Super Bowl LIX saw the Philadelphia Eagles thrash the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday, 9th Feb.
The Eagles took an overwhelming 34-point lead, with a Chiefs resurgence in the final quarter proving to be a day late and a dollar short.
However, as America reflects on the end of another NFL season, there’s one question you may be wondering: just how woke was this year’s Super Bowl?
The night got off to a bad start as the NFL permitted a rendition of “Lift Every Voice And Sing”. Often referred to as the “Black National Anthem” given its origins as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson, the airing raised questions as to whether it should have been sung at all given the divisive sentiment behind it.
However, wokeness objectors were soon thrilled to see Donald Trump to become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, with loud cheers ringing out when his appearance was revealed to the crowd in New Orleans.
(On a side note, Trump was apparently less than impressed with the game itself, taking time to announce a new policy on Truth Social).
As the nation sat down to watch the half-time ads, it was a less-woke-than-usual airing. One particular ad proved popular with conservatives on social media…
… while another was less well-received.
There was, however, a rather memorable moment when pro-Democrat Taylor Swift was loudly booed by the paying audience (in fairness, took it well!)
Were there any woke moments we missed? Let us know in the comments.
