NFL bans Rihanna

Rihanna - Nov 2012

Rihanna has been sidelined by CBS and NFL for good. Last week, the League and station pulled Rihanna and Jay Z’s “Run This Town” shortly after the Ray Rice incident made national headlines due to the release of a new video.

Many believed that Rihanna’s song was pulled because she was a victim of domestic violence during her relationship with Chris Brown. CBS decided to air the song at this week’s game, however; Rihanna was appalled by the station’s initial decision to pull the song.


“CBS you pulled my song last week, now you wanna slide it back in this Thursday? N0 F—- you! Y’all are sad for penalizing me for this.”

CBS and the NFL responded by banning Rihanna’s song for the entire year. The station will move in another direction with the music selection for Thursday Night Football.
