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.

much, much worse than the status quo presidents we've had in the past.

Shut the fuck up, crackkker. There were literal slave owners who held the office of president and many more who ordered the genocide of Native American people. Trump is an asshole who does ghoulish shit worthy of condemnation, especially with the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

But there is no way to do worse than genocide, whether it's indigenous people in 1831 or Palestinians in 2025. Do not white wash the crimes of former US presidents and downplay the evils they committed. Trump is exactly what you can expect from a country who, along with one of their neighbors, wiped out nearly 100 million people, enslaved another 20 million, and then backed brutal dictatorships such as Batista in Cuba, Pinochet in Chile, or Pol Pot in Cambodia.

America isn't alone. America is responsible for the exact kinds of crimes that literally Every other nation in the world has committed, many long before America was even founded, including whatever country you come from.

Dishonest deflection.

As a reminder, you are claiming that the current president is worse than those that owned slaves and committed genocide to steal the land you now live on.

You are using white supremacist talking points.

He IS worse than them. The only reason he isn't owning slaves and outright killing people is because he's only been in power for a few months. But he is already responsible for the deaths of thousands, and they are preparing for a future in which prison slaves will be a major labor force in America.

He is easily the most corrupt president in all of history, and he is the ONLY president who attempted an Insurrection in order to install himself as Dictator for Life. He also stole hundreds of classified documents to sell to our enemies. No other president has tried any of that.

“ and they are preparing for a future in which prison slaves will be a major labor force in America.”

This history degree, did you manage to sleep through earning it? Was it honorary for being the biggest believer in the USA civic religion? Is this a very elaborate bit?

In one ear and out the other. Completely ignored that my point here was about deflection and that you need to revisit the original reply and handle it honestly.

Instead, you want me to redundantly engage with what you already avoided? Reply to parent germanely and then ask nicely.

So the full term before is nothing?

and they are preparing for a future in which prison slaves will be a major labor force in America.

It's only the future as a product of being true for a very long time already.

He IS worse than them.

You are a white supremacist
