The Symbolism:
Beyond the drama, there was deep symbolism throughout the performance:
Samuel L. Jackson playing Uncle Sam delivered lines that seemed to critique the entertainment industry and American society:
“Salutations! It’s your uncle, Sam, and this is the great American game!”

Comments
“Play the game.”
“Scorekeeper, deduct one life.”
These lines were strategically placed:
They played after Kendrick’s West Coast rap songs. After the lighter, pop songs with SZA, Uncle Sam encouraged the audience:
Right before Not Like Us, he challenged Kendrick: “Are you really about to do it?”—then, the song dropped, and the game was over.
The Ironic Message? The performance proved the very point it was making in real time
"Y’all picked the right time but the wrong guy for this one." 🎤
