This halftime show is Awful.” Sportsnet Central host Tim Micallef posted a clip of Bad Bunny’s performance at Levi’s Stadium and wrote on X, “Bad Bunny just picked up more yards than the Patriots did in the first half.”
President Donald Trump himself took issue with Bad Bunny’s performance at the Super Bowl. “The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” Trump wrote. “It makes no sense, in an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.”
“Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World,” Trump added. “This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day.”
There are probably a lot more voices online sharing their thoughts on Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. But now that the halftime show is over, it’s time for the Patriots and Seahawks to settle who will take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl 60.
Sporting events emphasizing political and ideological attributes indicate are a gauge of the integrity of the sport and those who organize and sell it to the public. Needing to resort to circus stunt and controversy to attract attention and viewership places on full display the raw corruption and manipulation employed for propaganda’s sake. Propaganda is not designed to make people stupid, it is instead designed for stupid people. That means there are only two kinds of people who will approve of what the NFL has become – those who profit or depend on the propaganda materially or those are are stupid enough to watch and not question why.
