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 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

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.

Who's Charlie Kirk

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.

Just blatant, bald faced racism. Just non stop racism from these nazi loving racists.

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

All American like Qatari air bases?

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.
