A protester who displayed a banner with the word “GAZA” during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl LIX halftime show will not face charges, New Orleans police said on Monday. The banner combined the black stripes of Palestinian and Sudanese flags with the word SUDAN on it.
During the performance, the cast member jumped off the stage and ran across the field before being tackled by security personnel. Roc Nation, the production company behind the show, claimed the flag display was not planned. As a result, the protester has been banned from league stadiums for life.
The incident occurred during President Donald Trump’s attendance at the game, who had made comments about his government’s intentions to buy and own Gaza, which have been widely rejected by the Palestinian people.
