Law enforcement is trying to figure out what crime to charge a performer with after he went rogue during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show and unfurled a combination Sudanese-Palestinian flag “Sudan” and “Gaza” written on it. The NFL said the protester was part of he 400-member field cast.
“The individual hid the item on his possession and unveiled it late in the show,” the league said. “No one involved with the production was aware of the individual’s intent.”
The NFL has banned him “for life from all NFL stadiums and events,” said NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy.
A representative for Roc Nation, the entertainment company behind the halftime show, said in a statement, “The act by the individual was neither planned nor part of the production and was never in any rehearsal.”
