It was definitely better than the previous version for sure.. Still prefer the original, the NFL just needs to stop pretending they care about player safety.

Not a problem at all; links are posted in more than one thread from time to time because of the significance they could have for both the league in general & the Patriots or Bills or Jete in particular... Didn't mean to sound snarky or anything; it wasn't a brilliant, details-driven reason that I gave anyway...

More details have emerged about some NFL team owners’ unhappiness with the decision to feature Bad Bunny in the Super Bowl 60 halftime show.
Despite Bad Bunny’s status as one of the world’s most beloved music stars, the NFL has received plenty of criticism for choosing him as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show. President Donald Trump is among the notable critics, even stating that he won’t attend this year’s Super Bowl.
Unhappy with the NFL’s choice, Turning Point USA announced its plans for an alternative Super Bowl halftime show back in October. It remains to be seen who will perform in the show organized by the conservative nonprofit organization.
On Friday, ESPN’s Kalyn Kahler published a report detailing concerns from NFL owners about the halftime show decision. Specifically, one owner was worried that it could jeopardize their equity deal with ESPN:

Despite plenty of angry calls and the aforementioned concerns from NFL owners, Roger Goodell has stayed firm on the Bad Bunny decision. In October, Goodell said the following on their halftime show headline performer, per Kahler:
Since money and ratings are all that matter to most NFL owners? It would be best to wait and see the final viewership numbers for the Super Bowl 60 halftime show.

The owner apparently went up to Commissioner Roger Goodell to tell him that, “he should’ve thought through that better.” Kahler was also told by one NFL executive that owners were against the halftime show decision. The reason is that “many were unfamiliar with” the Grammy Award-winning singer.
Roger Goodell Has Passionately Defended The Decision
Despite plenty of angry calls and the aforementioned concerns from NFL owners, Roger Goodell has stayed firm on the Bad Bunny decision. In October, Goodell said the following on their halftime show headline performer, per Kahler:
Don’t forget how much backlash the NFL received when Kendrick Lamar was named the Super Bowl 59 halftime show headliner. And guess what? At 133.5 million viewers, it was the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history.

The NFL has started a new issue just days before the Super Bowl. The league named social media creator Dhar Mann as its first-ever Chief Kindness Officer. The decision quickly faced criticism. Many fans questioned the choice after learning about his past fraud conviction.
The NFL says it wants Mann to promote kindness and good sportsmanship around the Super Bowl. Super Bowl LX will take place next week in Santa Clara, California. The game will feature the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.
The league praised Mann as a positive and influential storyteller. It said his videos help people feel understood and connected. Mann responded by saying he is honored and excited to take on the role.
However, critics pointed to his legal past. In 2014, Mann pleaded no contest to five felony fraud charges. Prosecutors said he took city grant money meant for building improvements in Oakland. The court gave him five years of probation and ordered him to repay $44,399.
The NFL mentioned that Mann had setbacks in his past but did not share details about the conviction. That lack of detail led to more backlash on social media.
Controversial Past Meets New NFL Role
Mann built his early career in the marijuana business. He earned the nickname ganjapreneur. At the time of his legal troubles, he ran a real estate company and a luxury car rental firm. He also served as CEO of weGrow, a business known as the Walmart of Weed.
Reports from that period described bitter legal fights with business partners. Mann later paid his fines and finished probation early.
Today, he runs Dhar Mann Studios. The company produces short motivational videos for social media. His YouTube channel boasts more than 26 million subscribers. His videos have reached over 100 billion views across platforms.
Forbes recently ranked him No. 2 on its list of top creators for 2025. The magazine estimated his yearly earnings at $56 million.
Not all attention around his company stays positive. In 2023, some actors who worked for Dhar Mann Studios staged protests. They claimed the company underpaid them and treated them unfairly.
Mann pushed back hard. He said, “These protestors represent a small percentage of the thousands of actors we have and do not represent the views of all actors.”
He also added, “The protestors have said that I won’t meet with actors and did not show up for a planned meeting. That’s not true.” Moreover, he addressed “the misinformation being spread by protestors that we don’t pay our actors. This is 100 per cent not true.”
Now the NFL hopes his message reaches football fans. Supporters say his life story shows growth and change. Critics argue the league picked the wrong person to represent kindness.
