Hey, here's a terrible idea: organizing an Anti-Beyoncé rally in New York City! Despite the fact that the majority of people in the world considered the first live performance of her new single, "Formation," at the 2016 Super Bowl halftime show to be a great success, somebody decided to set up a rally to protest against it as an acceptable showcase for TV audiences. The sentiments of this rally echo the words of former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, who said Beyoncé's performance was an attack of sorts on law enforcement (via The New York Daily News).

The rally's event page, which you can visit right here, features an impassioned "call-to-arms" for those affected by the Black Panther-esque dancers featured in the "Formation" performance, with hopes of organizing the masses for this event (via Complex).
"Are you offended as an American that Beyoncé pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl (sic)? Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement? Do you agree that the Black Panthers was/is a hate group which should not be glorified? Come and let's stand together," the organizer states. "Let's tell the NFL we don't want hate speech & racism at the Superbowl ever again!"
This rally is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb 16, 2016 at 8:00 AM.
Whether or not this rally actually takes place is still up in the air. While we wait to see this "protest" come to fruition or not, check out the full Super Bowl halftime show, also featuring Coldplay and Bruno Mars, right here (via SPIN):
