"Conservatives on Sunday voiced their outrage in response to Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny's performance during the Super Bowl halftime show. The performance, which was done entirely in Spanish, included countless homages to Puerto Rican culture. When Bad Bunny was first announced as the halftime show act, he joked that NFL fans had ample time to learn the language. Since that announcement, the MAGA world has made its disapproval evident."
"Fox News correspondent Charles Gasparino claimed he only peaked at Bad Bunny's showed and declared he sucked. Bad bunny sucked but you knew that already I peaked in during @TPUSA show which was really good. Bad Bunny plays to a nation the left wants but most of the nation doesn't. Shame on @nflcommish for taking this great game into AOC territory. Charles Gasparino (@CGasparino) February 9, 2026"
"In response to the backlash, Turning Point USA held an alternate halftime show headlined by Kid Rock. Although prominent conservatives vowed to boycott the NFL show in favor of Turning Point USA's, they still had much to say about Bad Bunny's performance. Ex-ESPN anchor Sage Steele sarcastically lamented the fact that the halftime show didn't come with subtitles. If only there were English subtitles during the halftime show of AMERICA's greatest sporting event, Steele said."
