Video: Bold Super Bowl Performer Shines Spotlight on Gaza and Sudan
New Orleans (Quds News Network)- A background dancer in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show made a powerful statement on Sunday. As Donald Trump attended the game—the first time a US president has done so—the performer unfurled flags of Palestine and Sudan bearing the names “Sudan” and “Gaza,” capturing global attention.

Under the stadium’s bright lights, the dancer ran across the field for about 20 seconds before security tackled him. His message, though brief, resonated far beyond the Super Dome in New Orleans.
The NFL confirmed the performer was part of a 400-member field cast but quickly distanced itself from his act. “We commend security for quickly detaining the individual,” the league said in a statement. Officials later announced he would be banned for life from all NFL stadiums.
Despite attempts to downplay the moment, the dancer’s protest sparked conversations worldwide. His defiant display brought attention to the struggles of Palestinians and Sudanese people, turning one of America’s biggest entertainment events into a stage for activism.
