I certainly hope that doesn’t sound too judgy but I have to say, that was NOT my favorite part of the performance.
Do I think J.Lo looks amazing? Yes.
Do I think she can pole dance like a boss? Also yes.
But I don’t think that was meant to be seen by children.
My two young boys and daughter was watching the game with us tonight – as a family. Sure, my boys can be like, “She’s Hot” as she’s dancing and shaking her booty but pole dancing in front of thousands of children all over the nation was a bit much.Absolutely terrible halftime show @SuperBowl!! Shame on you for calling pole dancing entertainment. And to think @JLo said it was about women’s empowerment! We just digressed majorly in our view of women. Do better next time! I have daughters and a son!

Again, I am totally not trying to be overly judgmental because I know pole dancing is no joke. It’s actually one of the things I want to learn how to do but from the privacy of my own home. Not where my boys can see it and not where others kids’ can see it. It’d pretty much be for my husband and I ONLY.Alex: Mom is that pole dancing ? me: yeah buddy. #SBLIV @JLo.

I am not sure what went on through JLo’s mind and I probably never will know but she has nothing to prove. Sure, she’s 50 but she’s still GOT IT. She’s amazing.
She can sing, dance and shake her booty. She doesn’t need to pole dance for millions in order to prove how amazing she is.
Maybe I am an old soul (I am not even 30 yet) but I think the pole dancing could have been eliminated and it still would have been an amazing performance. Unless, I am wrong and this is some sort of new women’s empowerment thing? If it is, it really isn’t something I intend on teaching my daughter but to each their own.
Bring back @BrunoMars …there was no singing and too much butt shaking and pole dancing ????????

I come from the great bands era 60’s- 70’s It should be about a great singer, great music and singing great songs! A woman bearing herself to lousy music is just not great entertainment!
Honestly I didn’t pay much attention to the pole dancing. Shakira was awful. She acted like a stripper. And she’s a Mom. It was repulsive. That’s not entertainment.
I cannot believe that this is even a conversation being had! This was a performance; Jlo has an incredible amount of strength and clearly is comfortable with and loves her body. She takes care of herself and it is clear that she understands that her body is a temple, and treats it as such – as all women should do. She is the very definition of women’s empowerment – strong, confident, and she doesn’t care what people think. Judging others is often a reflection of your own insecurities. Might wanna work on that instead of writing another article like this.
If you are concerned that your child just watched someone “pole dancing” that says more about you and what you have exposed them too. Otherwise, it is just dancing and aerial acrobatics like cirque du soleil. It’s your job to teach them to not objectify women, and not let your daughters be objectified. Good job teaching them that it is their responsibility to ensure men don’t stare or get distracted by the female body.
You guys are acting like you don’t know that worse stuff than this is on tv and the internet.
I agree. I don’t care if it’s men or women on the stage. The Superbowl has become family unfriendly and yes young children do like to watch football and be a part of things. The halftime shows have been disappointing for a number of years. Changing the channel doesn’t change the fact that it’s trash and why should families have to. Go back to the days of bands and groups playing. Much more fun for families. I too am confused about the women’s empowerment. Women want to be seen as more than objects, yet they put themselves out there like that. You can show your singing talent and dancing without being vulgar and having more clothes on. I didn’t even bother to watch yet saw plenty on commercials. I don’t want my children growing up thinking our bodies have to look a certain way.
Hear me out, cheerleaders are half dressed all season
Players get serious injuries and mostly sponsors are
beer companies… what parent would really say the
NFL is family friendly?
Lol what a joke, with all of the obscenity displayed through politics nowadays, comparing JLo’s pole dancing on live TV is like making an analogy between my little pony vs. bull riding. The level of impact and repulsion, and the level of appropriateness for children simply does not match. Funny how most of the women against her dancing are either white, plus-sized women, or just not attractive at all.
It was a performance. I dont see anythong wrong it’s ok for men to grab there crotch take off shirts while woman drool in them. If anything, this shows me that she is empowerment. Do what ever you want as a performer. She was in a movie that she worked out for in a pole. Also, there are classes for woman to take to pole dance they use it as an exercise program.for strengthening. It was a great show hence “show”. I’m sorry but it’s such a double standard it’s a performance unless your children know what a pole dancer does then let It be. They were great. Shakira is known for her belly dancing and j lo is and was a dancer for years and a singer. Let it go already. Oh by the way i think it’s best every stays away from Dallas cowboys field being their girls are dancing as well . Come on
Women exploiting themselves for money – what’s that usually called? It’s NOT “fierce”, it’s NOT “liberated”. And what’s it called when you expose underage girls like those brought on stage? Really? The best display of female talent they could come up with in these days of Weinstein, R er patron and MeToo?
