He’s an American citizen. Like … There’s not even a way to plausibly deny that this is solely because he is brownish and speaks Spanish.
Laugh in the face of anyone who praises it
House Speaker Mike Johnson said booking Bad Bunny was “a terrible decision,” suggesting that Lee Greenwood would attract a “broader audience,” despite the 1980s country icon boasting fewer than 500,000 Spotify listeners compared with Bad Bunny’s 80 million.
I kinda wish this would happen. It’d go down as the most disappointing Superb Owl half time show in history.
Lol I am a Raiders season ticket holder, and since they moved to Vegas, the halftime shows have been superb. I’ve seen Lil Jon twice, Sublime with Rome, Ice Cube, and I feel like I’m missing a couple, but they have been for the most part, great. Lee Greenwood did one once, and first of all, I had to Google just to see who tf he was, then he was God awful. Out of pitch and just sounded like he was too old to still be performing. He played the proud to be uh 'murican song and finally fucked off. I hope Chudpoint USA hires this moron for their unwoke halftime show. It’ll be a disaster.
Just blatant, bald faced racism. Just non stop racism from these nazi loving racists.
Maybe I missed something along the way but what in the ever loving fuck is up with this obsession over Lee Greenwood from the right? He is not a generational talent and has absolutely 0 appeal to a majority of people.

They have almost nobody else to choose from. The vast majority of artists lean left (or at minimum lean away from the rightwingnuts).
The RW is not exactly known for their great taste in…well, anything.
I’ve never heard of them.
That show is going to be the worst show ever
Star War Christmas Special look out!
All American like Qatari air bases?
In Idaho.
Why did Idaho matter here? Not from America so I can’t understand why that particular state matters?
What’s the complaint? That it’s not an American performing?
The Who performed at the Superbowl before. They’re not American…
EDIT: Yes, I know he’s American. I’m trying to understand what these misinformed people are claiming to be upset about. They’re not even consistent, which suggests that they’re BSing about their reason.
He is American. I still laugh at who the Squeaker of the House threw out there as a better alternative…Lee Greenwood, which I had to look up, because I never heard of him. Unlike Bad Bunny - I don’t pay that much attention to pop music, but even I know who he is…
From another reply:
Yeah, I know. I should’ve made it more clear that I was attempting to get into their misinformed heads.
They don’t know that he’s American, but they’re not even consistent. There have been non-American performances at the Superbowl before, so I don’t even know what the complaint is supposed to be.
He’s Puerto Rican…
Yeah, I know. I should’ve made it more clear that I was attempting to get into their misinformed heads.

The Seven Mountain Mandate people sure are delicate little flowers, aren’t they?
Dominionists, is another way to refer to them.
I find it’s helpful to point out their supporting structures. They always go on about shadowy leftist groups like “antifa” that don’t even have a freaking website, never mind any founders, any funding, any meetings, anyone in the group with any kind of platform or power or organization, etc…meanwhile, these assholes have things like Project 2025, ALEC, and the Seven Mountains Mandate stuff…

I can’t wait. Whenever fascists try to be cool they look hilarious
Pessimistic take: Given how much weird involvement presidents have always historically had with the Superbowl, I honestly just kind of assumed the Bad Bunny as “such a controversial pick” was intentionally meant to stir shit up for marketing purposes.
It provides the left with a feeling of control by knowing that people that buy into the outrage (see the recent cracker barrel controversy, that was mainly bot driven marketing) are triggered. Tons of people who don’t give a shit about football (or even Bad Bunny) will now make a point to at least watch the half time show for the chance to see the right wing outrage machine being owned on a national stage.
Everybody who buys into the “this is a disgrace and I am personally offended and outraged” machine, (also more likely to be watching bc they care about football) can tune into the TPUSA half time show, and feel their own little slice of control. There’s even a chance many of the sponsors of the TPUSA half time show will be part of a parent conglomerate that also owns the sponsors of the Superbowl halftime show.
Create a controversy and market to both sides of the controversy. Americans watch and spend money to support “their side,” but it turns out that both sides are owned by the same people. Example, Dove might sponsor the Superbowl while Axe Body Spray will sponsor the TPUSA show. Unilever still makes money regardless.
Let them in or let them out. I’m sick and tired of this halfway situation with Puerto Rico. Personally I’m down for letting them be a state, it’s something Trump could do that has him remembered positively that no Democrat could manage. But we need to authorize them to choose statehood or nationhood.
I also feel that way about the pacific territories but that’s more difficult as they’re tiny and far apart with few people.
Eta: if made a state Puerto Rico would be the 33rd largest, between Iowa and Arkansas. DC would be the 3rd smallest if made a state having more people than Vermont or Wyoming.
Arguably Wyoming probably shouldn’t have been a state and should’ve just been added to neighboring states, whereas Vermont was the first state to be added and fought in the revolutionary war as their own country, so their small population doesn’t really count against them
But yeah, more united states citizens live in Puerto Rico than in both Dakotas and Hawaii combined (or Kansas if you feel those are too small), and it wouldn’t be the first state to speak a non English language, looking at Louisiana and the entire Southwest
Alternative halftime shows are just a way for broadcasters to clawback viewers and increase ad rates during a period where everyone’s eyes are on another channel.
This will be to Fox and local Sinclair affiliates what the Butt Bowl was to MTV, or the Puppy Bowl was to Discovery.
The Poopy Bowl
I don’t think ol’ leaky neck owns anything anymore.
I won’t be watching either of them.
Why do they have a foreigner performing at the Superbowl halftime show? Why not get a real American artist like Immortal Technique?
