Even though pop singer Pink was suffering from the flu, she did a phenomenal job singing the National Anthem. Standing with her at Super Bowl LII in Minneapolis, Minnesota, were representatives from all branches of the United States military.
Pink was dressed in white and gave an unwavering performance. She wanted to show her patriotism and match the incredible performance of her idol Whitney Houston from 1991 during the first Gulf War. For a football league suffering from low ratings thanks to the “take a knee” protests, Pink showed us what being an American is all about.

But not everyone was happy:
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it 1000 times. Pink sucks and if you like her singing you’re dumb #SuperBowl

HAHAHA! This is classic. Pink was in no mood for insults, and Twitter loved it:

You go girl…….If they are so ‘offended’ by our national anthem, then
let them leave the US. I assure them, we will not give it another thought.
Well the NFL tried to increase viewer by getting Pink to sing the National Anthem, and distract the views from the players that took a knee or just stayed sitting on the bench. i will never watch the National Felon league. BOYCOTT the NFL……
Speaking only for myself, I’m so tired of the naysayers in this nation continually yapping about how bad everything is. They’re MAKING it bad with their carping. To quote a well-known radio personality, we’re the greatest nation on the face of the planet and it isn’t close to changing.
PINK-saw your performance the next day. Thank you for a job well done.
Viet Nam Veteran. US Army Retired
Pink did an excellent job!
Wow! She nailed it and then some. Instantly memorable!
Touché!
For someone with the flu, she sure did amazingly well.
How anyone could slag off Pink for sing their country’s national anthem leavers me bewildered, even though I come from New Zealand, thank you pink you were beautiful and a true patriot to your country, God Bless You.
I am an old (70) man and don’t really know Pink. I usually listen to Charlie Daniels, that’s my favored music. BUT, I watched this young woman sign our national anthem before the Super Bowl and as a Veteran of the United States Army I want to say to her…You were wonderful! Thank you for honoring our nation and by the way, you can really sing. As for those who want to say bad things to you…I say what we used to in the Military Police…BOOYA!!!!
You’ve got 13 years on me, sir. I too am Retired Army and I hear you, Lima Charlie!
Hoorah!
Typical of extreme stretching by right wingnuts. A few malcontents criticize a pop singer and Political Insider writes it up as though there was some kind of broad unpatriotic liberal consensus involved. Paranoia!
“Typical of extreme stretching by right wing nuts.”
We learned it from the left wing nuts. They have it mastered, how to make a mountain from an ant hill.
TRUMP WAS RIGHT, IF THE OVERPAID STUPID IDIOTS DONT APPRICIATE MY FLAG AND MY COUNTRY, AND US MAKING THEM FILTHY RICH, THE SOB’S SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY AND MAKE THIS KIND OF MONEY, SEND THEM TO IRAQ. I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF FOOT BALL ALL MY LIFE, BUT I WOULD NOT WALK ACROSS THE STREET WITH A FREE TICKET TO SEE A GAME. THEY AND MOST MAJOR LEAGUE SPORTS HAVE PRICED THEMSELVES OUT OF 90% OF THE MARKET. IF YOU THINK THEY HAVE PROBLEMS NOW, WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
Pink, a lovely, vivacious, young women who obviously loves her country and her family. I was extremely surprised as I’m quite a bit older than Pink, I never heard her sing before, now I regret that. Her National Anthem was moving and exemplary on all counts. God Bless You “Pink”, I thoroughly enjoyed your performance and I pray you recover from that nasty flu. You are exceptional!!!
Neat, Pink !
PS_baby snot on mamma´s face is common in Winter; occasionally, on daddy´s also.
Pink killed it , anytime a liberal attacks you , you know you did a kick ass job . Liberals despise America .
Given the fact the Eagles are boycotting a White House visit its pretty obvious these people are turning traditional values and areas of our society that are supposed to be non-Partisan into a racist ambiguity at best. And Trump hatred without genuine cause at worst. I din;t watch the game and I think the Eagles are pathetic winners, I won;t invest any more time on the NFL. Its the opposite of up lifting. That Pink would any way be disparaged for singing our anthem tells me that gangs are taking over sports just they do in Drug gang run cities and cartels own the teams. There is so much more to life than what I need to watch in this pathetic spectacle. And a shout out to the Eagle fans who protected friends of mine from a gang of Eagle fans who are Viking fans. The great Eagle fans surround Mother Father and 10 year old son and shouted pushing them and saying they were going to kill them they told the 10 year old they were going to rape and kill his mother. Other fans protected them. I think its a good thing the Eagles team is not allowed at the White House if this is the kind of fans they make. The 10 year old is still traumatized.
Suddenly I’m a Pink fan.
Why don’t all the Anthem haters self-deport and find a place (in hell) where they can be happy!
Pink did great even with the flu!
