No Protestors Showed Up To Anti-Beyoncé Demonstration

Not a single lady — or any other anti-Beyoncé demonstrator — turned out Tuesday for a promised protest against the chart-topping singer outside NFL headquarters.

A crowd backing Queen Bey instead buzzed outside the Park Ave. building, offering their support of Beyoncé for her controversial Super Bowl halftime show.

Critics, including NYPD detective union head Michael Palladino and ex-mayor Rudolph Giuliani, ripped Beyoncé's provocative Feb. 7 performance of her new song “Formation.”

She also raised a fist in a black power gesture reminiscent of the 1968 Olympic protest by black American athletes Tommy Smith and John Carlos.


Beyoncé critics had promised a protest outside the league’s offices, but none turned out on a rainy Midtown morning.





The Beyoncé backers were out in vocal force, holding signs in a show of support.


One demonstrator held a poster listing the name of 16 black women who died in police-related incidents. “Say Her Name,” read the message atop the sign, playing off the hit Destiny’s Child single.

“Why are people afraid of black pride?” asked a handwritten question on a simple black and white sign held by another woman. A third protester, dressed in a leather Panthers-style jacket, held a sign announcing, “End police brutality and murder!”





The promised twin demonstrations were set for the same day that tickets went on sale for the North American leg of Beyoncé's upcoming world tour.
