NFL Wants Potential Super Bowl Halftime Acts To Pay For Right To Play

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, the NFL is being a real big jerk to the musical artists that have been selected as finalists to land this year's Super Bowl halftime gig. The league, seemingly unable to understand how concerts work, is asking the artists to pay money in order to play the show.

From the WSJ:

The NFL has narrowed down the list of potential performers for the 2015 Super Bowl to three candidates: Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Coldplay, these people said. While notifying the artists' camps of their candidacy, league representatives also asked at least some of the acts if they would be willing to contribute a portion of their post-Super Bowl tour income to the league, or if they would make some other type of financial contribution, in exchange for the halftime gig.
There's a lot going on here, but I think the fact that it looks like only "some" of the acts were asked to fork over cash is worth noting. There is a 99 percent chance that the NFL was too chickenshit to ask Rihanna for a cut.

[WSJ]

I'd like to think that one of these days, the NFL is going to get put in their place. Hopefully, Mark Cuban is right.

EDIT: Also, no Weird Al :(

Foo Fighters, please. They'd put on an excellent show.

Wanna know how I know the NFL is gay?

Because Coldplay...

This sounds made up.

Holy shit the league is much more mismanaged than I thought.

instead - They're getting Demonpenz on acoustical

Well if the NFL would actually get some decent artists to preform during the half time show they wouldn't have these shit artists that are so bad they should be having to pay for the right to be a part of the Super Bowl.

Lol. Halftime. I haven't watched a halftime show since prince. And it was only because me wife was telling me how awesome it was. And it was. Halftime is for beer/drinks, pump, dump, cigars, dip etc. So gay. But popular I realize

Should just grab a kid from a random Guitar Center.

The NFL's other ideas in the works:

1. Don't sell jerseys to fans, but lease them. The fan will pay $2 every time he wears the shirt.

2. Royalty fees from any parents who name their child Tom, Aaron, or Jadeveon.

3. Charge fans by the play. Punts are 50 cents, runs are $1, and passes are $5.

4. Host all games in New York.
