In front of some 110 million viewers on NBC and uncounted others online, British singer M.I.A. flipped the bird and appeared to sing, “I don’t give a [expletive]” at one point, though it was hard to hear her clearly. Both NBC and the NFL apologized.
The NFL and NBC announced Sunday during the Detroit-New Orleans game that the Grammy Award-winning singer will highlight the show at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Feb. 5.
