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.
hey what biases do these historians have? why do they think genocide doesn't play when evaluating presidents?
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?
