Kid Rock is a terrible musician, let’s be completely honest. The fact that he is still around is baffling, but hey, there are apparently people that still enjoy his tunes for some reason. And the NHL thinks there are enough fans of his to officially name him a performer at this year’s NHL All-Star game.
On Tuesday, the NHL announced that the 47-year-old would headline its All-Star Game festivities in Tampa Bay, and boy, fans aren’t happy that Rock, who may run for US Senate and who is a complete racist, will be taking his dirty tank-top to the ice.
Just take a look at some of the reactions below:
The NHL selecting Kid Rock to preform at the All Star Game shows how laughably out of touch the league is.

Honestly even a random homeless guitarist at a subway station would be way better than kid rock. And now I feel bad for random homeless guitarists for lumping them in the same sentence as kid rock.

Kid Rock, noted racist, performs at event in which one of the teams is captained by the NHL’s only ever minority superstar, who gets pelted with racist tweets every time he wins a playoff series.
Gee, why can’t the NHL expand its viewership?

The NHL is your grandma buying you a BlackBerry because she heard that’s what “the kids are using” these days. If the BlackBerry was racist.

The NHL clearly has a different definition of entertainment.

Leave that dirtbag in Michigan. Get some quality Florida bands like Deicide or Torche.
