Quote:NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the league is not reconsidering its choice of Bad Bunny for this season's Super Bowl Halftime Show, despite political backlash and public complaints over the performer’s Spanish-only music. The league has promised that it will be a "united moment" for viewers.

Apple Music and the NFL announced on Sept. 28 that Bad Bunny would headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The announcement led to criticism from some conservative commentators and politicians, who questioned why a non-English performer who skipped the US on a recent tour was selected for the most-watched event in the United States.

“It’s carefully thought through,” Goodell said when asked about the decision, according to the Variety. “I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching… We’re confident it’s going to be a great show. He understands the platform that he’s on, and I think it’s going to be exciting and a united moment.”

Bad Bunny, whose legal name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, addressed the controversy during his appearance on Saturday Night Live. He joked that “everyone is happy” about his halftime show — “even Fox News” — before showing an edited montage making Fox News hosts appear to praise him.

He mocked the outrage about his Spanish-speaking performance. “If you didn’t understand what I just said,” he told the crowd, “you have four months to learn.”

Critics included Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. On The Benny Show, Noem said, “We’re going to enforce the law. People should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re law-abiding Americans who love this country.” She also said her agency would be “all over that place” during the game.

In response to the controversy, Turning Point USA announced an alternative called The All-American Halftime Show, which will take place at the same time as the official performance. “It’s true, Turning Point USA is thrilled to announce The All American Halftime Show,” the group wrote on X. Acts performing at the show have yet to be announced.

Bad Bunny has previously said he avoided performing in the mainland US during his 2025–2026 tour because of concerns over immigration enforcement during the Trump administration. “There was the issue that… ICE could be outside (my concert venue),” he told reporters at the time.

He has also been slammed for sitting down during “God Bless America” at Yankee Stadium.

The league expects his halftime show to draw one of the largest audiences in television history.

And there's still plenty of moronic seals that jump up and applaud them.

He's gonna show his tits.

Just have them take off the helmets and shoulder pads and play a game of the Futbol.
Amazing the idiocy of these so called top CEO's. Maybe Bud Light can be the sponsor.

They'll never figure this out. Stupid is as stupid does.

Bad Bunny

Maybe a host of Playboy bunnies and you might get me.

Might.

The ratings will tell the tale.

I have no interest in watching an obscure singer lip syncing a language I and 87% of Americans do not understand.

He's probably just going to say F*** America, F*** Trump and F*** MAGA in his own language to get past the censors. He could do that and j***off on stage for 10 minutes and the moronic seals on the left would jump up and applaud him.

Nope. She still has her job. Her principal defended her and called her a victim.

Yep. I just saw that, and was coming here to add that.

I quit watching these halftime shows many years ago. I'll watch some of the game but I won't be watching the halftime, as always.

I have never watched a halftime show. Never. I just watch the game.

But NBA basketball ruined professional sports for me. Totally
The NFL better be very careful or they’ll alienate a significant portion of their fan base. The portion with the money. They haven’t done it yet, but more of these idiotic moves and they will.

NFL makes so much money they don't care who this piss off over a short half time show.

Bad Bunny plans to use Super Bowl halftime show to 'honor queer icons,' plans to wear a dress: report

Quote:Bad Bunny is planning on wearing a dress for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, according to a report from RadarOnline citing individuals familiar with the preparations.

Sources told RadarOnline that the Puerto Rican performer intends to wear a dress during the halftime show as a tribute to queer icons, drag culture, and political resistance tied to Puerto Rican history. One stylist involved in the planning described the move as deliberate and provocative saying that Bad Bunny is intentionally trying to spark controversy. Another source said the outfit is already in production: "Let them complain. The dress is already being sewn," the source said.

Apple Music and the NFL announced on Sept. 28 that Bad Bunny would headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show at Levi’s Stadium. The announcement immediately sparked backlash from public officials in the Trump admin particularly over the artist’s use of Spanish-language music and his decision to skip US tour dates in recent years.


NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league is standing by its decision. “It’s carefully thought through,” Goodell said when asked about the decision, according to the Variety. “I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching… We’re confident it’s going to be a great show.
