Super Bowl halftime performer detained after unfurling Sudanese-Palestinian flag
-
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!

He was a dancer hired for the event. He wasn't anywhere he wasn't supposed to be.
-
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest!
-
- This is literally the government restricting his free speech.
- Why do people always defend censorship as long as it is done by corporations owned by billionaires? We're not talking about someone's home, or even some small family owned corner shop. It's the fucking NFL, and they are in a stadium with thousands of sports fans all screaming and chanting. And knowing sports fans, some of them probably saying vile shit as well towards the other team and their fans, which we're fine with, but when they censor someone's political opinion: "don't you know it's private property?"
-
I'm pretty sure the NFL didn't arrest him
-
I'm not defending corporate censorship, I'm just saying it's not a First Amendment violation.
-
The comment I responded to brought up the First Amendment, so I think it's relevant to correct them.
-
The land of the free.

They mean they're looking at what laws the guy may have broken, not exclusively 1A. Probable cause gives cops a limited ability to arrest and ask questions later, and public nuisance laws absolutely are a thing.
It should be noted that stadium security initially held him, but the police did not detain him, and have not charged with him a crime because he did not commit one.
-
I'm sorry you're on lemmy so either you are fully against or fully in support of something.. Nothing in between
-
For unfurling a piece of coloured fabric!!
Go home America, you're drunk.
