The Federal Communications Commission received over 100 complaints after the big game, many related to pop and R&B singer Rihanna's performance. Some viewers claiming the show was "overtly sexual" in nature, TMZ reported.
Others believed some of the dance moves "were patently offensive and completely inappropriate for children."
