Sure bro, you may be one of them, but to act like a good portion of people arent upset because hes brown is....wait for it.....disingenuous bullshite.

You can at least acknowledge it and come across less ignorant that what you already are.

So your position is that in 2026 the biggest beef about this is not that it's a Latin artist speaking 100% spanish.


It's that he is Hispanic.

I don't think so.

It's got to be nauseating doing this every single day.

"Yea I couldn't understand his halftime performance because it was all in Spanish, but that wasn't my issue. It was the fact that he's brown."

Pivot all you want. I dont care anymore.

Bad Bunny is performing

Oh he doesnt speak my language

Yeah, but hes the number one artist in the world

Oh ok. I'll check it out just to see what hes all about. No big deal

Thats it. Thats all that really needs to be said, instead weve got pages and pages and multiple threads of pearl clutching idiots pivoting to the most asinine excuses as to why this "shouldn't be a halftime performer"

And yeah she may do it one year but she may already be too popular, which means she'd do it in 10-15 years when they are nostalgia farming Gen Z content


Sabrina Carpenter already too popular for the Super Bowl? I rarely disagree with you but there's a time for everything I guess. I feel like she's got a few years and hits to go before she has the cultural significance to make sense at the Super Bowl.

Is catering to Jose in Columbia better than your core U.S. audience?


Better? Naw. More important to the NFLs global outreach targets than an intrenched US audience? Absolutely.

It's the NATIONAL Football League Super Bowl played in AMERICA and he's not even from the United STATES, but a territory.

Heaven forbid you want a traditional American citizen from mainland USA with songs in English to do the halftime show.

Real professional football isn't played anywhere else in the world. The NFL's dumb attempts to cater American football to the rest of the world are dumb. The players hate traveling overseas for those games. It's a huge burden.

The supposed backlash against a freaking halftime show has catapulted bad Bunny to be known by everyone.

Pretty impressive really

I could theoretically see a pop country adjacent act like Post Malone do it and have a country song with those guys as secondary roles for a song.

A Post Malone show would do big numbers.

Ah yes. I remember when people refused to watch Whitney Houston’s halftime show because she was brown. I think you’re definitely on to something there.

I will be honest. I have never even heard anything from bad bunny. Never searched it out. I have been well aware of all the other recent artist.



I kind of find it impossible that people have never heard anything from him.

He is the most streamed artist in the world I think 4 of the last 5 years. Yes it is in spanish and having it as an American SB halftime is not ideal, but in some ways this would be as outrageous as people not knowing who LeBron James is in Germany

I guess my issue is that the Super Bowl is a great American institution.
Its being hijacked by liberal leftists, woke anti-Americans and African American social justice warriors.

That said, Ill watch as I always do
