The NFL and Beyonce are being criticized on the back of the latter’s halftime performance during the Christmas Day showdown between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens.

The fixture, streamed exclusively on Netflix, saw the Ravens pick up a convincing 31-2 victory.

Beyonce gave the crowd quite the performance at halftime but sparked some controversy after making a gun gesture with her fingers.

Fans Wanted Fines And Flags For Beyonce

Fans thought it strange that Beyonce could bust out the guns while NFL players get fined for it. They thought she should have at least gotten flagged.

“Where is the flag on Beyoncé for the finger guns?!?!” someone asked.

“Queen Bey’s tone-deaf finger gun display at Netflix’s Christmas game highlights celebrity privilege, while NFL players get fined for basic touchdown celebrations,” a user chimed in.

“Would just like to note that Beyoncé is doing the double gun gesture which is banned in the NFL and a 15 yard penalty,” someone else added.

“Xavier worthy gets a 15 yard penalty for lifting his shirt (pretending he has a gun in his belt) but Beyoncé can fake shoot at halftime? “Bang” Does the NFL fine her?” a fan asked.

Of course, the league couldn’t have known the artist would perform such a gesture and probably didn’t brief her accordingly. But she could well afford to pay any fine thrown at her if there were any possibility.

Beyonce Has Been Taking On Criticism From Elsewhere Heading Into The End Of The Year

Beyonce has come under fire elsewhere in recent months, given the scrutiny now being afforded to celebrities with close ties to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the wake of his arrest.

Her husband, Shawn ‘Jay-Z’ Carter, was recently named in a lawsuit alleging the rape of a 13-year-old girl. The rapper has denied the allegations and gone on the offensive.

Beyonce herself has been accused of possibly taking part in questionable activity involving children, with former NFL star Larry Johnson claiming he heard her saying something very offputting to a child at a party.

The artist’s newest album, “Cowboy Carter,” has been a source of controversy as well. While it denotes her Texas heritage, it has split the opinion as some have praised her creativity while others feel like it’s overly sexualized.
