Rihanna to CBS and NFL: 'Fuck You!'

Last week, the NFL tried to cover its ass for its abysmal handling of the Ray Rice elevator tape — and its depraved indifference to domestic violence in general — by, uh, canceling a game-opening sequence that featured Rihanna. Because Rihanna is a domestic violence survivor. Okay.

It was a wildly dumb and insensitive move — playing a Rihanna song isn’t bad PR, but you know what is? Tolerating a culture of total apathy to domestic violence! Rihanna shouldn’t be effectively punished for the league’s enormous and terrible shortcomings. And RiRi agrees. She just took to Twitter to blast the NFL “penalizing” her for Rice’s crime:
