This year, the NFL frequently had games internationally. And as the season progresses, the last international game has come, which will be played in Munich, Germany. This is a huge deal, and the NFL is planning a lot of stuff for it. In all of these arrangements, they have put on a small entertainment for the fans in the middle of the game. It will be a performance by Machine Gun Kelly, but it seems like the news has sparked outrage among fans.
Yes, you heard that correctly. This game in Germany will be between the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants. The fans were already miffed because such a low-excitement game was planned for an international venue. And now, midway through the game, Machine Gun Kelly’s performance is unveiled.
Many believe that all of these elements together are a horrible concept for Germany. They even believe Goodell is shameless for pulling off anything like this. A fan argued on the announcement, “Halftime shows at regular season games? Goodell is shameless.”

This was not it, as one fan also stated, “Giants-Panthers with Machine Gun Kelly performing at halftime?? Germany will never ask for an NFL game again.” Although this was only an insult to the NFL, what if it is correct? What if this game fails to produce significant attendance or income for the NFL? It might possibly become Germany’s last live game.
Well, the backlash against the announcement demonstrated that fans desired more exciting games at international competitions. But what’s with the hate for MGK?

Fans believe Germany will launch a war due to Machine Gun Kelly’s performance.
What’s your perspective on:
Is the NFL sabotaging its global reputation with a lackluster game and MGK's performance in Germany?
Have an interesting take?
Looks like a lot of contentious remarks from the fans have also poured in following the announcement. A fan was so angry that they claimed, “Germany might start another war after they are subjected to MGK performing at a Panthers/Giants game in their country”
Hate for Machine Gun Kelly has been too much in the comments section of this announcement. Fans argue that the game was already poor for an international arena, and it couldn’t get much worse. The fan stated, “Just when you thought this game couldn’t get worse.”

Some supporters explicitly stated that the United States may detest Germany, which is why they were handed such a horrible combination. This was such a negative statement that many fans are only talking about it. The comment read, “Sheesh we must really hate Germany give them a shit game and MGK”
Looking at all of these negative fan replies, one thing seems evident. The game will undoubtedly generate a lot of animosity for the NFL, and something must be done to make supporters happy after the game. That will also depend on how the Panthers and Giants perform. If the teams do well, the tournament is predicted to be a huge success. Only time is going to tell us whether or not this game will be a success for the NFL.
