The original petition to have the song "Sweet Victory" by David Glen Eisley performed at the Superbowl Halftime Show was put in place in order to pay tribute to Stephen Hillenburg, well-known cartoonist, voice actor and marine biologist, best known as the creator of long beloved children's cartoon character, Spongebob Squarepants. Hillenburg died of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (commonly refered to as ALS) on the 26th of November, 2018.

As I'm sure you have heard by now, the Superbowl LIII Halftime Show was all a setup. The NFL teased the song being played by showing a clip of Spongebob, the actual clip from the episode "Band Geeks" wherein Sweet Victory was played. The band playing the Halftime Show, Maroon 5, teased the song again with a clip from the same episode (Band Geeks) for about three seconds before the other musician performing in the show, american rapper Travis Scott, began performing his song "Sicko Mode". As I understand it, the performance ended with Maroon 5 band member Adam Levine shirtless for some bloody reason, and the song Sweet Victory was not performed at any point.

I want to be clear. I am not American. I don't care about what America calls Football, the rest of the world calls either American Football or Gridiron. This is not about Bastard Rugby, and it is not about one (epic) song being played. It was about honouring the memory of a great man who changed the world. And for a moment, it seemed as though 500,000 strong had come together to achieve such a thing, something that could not have been achieved since before Class was established. Then Travis Scott, Maroon 5 and the NFL crushed that, tore it up. It was like, ants to a magnifying glass. Now they're laughing because they got the money and the views, and the internet nerds return to their caves to wallow in sadness and whinge of injustice.

But what is to say this should be the end? Do we wait, sign another petition to have the song sung at the 2020 Superbowl, only to have that shredded before our eyes too? What I propose now will turn this injustice and at last pay tribute to not one, but four great men. A Charity Event. A game of superbowlian proportions, if possible. Again, don't care about Bastard Rugby, so I don't know the ins and outs. Players will ideally be NFL Legends such as Terry Crews and John Elway, and the song Sweet Victory would be performed by it's writer and original performer David Glen Eisley. Alongside Mr. Hillenburg, 3 other great men have passed. Professor Steven Hawking, Actor Stefàn Karl Stefànsson and Comics Legend Stan Lee. I personally feel that one song is not enough to honour all four, so I want to nominate two more songs to be performed as well, namely "Tribute" by Tenacious D and "Hallowed be thy Name" by Iron Maiden. As previously stated, this is to be a charity event, so all proceeds are to be divided evenly, and placed into 4 separate but worthy charities, each related to 1 of the 4 men this show is attributed to. The charities I would like to nominate are:

- The Stan Lee Foundation ( http://www.stanleefoundation.org/ )

- The Stephen Hawking Foundation ( https://www.stephenhawkingfoundation.org/ )

- The Cancer Research Foundation ( https://www.cancerresearchfoundation.org/ )

- The ALS Association ( http://www.alsa.org/ )

Thank you for taking the time to read my proposition, and while I know the chances are slim, I hope this can be achieved. I just want to see these men be honoured, as best we can bring honour them.
