She probably isn't even worth $16million. The whole thing is crazy. I can occasionally hear full profanity on live games. Seeing a woman's finger? OMG!!! Stone Cold can flip the bird and MIA can't? That's a double standard there.

NFL attorneys originally asked for $1.5 million last fall during arbitration with the performer. They say the new monetary amount is based on the alleged damages inflicted on the league, as well as the exposure M.I.A. received from the performance.

There we have the real reason.

They are afraid that external controversies will divert the eyes of the people from their own honest homemade controversies. Afraid that they are losing their title of "worst collection of rolemodels" to the music industry.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
