4:47Now PlayingNo one showed up to the anti-Beyoncé protest that was planned for the NFL headquarters in New York City. We have a number of tweets showing just how many people showed up. It turns out that the anti-Beyoncé protestors didn’t show up at all, but the counter protestors did show up. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
What would get you motivated enough to get out and protest? Let us know in the comments below.

A whole bunch of Twitter eggs took offense with Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime performance of “Formation,” which used imagery inspired by the Black Panthers. It made excellent copy for the insatiable content mill which we all must feed—it’s good and healthy to make fun of stupid people—but it didn’t have staying power. If only there was a way to drag the controversy out for another week? Enter today’s non-existent protest, which for the purposes of metaoutrage, is every bit as good as a real protest.
A few days after the game, an event popped up on Eventbrite, scheduled for 8 a.m. today outside NFL headquarters in New York.
