Keeping up the proud tradition of hating Puerto Rico.
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.
He's fucking American, I genuinely don't even understand their issue with him is. I get that it's just racism but how do they rationalise it without admitting its just racism? What are their talking points because it makes no sense
they are racist...
I totally get that but usually they have some talking point to avoid directly admitting that
I literally don't think that the raciats understandthat Bad Bunny is American.
I'm not even American and even I know Puerto Rico is an American territory 😭

This is just the mask-off, "We don't care that he's a US citizen...he's not white", kind of racism. They aren't even pretending that there's more to it at this point.

so is American Bad Bunny performing that one too?
Probably Kid Rock playing his greatest hits from his hit album "Bad Reputation".
That song with the "Let's Go Brandon" chant is going to age like Hitler Youth anthems.

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.
Who the fuck is Lee Greenwood?
He sang the "Proud to be an American" song, which is played at pretty much every 4th of July or other vaguely patriotic event in the south at least. But I can't name one other song he sang, and I don't see any reason at all to be proud of the USA right now.
Didn't he re-write the lyrics for a bunch of different countries?
[edit] - maybe it was just Canada.
Music for people who hate music.

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
Just blatant, bald faced racism. Just non stop racism from these nazi loving racists.
That show is going to be the worst show ever
Agreed. At least it will be unintentionally funny.

Bad Bunny is not All American? That is news to me.
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.
The complaint is that he's brown and speaks another language.
I wish they would just admit it. If you have to lie about what's upsetting you, you should realize your reasoning for being upset is probably BS.
I'm pretty sure they think they are annoying it because that's what they think "not American" is. Same reason why they didn't give a fuck when white Europeans with songs in English were there.
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.
