apparel commercial as well was disturbing. She said that it also aired before 9 pm and kids could be

watching this as well. She said the commercial featured a guy and he was doing activities with a wild

creature and as the commercial goes on the animal looks up at the man and almost kisses him. Then

says that she is not that kind of marmot.

Description

I believe the advertisement for the Toyota Pruis, debuted during the Super Bowl and continuing to runtoday, is unacceptable for broadcast. The ad literally depicts the actions of criminals using the Pruis

as an efficient getaway vehicle after committing a bank robbery. Although the ad doesn't show the

robbery itself, it is clear that the four men emerging from the bank (complete with masks to covers

their faces) committed a violent crime. They then steal a Prius and proceed to outrun police in a

dangerous fashion on public roads. I appreciate that the idea is "fantasy," but the passive depiction

(and use of humor) to depict violent crime should not be tolerated. Would we feel differently if the four

men were being chased for drug crimes? For murder? Crime, particularly violent crimes such as bank

robbery, have no place on our public airwaves in an effort to sell cars, or anything else.

Description

i've never been compelled to right a complaint before until last night. i am a fan of beyonce. i am alsowhite. i do not have a problem with beyonce taking pride in her race. or anyone else for that matter.

but if any white artist was to perform a song anywhere, on any stage, about having pride in their race,

there would be extreme backlash. and really, never in a million years would the people who run the

super bowl ever allow that to happen on their stage that reaches over a 100 million viewers to begin

with. but beyonce is allowed to sing a song about black pride surrounded by all black dancers,

wearing all black, wearing black berets ala the black panthers, and talking about having all blacks get

in a formation. that is the biggest double standard i have seen in my entire life and should not be

anywhere on my tv. and then to end the halftime show talking about getting together and loving each

other...but she started it by singing about black pride? how do you go from segregation to integration

in one show and not look like a humongous hypocrite.
