This year, the NFL has hosted multiple international games, with the last one set for Munich, Germany. While the league is pulling out all the stops for this event, including a halftime show by Machine Gun Kelly, the announcement has stirred controversy among fans.
It's true! The NFL's decision to feature the Panthers vs. Giants game in Germany has fans disappointed. Many argue that it’s a low-excitement matchup for such a big international stage. And now, midway through the game, the halftime performance by Machine Gun Kelly has only added fuel to the fire.
Fans are questioning Commissioner Roger Goodell’s judgment. One fan exclaimed, “Halftime shows at regular season games? Goodell is shameless.” Another joked, “Giants-Panthers with MGK? Germany will never ask for another NFL game again.”
The backlash highlights the desire for more thrilling matchups abroad. But what’s behind all the hate for MGK?
Fans mock that Germany might declare war over Machine Gun Kelly’s performance
Following the announcement that Machine Gun Kelly will perform at the Panthers vs. Giants game in Germany, fans have voiced strong disapproval. One fan’s frustration went so far as to joke, “Germany might start another war after they are subjected to MGK performing at a Panthers/Giants game in their country.” Many argue the game was already a poor choice for an international audience, with another fan stating,“Just when you thought this game couldn’t get worse.”
Some fans speculated that the U.S. “Sheesh we must really hate Germany give them a shit game and MGK” to send such a bad game and performance combination. With mounting negative reactions, the NFL faces the challenge of winning back fans' approval, which now hinges on how the teams perform. Whether the game will be a success remains to be seen.
