I was very disappointed in the halftime show. I felt it was very inappropriate since families withchildren watch. Beyoncés performance was in poor taste and was offensive. There was nothing
family oriented or uplifting about the show.

Description
Up until last night, I was a fan of Beyonce. I am complaining about her Super Bowl performance for 2reasons. The first is that I thought her attire was inappropriate for a family event (specifically the
fishnet stockings and garter). Why is it that all of the women were scantily clad and the men were
not? This was a horrible thing for my young daughter to see. I also oppose the message of her
song/performance in that I think it will push more people to be on a witch hunt for police officers. If
the main halftime performer and the 2nd one (Coldplay and Bruno Mars) performed their hits, why did
Beyonce get away with not performing one of hers? Thank you.

Description
The SB half time show was a disgrace and offensive. It was vulgar, distasteful, and a slap in the faceour military and law enforcement. It was not something I consider FAMILY entertainment. I am
through with the Super Bowl and it's over paid, over hyped agenda. You can have it.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I am disappointed that such a performance would be aired. Janet Jackson was reprimanded for herpastey. That was a personal "statement" in regards to how she "sees" herself. Beyonce made a
militia type statement, with faux ammo and the imagty of a violent group. I find her inference scary,
not at all entertaining. The police us looking to secure the spectators from terrorists and are insulted
by Beyoncé making a performance statement about Black Lives Matter. ALL LIVES MATTER! Will
she accept accountability if someone's death is a result of her dance? The Super Bowl halftime show
is not a stage for her to politicize her interpretation of - hands up, don't shoot. That's extremely
selfish. There seems to have been no forethought about consequences. Entertain when it's time to
do so. Express your opinion where and when appropriate. The Super Bowl was not a venue for her to
act out. Had I attended, I would demand a refund for the purchase if my ticket. I strongly believe she
should apologize for THAT performance. As a person, I would strive to bring lives together. Display strength in a listening and caring manner.
Exemplify patience and togetherness. Diversity should endorse differences, not aggravate
differences.

DescriptionMarlee Matlin was chosen by the National Association of the Deaf to sign the National Anthem during
Super Bowl 50. It was an exciting time for the Deaf community but a lot of us were disappointed when
she only got three to five seconds of air time. Can the FCC make sure future Super Bowls will either
include a box with the signer in it or at least a dedicated public video streaming channel for the Deaf
community?

_____________________________________________________________________________
DescriptionThe Super Bowl half time show is supposed to be free of political propaganda. However after
watching the super bowl half time show I am disgusted that Beyonces performance was allowed to be
aired since it highlighted the Black Lives Matter movement, anti police and Black Panthers cause.
These performers are supposed to be neutral and instead Beyonces performance ignited more hatred
for the police and racism against non African Americans. If Janet Jackson can get in trouble for a
wardrobe malfunction then the actions of Beyoncé should receive a far harsher punishment including
being banned from ever performing in a Super Bowl halftime show again.

Description
To Whom It May Concern:
Why music aren’t captioned curing halftime show? When a person talks, caption comes up but when
a person sings, caption does not come up. Why is that? Only Hearing people are allow to listen to
music, not Deaf people because we cannot hear? That is not fair! I remember long time ago, music
are always captioned. Now, lately music aren’t captioned anymore. WHY?!?!?! It’s English spoken
song, it should be captioned.
How can Deaf people enjoy the music if it’s not captioned? You have no right to decided Deaf p eople
cannot hear the music, so music shouldn’t be captioned. NO RIGHT AT ALL!!!
I did not enjoy the Halftime show at all… because the music were not captioned.
NOT HAPPY AT ALL!

Description
I was appalled at the performance of Beyoncé and her dancers during the halftime entertainment.This was not entertaining at all. It was racially charged and they insulted our police officers that put
their lives on the line everyday. She proceeded with this awful show, after she had the gall to
demand a police escort to the event. These are the kinds of demonstrations that create hate and
racial divide amongst our people. The NFL and Beyoncé and any others involved in allowing this
performance should be held accountable and need to apologize to the American people and police
officers that they were allowed to offend.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
NFL promoted and supported the participation of Beyonce Knowles that paid tribute to known hategroups, terrorist & murders while advocating violence against LEO's. Celebrating Black Lives Matter
& the Black Panther party was in insult to Americans and LEO's all across America! The NFL banned
other artist for a nip slip, but is praising a scantily clad twerking diva with her lack of diverse dance
troupe outfitted in Black Panther outfits, blatantly hoisting the "black power fist". Insulting Americans
and had it been a white artist signing with the Confederate Flag or supporting the KKK, all hell would
break lose!! Huge double standard, the NFL should apologize and denounce the half-time show, most
of all apologize to LEO's!

