The NFL is suing artist M.I.A. for $16.6 million dollars in damages after an incident during the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show when she flashed the middle finger at the camera.
From Mashable.com
The NFL had been seeking $1.5 million for breach of contract, but recently added another $15 million for the value of the two-minutes of screen time that M.I.A. received. That amount is based on how much advertisers had paid for spots during the game.
During a performance that featured Madonna and also included Nicki Minaj, M.I.A. gestured toward the camera at the end of a verse she performed in the song “Give Me All Your Luvin’.” The move prompted 222 FCC complaints.
