NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A Super Bowl halftime show performer was charged Thursday with two misdemeanors, about 4 1/2 months after he ran across the field at the Superdome waving a flag that included the words “Sudan and Free Gaza,” Louisiana State Police said.
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, 41, turned himself in to authorities to face of charges resisting a police officer and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly, police said. He surrendered in coordination with his attorney and was booked into the Orleans Parish Justice Center.
Nantambu revealed the flag and ran on the field during rapper Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance on Feb. 9. He was detained on the field after his demonstration but not charged. The NFL said at the time he would be banned for life from league stadiums and events.
According to a statement from police, Nantambu had been hired as an extra performer and “had permission to be on the field during the performance, but did not have permission to demonstrate as he did.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy thanked investigators for their work.
“We take any attempt to disrupt any part of an NFL game, including the halftime show, very seriously and are pleased this individual will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” McCarthy said in a statement.
Politically incoherent
Except you don’t, you have a vague understanding “oh, yeah, sure we killed some people, but that was in the past” You literally disregard the entire history of this country. You do not see the vastness of the atrocities we have committed, and continued to commit without pause from the moment we stepped on this land and continue to this day. I wish you could see all of the dead bodies and the destroyed cities and the burning children that you just gloss over. The massive list of entire countries that we have destroyed. Nobody else on the planet comes close.
That was literally propaganda, you are adhering yourself to mere words written on a piece of ancient paper, while ignoring what those americans were literally doing while signing it (Hint it’s mass genocide and slavery) IT WAS NEVER TRUE
Mere words, please substantiate literally anything that backs up this claim. You won’t find it. They were literally enslaving people as they wrote that
Name a worse one, with cold hard facts. You cannot because there isn’t one. We are the fucking baddies on this planet. By like a factor of 100. You are a historian that refuses history. You’ve consumed garbage ‘history’ books filled with lies and omissions and your life is a fucking joke because you do not understand your own supposed profession.
Go hug the statue of liberty.
