A commemoration and the half-time show we are talking about, are also two different things, as the latter contained no element of endorsement.

Let's play a scenario:

Say the US would not have stepped in the war in Europe in the 1940s. Say also, Germany would somehow made it through the war and would still be a fascist dictatorship today. Many US companies moved their production to Germany. A major part of the items available in your shops are made in Nazi Germany, with semi-slave labor. The official US policy is that bringing capitalism into Germany would somehow magically also bring more democracy.

A HS band does a show, called Berlin 1933, where they sport the swastika in a historic connotation.

What would be the bigger problem to you, given that you are not too fond of nazism, and what would be a storm in a waterglass?
