Nike, the largest sportswear company in the world, decided to air an ad during the Super Bowl for the first time in more than 25 years. 
It elected to feature only female athletes, such as Caitlin Clark, in an apparent attempt to show its support for women’s sports. 
However, if Nike really wanted to support women’s sports, it would speak out against allowing males to compete against girls and women, like it does when it comes to alleged racism. 
Except, Nike has never done that. In fact, Nike has done the opposite.

When Taylor Swift appeared on the Jumbotron at Super Bowl LIX in the Caesars Superdome, the reaction from Philly fans in attendance was intense as boos boomed through the stadium.
Swift, attending the big game to see her darling (Chiefs’ Travis Kelce), appeared surprised by the massive booing she received. The international pop star attended the game with fellow artist Ice Spice, and the two women laughed at the booing from rabid Eagles fans. 
WATCH:
NFL fans were amused by the playful jabs at Taylor Swift, who, a week ago, was partying at the Grammys.

While the pregame ceremonies for the Super Bowl were mired by the singing of “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” there were plenty of other highlights that redeemed the festivities.
First, there was the traditional singing of “America the Beautiful,” performed by a duet of Lauren Daigle (a Christian singer) and Trombone Shorty (I bet you know what his contribution to the performance was). Both are from Louisiana, and they channeled the classic style of music unique to New Orleans in the song. It was a fantastic rendition.

Before playing in Super Bowl LIX, Eagles and Chiefs stars showed up in some head-turning outfits.
Some outfits were standouts, while others missed the mark.
Philadelphia Eagles wideout DeVonta Smith took the prize for ‘most questionable look’ of the night with an all-red suit. Does he know those are Chiefs colors?
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts looked to Waluigi and Prince for some outfit inspiration. 
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, seeking his third-straight Super Bowl win, returned the favor by showing up in a dark green suit.

Fans who tuned in to watch the Super Bowl quickly saw something controversial take place, but it had nothing to do with the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs.
It had to do with the national anthem. Well, I should specify, it was “The Black National Anthem,” the unofficial title of the song “Lift Every Voice And Sing.” Many people (rightly) claim that the song is divisive, because it not-so-subtly segregates people based on their skin color. After all, the song isn’t meant to be sung if you are White, Hispanic, or Asian.
