"Eminem taking a knee for Kaepernick?" - NFL fans lose their mind as rapper defies NFL's directive
Super Bowl LVI's halftime show may go down as one of the best halftime performances of all time. From Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre to Mary J. Blige to 50 Cent to Kendrick Lamar to Eminem, it was an amazing show for Hip-Hop fans all over the world.
One surprising moment came when Eminem took a knee for about 5-10 seconds on the stage after the NFL told him not to.

@cwilliamson44 salutes Eminem for kneeling.
If Eminem did kneel to spite the NFL and disobey them, salute.
This certainly won't get lost in the headlines. I'm sure in the next few days this will be talked about a lot. One thing is for sure, Eminem certainly doesn't care about what others think and he had every intention on doing that regardless of what the NFL told him.
