Thank you, Turning Point USA, for an alternative halftime show celebrating faith, family, and freedom. Special thanks to the sponsors who helped make this patriotic show possible! Millions of Americans appreciated the featured performances by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. Robert Ritchie (aka Kid Rock) sang the final song “Till You Can’t.” Ritchie added his own verse emphasizing the importance of finding faith and not waiting to follow Jesus. A heartfelt tribute to Charlie Kirk ended the show.

In contrast, the Super Bowl was no different than in years past with the inclusion of inappropriate commercials and halftime presentation – all airing while families across the U.S. watched. Both are reasons why some choose not to watch. Though fewer inappropriate ads are now included, it was a toss-up on which ad was the most offensive this year.

One commercial that stood out was the State Farm ad “Stop Livin’ on a Prayer.” The advertisement starred actors Danny McBride, Keegan-Michael Key, and actress Hailee Steinfeld, along with the scantily clad girl-group KATSEYE dancing provocatively. Jon Bon Jovi and “Jake from State Farm” were also featured, encouraging viewers to stop livin’ on a prayer.

State Farm needs to know that vulgar and offensive advertising is never appropriate!

Thankfully, 1MM has seen a positive change in Super Bowl advertising over the past several years. Even though we still see room for improvement, 1MM believes our voices are being heard.

Your efforts have helped make a difference for families across the country!

If you agree that State Farm’s marketing campaign is inappropriate, please sign our petition urging the company to cancel its “Stop Livin’ on a Prayer” commercial immediately. Don’t forget to share this with your family and friends!
