Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's why I said stretch. He could have been asked to leave immediately, then charged with trespass for not leaving fast enough or something.
Technically, authorization to be on a property can be explicitly conditional, and intentional violation of those conditions can amount to trespass. If they had expressly forbidden the performers from political expression, protestation, etc. as part of their contract or notice was given as part of their being allowed on the field, then they could be charged with trespass for breaking the conditions upon which they were allowed on the field. But only if those conditions were made clear before hand and the performer intentionally violated those conditions.
That's not how most state trespassing laws are written. You typically can't wrap up trespassing in a contract like that.
Laws do differ state to state. Trespass may be more or less restrictive in different places. In Louisiana where this took place, the trespass law reads, in part...
This does not require that the person be given direct notice that they are no longer authorized or had their permission revoked before they are required to leave like some states may require. The only requirement is that they no longer have authorization (expressed, legal or implied). If conditionals for authorization were given and you knowingly break those conditions, you no longer have express or implied authorization. That is trespass.
Again, all this is hypothetical. I'm not saying that these conditions were expressly given by the NFL or anyone else involved with the Super Bowl or half time show. I'm just say that there is the realm of possibility where they could have been, and in that case, the moment he violated those conditions, it would be trespass.
No.
He was allowed on the property, and that presumes he was intended to be there. If at some point they were told they were trespassing, then they need to leave. There is no such thing as a "conditional trespass" in US law after you're already there.
This will fall apart in court if it's a trespass charge.
Oh also...

Let me retort with an actually salvageable communication of those laws by a reputable institution: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/trespass
Not the first paragraph.
That's obviously an under representation of what trespass is. Even your original statement shows that. It's not just entering property without permission. As you said you can have permission to enter, then have said permission revoked and be asked to leave and THEN be trespassing if you remain without permission. You can also be trespassing if you enter a property with intent to take actions that are clearly unwanted/ unsanctioned by the owner (such as vandalism, dumping waste, putting on a concert, etc.) Your source has clearly not covered all the bases.
If i put a no solicitation sign on my property and solicitors walk past that to come knock on my door, that's trespass. If i put up a no fishing sign on my pond, and you come and fish, you're trespassing. Just because I may otherwise welcome the neighbors to come hang out and swim in my pond, doesn't mean you can do what you want when I've expressly forbidden it on my property. Your allowance on my property is conditional and intentionally violating those conditions means you are no longer welcome and you're aware of it. Passive notice is still notice. Same way with no trespassing signs or locked gates.
Yeah, that is actually trespassing if you're giving notice. If you invite someone onto your property, then call the cops because they are trespassing, YOU will be in the wrong.
In the example I gave that you disagreed with, they would have given them notice. They would have said something like, "no protests, no political stunts, etc." I'm not saying that they did say that. I'm saying that IF someone was given those as conditions for entry, hypothetically, and then violated them, then they would be trespassing. Telling someone you can perform on my property as long as you don't do X is the same as having a sign that says "you can swim in my pond but no fishing"
