Why?

Same group of people who went apoplectic over last year's Super Bowl's halftime show because it was "too black". Some of these people claim it's because his songs are in Spanish. Ever heard of Luciano Pavarotti? He sings in Italian. No complaints about him. There are instrumental musical acts, yet they can be enjoyed by all. Previous years these same people complained about the hip-hop show. Prior to that they complained about Rhianna. I didn't know who bad Bunny was until a year ago but that's not the point. Worldwide he is extremely popular and well liked.

They tried to claim it was because Bad Bunny wasn't American and they had to be reminded being born in Puerto Rico makes you an American citizen. They also had to be reminded of previous acts that were not American

The Rolling Stones
U2
Paul McCartney
Shania Twain
Coldplay
Sting

It's the same group of people who lost their minds back in 2013 when an SB Cheerios commercial featured the first interracial couple. People lost their minds over the black father.

It's the same group of people who applauded Tim Tebow taking a knee on the field but were up in arms when done by Colin Kapernick.

These people are just plain racist. If I'm wrong, why?

I propose a clandestine change of show, where they do Springtime For Hitler, with a Trump impersonator playing Adolf. It'll be a surprise til it airs.

If anything, it's pretty funny that Speaker Johnson was complaining about this, but somehow always misses the news about outrageous things the administration is doing because he claims he doesn't really follow those developments. He's such a bad liar.

Conservative criticism aside, I still don’t understand why the NFL gave up total control of the halftime show programming to Pepsi and RocNation the way they did.
Country music has been enjoying a mainstream moment over the past 18 months and would resonate better with their audience. Northern California (hosting the Super Bowl) has always been a hotbed of modern rock, punk, alternative and other genres. IMHO, those would play better than Bad Bunny—someone I think who’d fit better with a Super Bowl in NYC or Miami.

The NFL should cancel their deal with Pepsi/RocNation.

I won't be watching the sportsball game or the halftime show, but if it pisses the fascists off, I'm 100% in support of it.

They're creating their own half-time show.

Turning Point USA is throwing its own Super Bowl halftime show, the “All-American Halftime Show,” celebrating “faith, family and freedom.” Songs are gonna be all in English.

I'm pretty sure I can give it a pass.

They totally need that woman who sang for the Bundys during the Malheur standoff.

I guess some folks are pissed that chances are slim for an old-time Country/Western ecumenically racist caucasian act to steal the half time show any time soon. Or hey, maybe if Trump bullies the right people like he's famous for, he could get Ted Nugent to spread his Stormtroopin' wings at next year's Super whoop-dee-doo.

I can't believe I only recently encountered this, but he is henceforth to be known as Ped Nugent.

There goes their dive deeper down the hole of alt-reality again. It's a real shame that the folks who're pushing this Christo-fascist White Nationalist agenda have a need to divide America that way, especially when their self-serving so-called president can only exist in his position of power if he keeps the American working class separated by their party's exploitation of racism, religion and abandonment of ethics and moral values.

Trump's efforts at keeping his flock of fools feeling threatened, victimized and mind-numbingly indifferent to his crimes and efforts to crown himself king is so amazing to observe looking at that spectacle from the outside inward. It's like watching a fully matured rabies infected hyena viciously eating itself to death.
