Rihanna may think she runs this town, but after the pop singer told the NFL “F*** you,” on Twitter, the league is now showing who’s boss.
A CBS spokesman nixed any plan to reintroduce her song “Run This Town” to their Thursday Night Football open, adding 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.” source
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.
