Rihanna is not a fan of CBS pulling her song last week

Rihanna apparently does not love the way CBS lies.
The pop singer said this morning on Twitter that she did not appreciate the league pulling her song “Run This Town” from last week’s pregame show.
“CBS you pulled my song last week, now you wanna slide it back in this Thursday? NO, F— you! Y’all are sad for penalizing me for this,” she wrote.
Then she followed with “The audacity…”
Rihanna has something in common with Janay Rice, in that she was the victim of a high-profile domestic violence case.
That, coupled with the need to give the opening week broadcast a more serious tone, led CBS to pull the musical number.
Apparently, they won’t be going back to it.

This is the part of the story where I’d make a pop culture reference about Rihanna using one of her song titles.
But I did that already once today, so I’m pretty much out of Rihanna material.
After the pop singer told the NFL “F— you,” on Twitter this morning, the league has returned the favor.
A CBS spokesman said any plans to re-introduce her song “Run This Town” to their Thursday Night Football open had changed, and 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.”
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.
She apparently woke up this morning and realized she didn’t like it, so we await her next reaction.
