M.I.A. "NFL incident was a tribute to Hindu goddess Matangi"
Quote:
"In America you have gang signs, and people throw up initials and stuff like that.
Well, 5,000 years ago, there was thing called a mudra, which is your sitting position when you do yoga or you're meditating or praying or whatever.
And you have different ones based on what you're meditating over.
There’s not a lot of them that are named after gods and goddesses, but the middle finger is specifically named Matangi
– the Matangi mudra."
OK. But she did not clear that with the NFL to do that. She didn't tell anyone because she knew they would allow her to do that on a worldwide telecast. Albeit her explanation she knows what that means in the 21 st century
