2003 was the last time we got the pleasure of watching a country artist perform at the Super Bowl Half Time Show. 2003!

In current times, we've seen The Chicks, Luke Bryan and Eric Church perform the National Anthem, but it has almost been twenty years since we've seen a country artist take the main stage and put on a show. 

A show.. AN ACTUAL SHOW! Not just walking around stage spitting out some meaningless words, parading around in barely there underwear or trying to use this as an opportunity to make a political statement, but using the music to tell a story and give the audience a memorable experience. 

Keep in mind, the ratings continue to fall and that's because the wrong artists continue to be chosen, while country artists continue to gain popularity. 

In conclusion, the NFL is missing a MAJOR opportunity to gain back a significant audience that it continues to push away.. COUNTRY MUSIC FANS. A country artist like Garth Brooks, Eric Church or Luke Combs (Just to name a few) deserves the right to share their music with an audience that has been missing out for almost twenty years.