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
The Super Bowl is a program that as a family we watch with our friend and extended family. Being alaw enforcement family ourselves, in a house full of other law enforcement families, it was disgusting
to be caught viewing such a show that frankly disrespects the profession of our families. We send our
families to enforce the law and pray that they come home safe. What they do is no different than
those on the front line at war. Nobody, program, or performance would ever mock the military. Why
mock the very people who they would call when they need help? Its performances and messages like
Beyonce's that drives people who are anti-police to act violently and convince officers that they no
longer want to be in law enforcement in fear of their lives for simply containing somebody who is
harming others. The stance that CBS, the NFL, and Pepsi are taking is that they clearly support the
Black Lives Matter movement which stems on being anti-police. Where the stance they should be
taking is that All Lives Matter and to respect and follow the laws. By knowing the content that herperformance entailed and showing it nationally, as a disrespected law enforcement family and an
embarrassed family of color, we will no longer watch CBS, support the NFL, or support Pepsi. Please
be mindful of the audience when broadcasting such discourteous content.

Description
Mark Turits,
Ah, that’s right… I forgot Super Bowl 50 is live and caption often delays a little.
Okay, the only thing I had problem with was… the first few minutes of Kickoff Show, there was no
caption coming up. Then it came up, delayed really bad for few minutes, then got better for the rest
of the show.
However, I was very, very, very, very, very, very disappointed during Halftime Show, the music were
not captioned. Why did this happen? I have noticed especially during live broadcasting, music are
never captioned. I don’t understand why this is happening? You know this is not fair. How can Deafpeople enjoy the Halftime Show if we cannot “listen” to their music by read the caption.
I remember years ago before HDTV were invented… I have always watched Super Bowl on regular
TV, broadcasting through cable — Halftime show are always captioned, including music. I am sure
those who watched through public channels on their TV were captioned during Halftime show. For
those who watch through Internet — music are never captioned through internet. WHY?!!?!?!?
I missed my Halftime show because music were not captioned. I did not enjoy it at all and I was very
angry and sad.

City/State/Zip: Omaha, Nebraska 68104
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
NuMale Medical Center, 444 Regency Parkway Dr, Suite 204, Omaha, NE 68114 ran a disturbingcommercial in the Omaha, NE market during the Super Bowl.
While there are no studies to back it up, anecdotally many people believe that there is some rise in
domestic violence on (or just after) Super Bowl Sunday. In fact, the Super Bowl / professional footbal
is so connected to domestic violence, that ads now run during the Super Bowl to address this national
problem.
The NuMale commercial suggests that a woman is required to visit a physician, using a walker,
because her husband injured her following "enhancement" by NuMale.
There is nothing remotely funny about families across Omaha being subjected to this. It isunfathomable that physicians would produce and air this commercial suggesting that it's cool to have
sex so vigorously with your wife, that she has to use a walker and seek out medical care.
Here is a link to the commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpbrIOr8ZFs&feature=share

Beyonce used the word fuck at least twice during her supposed half time entertainment show.Certainly this is a prohibited word even by todays standards. There was no disclaimer or warning

Company Complaining About: Cbs Televison Networks, Wfor Channel 4, Nfl
_____________________________________________________________________________
DescriptionWFOR Directv CH4 (CBS) "Super Bowl 50" 2-7-16, 6:30-10:00PM Eastern.
The closed captions were broadcast in substandard ALL CAPITALIZED TEXT for the entire program
when the standard for reading is lowercase, just like this form, just like ALL books, all magazines and
all newspapers. ( Even those big green interstate highway signs are in lowercase - wonder why?
Because lowercase is easier to read !!) Why is CBS allowed to use substandard ALL CAPS closed
captioned text for deaf and hard of hearing?
ALL CAPITALIZED TEXT is the lowest quality text you can force on someone. The brain expects
lowercase because it is the standard worldwide for hundreds of years. ALL CAPS slows down the
reading process, making it harder to understand the programming. The broadcasters keeps theCAPS LOCK key on because they are so lazy despite spending millions on producing this programs
and receiving millions in advertising revenue.
Note that the ads broadcast during the show are closed captioned in normal lowercase, the way they
should be. As soon as the Super Bowl programming starts or restarts, the captions are in Illegible
ALL CAPS AGAIN !! What an absolute disgrace !!
Note: IMG_4870_converted.mov ads with captions in normal lowercase play until 1:30 when
substandard ALL CAPS resumes.

on NFL Apps, aren't you guys breaking the ADA laws? breaking 21st Century Communication and
Video Accessibility Act law? It's not fair hearing people can enjoy watch the clips again on NFL Apps,
but Deaf people cannot without caption. I know there are thousand and thousand of die hard Deaf
fans who would love to watch those clips on NFL Apps, but how can we without caption? I defiantly
would have loved to watch those Super Bowl commercials again, but I cannot without caption.

