The NFL is icing Colin Kaepernick (allegedly). So Rihanna is icing the NFL.

Us Weekly magazine is reporting, and Rolling Stone is confirming, that the multiple Grammy-winner turned down an offer to perform at halftime during Super Bowl LIII in February. A source told US Weekly, “The NFL and CBS really wanted Rihanna to be next year’s performer in Atlanta. They offered it to her, but she said no because of the kneeling controversy. She doesn’t agree with the NFL’s stance.
