CBS changed a portion of its programming package for today’s Thursday Night Football broadcast (September 11) of the game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers in part because of the inclusion of Jay Z’s “Run This Town,” according to ABC News.
Rihanna, who along with Kanye West appeared on Jay Z’s “Run This Town,” was a victim of domestic abuse. The singer was assaulted in 2009 by then-boyfriend Chris Brown.
Video surfaced Monday (September 8) of then-Ravens running back Ray Rice striking and knocking unconscious his then-fiance. Rice, who was serving a two-game NFL suspension, was released by the Ravens and then banned indefinitely from the NFL Monday.
CBS had announced that “Run This Town” was to be included as part of the opening sequence for each of its 2014 NFL broadcasts of Thursday Night Football. The sequence also features narration from actor Don Cheadle.
CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said that Rihanna being a victim of domestic abuse was a reason the network removed the sequence, though it was “not the overriding one,” according to the ABC story.

Well that seems backwards. They’re not gonna include a song featuring a victim of domestic abuse because of a domestic abuse scandal that broke out?
real fuckin talk
yup> It’s obvious that NFL is run by old and out of touch men and that NEEDS to change. But something tells me it will take a loss of a lawsuit worth BILLIONS of $$$ for these arrogant to give in and come to this century. $$$ is what they worship. They don’t give a fuck about what’s right or wrong.
Y’all don’t know how to think critically huh? The one and only reason they took it out was so people wouldn’t constantly be of the Ray rice because the first thing to pop up in a average persons mind when they see or hear RiRi is Domestic violence which will in turn constantly remind NFL viewers on their perception of how horribly the NFL handled the Ray Ray situation
WTF? Rihanna went back to that nigga after she got her face all fucked up.
The world needs to realize these bitches are just as fucked up as the men
WTF.. very stupid..
they didn’t have a problem using it before knowing she was a victim before, but now it’s a problem… smh
Im starting to wonder if the NFL really does have something against women.
SMH
Zero use for Jay or Rhianna but the NFL is mothrerfucking evil. Scumbag ass cracks and even if black guys are getting $$$ playing for them, they’re still hypocritical creeps. Janet Jackon, Rhi etc.
Motherfuck them in their drug addict concussion loving ass.
You gonna cry now???? Need a kleenex???
Fuck you and your fake women’s martyr ass. Women will always and forever be beneath Men.
