M.I.A.’s Middle Finger May Cost Her $1.5 Million + She GOES OFF On the NFL [Video] Ms. Bels Tuesday, September 24, 2013 Foul on the Play, The Game, The Receipt Remember M.I.A.’s performance during the Super Bowl halftime in 2012?? Well, despite her performance being good and alongside a pop icon Madonna, just like Janet Jackson’s infamous nip slip, M.I.A. is now being penalized by the National Football League. The NFL has apparently suing the singer for $1.5 million for her middle finger hand gesture made during that performance. They claimed that M.I.A. was in breech of contract by flipping the finger which wasn’t a good look for the NFL and the 167 million viewers who were watching. Of course, this didn’t sit too well with the outspoken artist. M.I.A. recorded a Youtube video to explain her disgust with the entire situation. Check out what she had to say… “The NFL thing is completely ridiculous. It’s been making me laugh for a while, but now it’s so boring, I don’t even laugh anymore. Now they’re scapegoating me into figuring out the goal posts on what is offensive in America. Is my finger offensive or is an underage black girl with her legs wide open more offensive to the family audience?” DO YOU THINK THE NFL IS GOING OVERBOARD WITH THIS LAWSUIT?
