A group in support of Beyonce’s Super Bowl halftime performance is growing outside NFL headquarters in Manhattan, but a demonstration of protesters who were offended by the show doesn’t appear to have started.
The dueling rallies were both set to begin at 8 a.m. Tuesday, but so far, there is still no an anti-Beyonce protest, WCBS 880’s Alex Silverman reported.

The group Proud of the Blues was asking people offended by the performance to stand together at NFL headquarters wearing as much blue as possible to show their support for police, CBS2’s Diane Macedo reported.
