Super Bowl Halftime Performer Detained for Flag Incident

A performer in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show was detained after unfurling a Sudanese-Palestinian flag on the field during the performance. The individual, described as an adult Black male, is now banned from all NFL stadiums and events. Authorities are investigating charges, but no arrest or summons has been issued.

The performer displayed the flag on a prop car used in the show without anyone’s knowledge beforehand. However, the incident did not disrupt the performance, and the flag was not shown in the live broadcast of Lamar’s halftime show. The NFL claims to be working with authorities to determine the individual’s affiliation with the performance.
