Maroon 5 has been chosen to headline halftime show for Super Bowl LIII, and this has caused a bit of a rumble.
It’s not that folks are in disdain of Maroon 5, not at all. The problem here is that Maroon 5 was selected over a long list of ATLiens that could have just as well been chosen.
The decision has naturally caused Twitter to go in a frenzy. Most responses from team FILA are in opposition of the move;
