Rihanna performed in Apple Music’s Super Bowl Halftime show, which averaged 118.7 million viewers.
In the AFL – get this, while they may wear really tight shorts, which is why many young Pacific Island boys don’t play AFL footy, the AFL released its Total Player Payment for 2022 yesterday, revealing the average wage across the 659 contracted AFL players had jumped to A$406,000.
