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.
Andrew Jackson's policies have almost no relevance to 21st century American politics. Almost no president before the Civil War does.
You want to disparage me for not understanding AMERICAN history, when Andrew Jackson isn't even considered one of the 10 worst presidents by historians. Pre-Civil war Presidents like Polk, Taylor, Buchanan, etc are considered worse, but Europeans have never even heard of them. Then there is Andrew Johnson, the Confederate sympathizer VP who became president after Lincoln's assassination, and cancelled most of the Reconstruction efforts, establishing the Jim Crow laws, and starting the ferocious racism that dominated America for the next century.
If you want to choose a bad president as an example, you can do worse that Jackson.
By the way, I have a degree in history.
I think you have an actual problem keeping a point together, at this point I feel bad even arguing.
I said Trump was the most American president. As in he delivers the ideals of what America represents (in reality, not your liberal nationalist nonsense). When you said “No” so persuasively, I offered Jackson as another great representative of what America stands for, white supremacy and murder. You were very confused by this.
I do believe you have a history degree, you very likely 1. Have a very standard liberal university degree. 2. Have a wildly non-materialist view of history.
Presidential rankings are less important than music video rankings, I don’t care which bastard you like more.
I also hate people who always need the last word so I am doing my part in extending this.
pathetic
wipe your ass with it
hey what biases do these historians have? why do they think genocide doesn't play when evaluating presidents?
Who said they don't consider genocide in their rankings? American historians are brutal towards presidents that supported slavery and the Native American genocide. I've never seen a single authentic scholarly historian ( not a propagandist) justify either one of those terrible atrocities.
Those mid-19th century presidents are excoriated precisely because of their support of slavery and the Native American genocide.
As an American historian, how do you feel about president Joe Biden?
He's epic chungus 😋
Can we get
but the heads are all Biden and the medal is also bidens head?
This is either No True Scotsman or you have never engaged in the most mild evaluation of historiography. There have always been and continue to be historians who are defensive of slavery in cases like George Washington's. Mostly though, people seem to just sort of gloss over it in his case where they might be more emphatic toward less sacred cows. Yes, obviously there are also many historians who will attack most or all of the pre-Civil War Presidents.
Alright, so No True Scotsman
I'm also kind of skeptical of the substance even of your claim about those specific books, because you've been doing a lot of handwaving of American crimes that you nominally condemn elsewhere in this thread, and you and I both know there are countless tellings of the history of American slavers that handwring about the obvious evil but ultimately don't take it that seriously. It's paying a tax more than anything.
It's been 4 hours, you gonna answer this or nah?
Name em
Literally everyone president supported or currently supports the native American genocide. When you take the reigns of the government responsible for it and it doesn't stop, you are supporting it. Tacit support counts. If youre arguing that every US president was scum, I agree but it makes picking the worst one kinda unimportant
If you're going to lie, at least make it plausible.
If you had a degree in history, you would know what a hinge point the civil war was
