This is the part of the story where I’d make a pop culture reference about Rihanna using one of her song titles.
But I did that already once today, so I’m pretty much out of Rihanna material.
After the pop singer told the NFL “F--- you,” on Twitter this morning, the league has returned the favor.
A CBS spokesman said any plans to re-introduce her song “Run This Town” to their Thursday Night Football open had changed, and she won’t be involved in any further broadcasts.
“Beginning this Thursday, we will be moving in a different direction with some elements of our Thursday Night Football open,” CBS senior vice president of communications Jen Sabatelle said, via USA Today. “We will be using our newly created Thursday Night Football theme music to open our game broadcast.”
The league pulled the song of the famous domestic violence victim as part of an effort to adopt a more serious tone to the Ravens-Steelers pre-game in light of the Ray Rice news of the week.
She apparently woke up this morning and realized she didn’t like it, so we await her next reaction.