Description
To Whom It May Concern:
I am trying to watch Super Bowl live on Apple TV through NFL Apps. I see Closed Caption is not
provided.
It is live streaming from public TV which is required Closed Caption. Why is it not working on NFL
Apps? There is 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act passed in 2010. It has
been six years and still no Closed Caption on NFL Apps?! How can I watch the Super Bowl 50th on
my Apple TV if closed caption is not provided? This is not fair and I am very disappointed.

Description
The NFL needs to be sanctioned for permitting this "artist" to parade around half-naked, and portrayherself as an anti-police supporter, a supporter of the Black Lives Matter Movement, and to glorify
Malcom X and his hatred of the white man during halftime of the Super Bowl when families are
watching.

Year after year after year we are subjected to Cock Grabs at the halftime televised show at the SuperBowl. I thought with Bruno Mars, Coldplay, and Beyonce this would be the first year without. But, no!
They just had to include a video of Michael Jackson grabbing his dick! When is this going to end
FCC? It's sick!

Glorifying the black panthers by Beyoncé during the halftime show. During the super bowl, a familyviewed program was absolutely disgusting!!! What message are you sending our youth? Go kill cops
and a " mega star" will honor you in 50 years?!?!
I guess the network is ok with going along with a race baiting pop star who drops a new album and
tour same day as she pays homage to a group of violent people who killed police officers...
Way to keep the race war alive !!! Absolutely disgusting!!!!

Description
Consumer said that 2 of the ads during the super bowl were something that she wanted to report.Kick starter with mountain dew she thought was a disgusting commercial and she said it aired twice
before 9 pm where kids could be watching this. She doesn’t think that kids should be able to see. She
said the commercial had a made up creature made up of 3 animals. The creature goes up to men and
starts licking them which she said is very sexually suggestive and very odd. She thought Marmot
apparel commercial as well was disturbing. She said that it also aired before 9 pm and kids could be
watching this as well. She said the commercial featured a guy and he was doing activities with a wild
creature and as the commercial goes on the animal looks up at the man and almost kisses him. Then
says that she is not that kind of marmot.

Ticket: # 820397 - Pruis Ads Featuring Robbery GetawayDate: 2/18/2016 8:59:56 PM
City/State/Zip: Lexington, Kentucky 40502
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I believe the advertisement for the Toyota Pruis, debuted during the Super Bowl and continuing to runtoday, is unacceptable for broadcast. The ad literally depicts the actions of criminals using the Pruis
as an efficient getaway vehicle after committing a bank robbery. Although the ad doesn't show the
robbery itself, it is clear that the four men emerging from the bank (complete with masks to covers
their faces) committed a violent crime. They then steal a Prius and proceed to outrun police in a
dangerous fashion on public roads. I appreciate that the idea is "fantasy," but the passive depiction
(and use of humor) to depict violent crime should not be tolerated. Would we feel differently if the four
men were being chased for drug crimes? For murder? Crime, particularly violent crimes such as bank
robbery, have no place on our public airwaves in an effort to sell cars, or anything else.

Description
i've never been compelled to right a complaint before until last night. i am a fan of beyonce. i am alsowhite. i do not have a problem with beyonce taking pride in her race. or anyone else for that matter.
but if any white artist was to perform a song anywhere, on any stage, about having pride in their race,
there would be extreme backlash. and really, never in a million years would the people who run the
super bowl ever allow that to happen on their stage that reaches over a 100 million viewers to begin
with. but beyonce is allowed to sing a song about black pride surrounded by all black dancers,
wearing all black, wearing black berets ala the black panthers, and talking about having all blacks get
in a formation. that is the biggest double standard i have seen in my entire life and should not be
anywhere on my tv. and then to end the halftime show talking about getting together and loving each
other...but she started it by singing about black pride? how do you go from segregation to integration
in one show and not look like a humongous hypocrite.
