As The Hollywood Reporter revealed last September, the NFL has been secretly pursuing M.I.A. in arbitration in the aftermath of Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5, 2012. During the event watched by nearly 167 million TV households, the Sri Lankan singer-rapper extended her middle finger during a performance of "Give Me All Your Luvin' "
M.I.A. wasn't paid for the event as is the custom of the league. But nevertheless, the NFL spent the first two years of arbitration demanding $1.5 million for allegedly breaching her performance contract and tarnishing its goodwill and reputation.
Now the NFL has added an additional claim, seeking $15.1 million more in "restitution" as the alleged value of public exposure she received by appearing for an approximately two minute segment during Madonna's performance. The figure is based on what advertisers would have paid for ads during this time. "The claim for restitution lacks any basis in law, fact, or logic," say M.I.A.'s response papers, filed on Friday.
Then why aren't they suing all the criminals, murderers, drunk drivers, drug users and domestic abusers who actually play in the NFL for ruining its reputation.
Someone offer them a damn seat. Especially after learning how much companies payed to have their commercials aired during the Superbowl. They need to stop.
They're still pressed? Should Adele Dahzeem sing the chorus of "Let It Go" to them so they can let it go? It's not that serious. Just go on about your life Bye, Felicias
They are seriously ridiculous and out of line. I love Maya for doing this because if it were anyone else, they would have just paid it, but she knows better and she's fighting for what's right as always
