The man who pulled out a Sudanese and Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar's halftime show said he felt compelled to use his moment at the Super Bowl to "highlight the human suffering."

The league said the individual was part of the 400-member field cast and "hid the item on his person and unveiled it late in the show."

The protester who waved a flag expressing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and Sudanese people during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday has been released without charges after police detained him but could not determine any charges to press against him.
