Super Bowl halftime show

[Seattle or Bust]

Do you really think he was iced because he opposes policies? I'd suspect there are thousands in that category! I'd say it was because of his popularity. I think he was the most streamed artist in the world in 2025. And I hear all the time that the NFL is trying to get more of a global presence, especially in Latin America.

That's all fine and dandy, but why would they pick someone that they knew would turn off a lot of people? I mean, you pick Usher, just about everyone likes that. You pick Rhiannon, just about everyone likes that. You pick latinas J-Lo and Shakira, just about everyone likes that. Even the old-school rappers, a lot of people at first went oh really those old farts, and then we ended up getting a damn good show with no political BS other than Eminem kneeling and people laughing at him because he apparently forgot what year it was.

What did the NFL think, that Bad Bunny was going to go out there like Freddie Mercury at Live-Aid and win over the entire world on the first note?

The NFL picked Bad Bunny because he had the no. 1 album in the US last year. They picked him because he's immensely popular and his presence was going to draw ratings to the halftime show outside of NFL fandom.

The NFL does not care that a bunch of hypocrites who site "fuck your feelings" as their no. 1 credo are a bunch of melting snowflakes.

I get what you are saying. Do you think that the only entertainment should be people who have never criticized anyone or anything? The political stuff associated with Bad Bunny certainly wasn't in this show.

Makes you wonder what went on behind the scenes. The NFL suits probably told Bad Bunny hey, we're catching all kinds of shit here, do you think you could go out there and just do your show? Here's an extra big bag full of money to help you think about it.

You literally just said this in reply to someone who expressed admiration for Usher, Rhiannon, J-Lo, Shakira, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Mary K. Blige. Not exactly a bunch of Pat Boone/Perry Como-types there.

Typical straw man argument from Seattle Or Bust. You've got Ray Bolger turning over in his grave like a pig on a spit.
