According to the records obtained by the outlet, one viewer noted, "The halftime show was terrible with the language and gestures. My younger kids did not need to see and hear this!"
Several complaints revolved around the show not being appropriate for "all ages."
Along with that some dubbed the halftime show as racist as "there wasn't one white person in the whole show."
Another appeal shared, "I want to know why is it that there was not one white person involved???? I felt discriminated against and why was Uncle Sam Black when Uncle Sam is white?"
They added, "I felt very discriminated. It made me feel very uncomfortable."
