Eminem took a knee during the Super Bowl halftime performance, a gesture that echoed the protests launched by Colin Kaepernick against racial injustice that roiled the National Football League for years.

INGLEWOOD, Calif.—Rap icon Eminem took a knee during the Super Bowl halftime performance Sunday, a gesture that echoed the protests launched by Colin Kaepernick against racial injustice that roiled the National Football League for years.

Eminem’s gesture, midway through America’s most-watched television event, came at a particularly sensitive moment for the NFL after a recently fired coach sued the league and several teams over alleged racial discrimination in its hiring practices.

Shameful but no surprise.

🙏🙏🙏

This was a tribute to Tupac. Hope yall get sued.

Halftime was the perfect time to switch over to Seinfeld for one episode. It worked out perfectly!

Is he bowing after his performance or taking a knee? He could be praying! I don’t know. I did love the show I think it was the best in the last 10 years snoop was the show you show stealer you…awesomeness 👍💕✌️

Wigger

Even if you don’t like hip hop that was way better than THE WHO OR MICK JAGGER…keep it real …And it’s crazy how all the white ppl are showing there true colors as well saying it was the worst ever like tell us you not racist without telling us smh hahahaha

I’m pretty sure this was paying his respect to Tupac, but do what you need to in order to generate clicks

y a big deal it was probably part of the performance

Who?

Knees were weak

By kneeling to the woke mob does he hope to get a pass for his racist 'foolish pride' track, while Joe Rogan gets cancelled.

Excellent!💯

Bullshit by a boiled singer

Subscribe fadakidd!❤️

Eminem is basically white nigga. He was apologising to who?

Agree with such an expression, it will attract more people's attention on the stage of the Super Bowl Eminem

I will take a knee at my next job meeting. Let's see how long it takes to get fired. Should i use words like 're imagine ' ? Lmao

Stupid. And Worst halftime show ever. Nobody I know or saw understood a word of what the my weee babbling Screw the SJW GESTURES. It’s football, not a Portland riot.

BS. He needs a behavior modification treatment. Boycott has been never was cuck MandM

Nobody knows more about racism than descendants of North American slavers.

It was for Tupac! And only real West Coast fans will understand Tupac influence on the rap game, hence Eminem kneeling

Good for him. ImWithKap

The NFL knew and greenlit Marshall's act & rationale.

Eminem is White, he can care less about racial equality

🤮🤮🤮

No one really cared or noticed...until the media brought it up....

Trust me he’s been on his knees many times in his life in Dre’s office

Did WSJ assume or is just part of Eminem performance? If you assume that just making an ass out of u and me.

Is this a joke? Asking for a friend…

Snooze

Did you ever think that the way he’s kneeling was not protest but paying homage to late great 2 PAC while Dre played “I ain’t mad atcha”. (I know WSJ never heard of the Song.) But ok let’s make it political.🤬

And this also gave Eminem extra time in the headlines….. 🤨

That's not what I got out of it. It felt like a way to end the performance. Also, I heard something about a small tribute to Tupac which sounded like what Dre might have been playing when Eminem kneeled. I could be wrong but I don't think this was what you think it was.

Who?

I think the knee was for Tupac? When Dre sat at the piano it sounded like he played the beginning of … Keep Your Head Up.. Right?

Eminem just lost all credibity with me.

Kneeling has been so overused it is about as radical a protest statement as a high five or farting in an elevator.

Where ? At The Fooseball Game

Lame

Pathetic crap.

He was praying

I read the article. There's a lot of inference by Beaton, and there are statements from the NFL. Did anyone think to ask Slim Shady or his choreographer or even Dr. Dre about it?

Knee away!, we just enjoyed your song...

How can you compare an artist taking a knee at the end of his performance versus a black football player that does it during the national anthem? 😱

Who cares if he took a knee. Let’s discuss how 50 cent became a $1.50…stacked

I just thought he was getting ready to pass out from taking too many drugs.

I don't think do. That was the end of his performance you're reading a bit much into it, as usual.

oh boo hoo 😭

DGAF & did not watch the NFL Cucumber Bowl.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪

Highly doubt that's why he did that

Nah he kneeled for 2pac, when Dre was playing his song.

He has arthritis. Old knees.

What about the flop from MJB
