Super Bowl Halftime Show Is Recruiting Workers for Less Pay Than Fast-Food Servers

The Super Bowl is the most lucrative sporting event in the world, generating as much as $1 billion in revenue.

For this year ’s halftime show, field crew workers will make as little as $12 per hour during rehearsals and during Super Bowl LIX itself.

The $ 12 -per-hour wages are compliant with labor laws in Louisiana , which lacks a state minimum wage.

At the Super Bowl in 2021 , production teams hired by the NFL were recruiting unpaid volunteers to perform as a part of the halftime show in Tampa , Florida .

The NFL eventually agreed to pay dancers $ 15 per hour, which still disappointed dance and labor advocates.

“ The Super Bowl or the NFL isn’t any different than any other corporation in the U.S. or the world: There’s always an equity issue,” Edwards said.

Meta users can now post “I’m a proud racist” or “Black people are more violent than whites” Conservatives have been hyperfixated on TikTok content that’s sympathetic with Gaza .

The TikTok ban is also about hiding pro-Palestinian content.
