Rihanna Tells CBS “F*ck You”

rihannaLast week, CBS pulled Rihanna’s musical open with Jay-Z for Thursday Night Football because the NFL thought the tone wasn’t right with the league being caught in the middle of the Ray Rice domestic abuse controversy. Speculation was that it was because of Rihanna being a victim of abuse. The network planned on returning to the original plan to use Rihanna’s song “Run This Town” for TNF’s open, but now that’s changed.

CBS will not be using the song at all this season after Rihanna sent out a tweet saying “Fuck you” to the network. After the tweet went out, CBS put out their own statement saying it was dropping her song and that CBS “is moving in a different direction with some elements” of its broadcast, including ”using our newly created ‘Thursday Night Football’ theme music to open our game broadcast.”

Right now, Adrian Peterson has a better chance of opening CBS football by singing “The Greatest Love of All” and how the children are the future than Rihanna does of ever getting back on the network.
