"People don't see it, but to the broader global and Latino community, they're like, 'Wow. The NFL gets me,'" Farfan, who still consults for the league, said in an interview with ESPN in December. "And then now, they're seeing [Bad Bunny] and it's like, 'Wow, they really get me.'"


If these morons actually believe the Latino and "broader global community" is on board with Bad Bunny's homo trans garbage, they deserve the letdown.

That is a uniquely American leftist thing. Everyone else has jumped off that train.

You wont hear a peep from NFL players.

Hell, they'll inject an experimental drug into their body, no questions asked.

One of the wildest things we've ever seen. A players union that's supposed to look out for the players and there was NO objection to the vaccine. Not a peep.

Don't worry, I won't. I've watched maybe half of them since 2018.

Corporate pandering at its finest. Rather than celebrate American culture with the greatest truly American spectacle of the year, we use the moment to pander to a select community that consistently fails to assimilate and support American culture


Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. How is that not part of American culture?

Residents can’t vote in US elections, don’t have congressional representation, and don’t pay income tax to the US. Does that sound like they’re part of the US?

We don’t have to guess as to what it “sounds like”

There are facts involved

Puerto Rico is an American territory full of American citizens

No taxation without representation does indeed sound very American to me.

If only DC was the same.

Territory /= state. Nor do most people in PR identify as Americans. Regardless, Bad Bunny isn’t American culture even if he’s technically American

Because it’s a fricking halftime show so people shouldn’t get all invested in it either way.

I couldn't name the acts of the last few SBs for $1M.

I do remember the titty-slip, though.

I bet 90% or more of the people in these areas have never heard of bad bunny either.

And less than 40% of Latin America and the Caribbean have cable or satellite tv which you need to carry American channels airing the Super Bowl. And Latinos aren’t big into American football.

It’d make more sense to pick a popular European musician if the goal is to expand reach to others in the world. American football has a better foothold there right now
