lol in that i agree
I hate reggaeton
These were the lyrics during the halftime show? If so, Goodell should be forced to resign.
No it isn't.
Equally as fascinating are the people going out of their way to defend him
Never heard of him until Super Bowl, but looks like someone that is into satanic shit and his lyrics are incredibly disgusting and vulgar
Guy who should never have been selected, for multiple reasons, goes on, uses really bad language, but not in English, and you think the "hate" is fascinating? How so? It seems that any "hate" would be common sense, expected, and boring.
Agree with the above.
In the end though. NFL don't care and will carry on as any publicity is good publicity I guess.
The numbers took a pretty good hit, but they've spun that, too, and the media will say what the NFL tells it to.
well they had nearly 10 million viewer drop off before half time, so not sure how that is good publicity when the goal is to have as many eyeballs watching as humanly possible
Calling the backlash “common sense” assumes American culture is still English-only and culturally frozen. It isn’t.
Bad Bunny is one of the most streamed artists in the world. If someone of that scale “should never have been selected,” the issue isn’t qualifications, it’s discomfort with who gets to represent the stage.
And the “bad language, just not in English” comment? That’s telling. Profanity has been part of halftime shows for decades. What feels different isn’t morality — it’s control. When the language isn’t English, some viewers lose interpretive dominance. That discomfort gets reframed as "standards slipping."
The Super Bowl is a global commercial spectacle. The NFL isn’t programming for one demographic. It’s programming for a global audience. Latino viewers. Younger viewers. International markets. That’s business.
So yeah — the hate is fascinating. Not because people disliked the performance. That’s normal.
It’s fascinating because it shows how quickly cultural change feels like decline to the people who used to sit at the center.
And when the center shifts, the noise always follows. And that’s never boring. LOL
It assumes no such thing. The reality is that the country is still primarily English speaking. That's not an assumption. The reality is that the SB is supposedly "family friendly". That's not an assumption.
Fuck you.
Take your fucking islamo-marxist fucking filth to the political forum.
The Left Ruins Everything. EVERYTHING.
Aaannd you didn't...
But “mostly English-speaking” doesn’t mean “only English belongs on the halftime stage” — especially for a global broadcast with millions of Latino viewers in the U.S.
And “family friendly”? Please. We’ve had years of suggestive performances — hello, wardrobe malfunction? That standard hasn’t exactly been pristine.
That’s why the reaction is interesting.
The line suddenly feels stricter when the language isn’t English.
Yeah, it actually does. And that's particularly true since the percentage of "native" English speakers who speak other languages is much lower than speakers with a different native tongue that can speak English.
And the wardrobe malfunction brought down the wrath of the FCC and group after group after group. Your argument actually makes my point.
To repeat: The reaction isn't interesting. It's common sense and boring.
“Most Americans speak English” doesn’t logically equal “the halftime show must be in English.” That’s a preference, not a rule.
The Super Bowl is a global broadcast with millions of bilingual and Spanish-dominant viewers in the U.S. The NFL markets internationally by design. That’s business.
And yes, the wardrobe malfunction triggered outrage — but the halftime show kept pushing cultural edges long after. So citing that doesn’t prove a stable “family friendly” standard. It proves backlash has always been part of the spectacle.
What’s interesting is how quickly a Spanish-language performance gets framed as out of bounds in a way English-language boundary-pushing often doesn’t.
If you find that boring, fine. But dismissing it as “common sense” doesn’t make it neutral. It just makes the assumption invisible.
