Was the performance blasphemous?
J Hamm said she stopped watching the BET Awards because of how they had changed, and S Johns said Franklin had betrayed his faith. He compared the performance to a Dallas Cowboys fan singing the praise of his team while wearing Wasdhington Commander gear.
According to G Pendleton, Franklin is supposed to be preaching the dangers of hell and his choir singing the praises of the Almighty. She said instead, on Sunday night, they were really giving their praise to the other team.
