Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican and an American citizen as all people born in Puerto Rico ARE. The “alternative family entertainment “is featuring Kid Rock .
Adam Kiningzer had a brilliant post yesterday about this “ alternative Super Bowl halftime” featuring Kid Rock which is especially relevant in light of the Jeffrey Epstein files and controversy that continues- Adam posted :
“MAGA: “I ain’t watching the halftime show!!!! I’m watching the pro-family TPUSA one headlined by KID ROCK MAGAAA!!!!”
Kid Rock song:
“ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory (but I say that's mandatory)””
Adam Kiningzer
Delve deeper into Kid Rock’s lyrics and you will be shocked!
I guess those Kid Rock lyrics about underage girls is just what the TPUSA crowd loves. Hiding their love for America behind disgusting lyrics. What hypocrites! ! !
The so called “All American” halftime show will be kowtowing to a Russian puppet and his regime, many of the members who are in the Epstein files, which is looking more and more like a Russian operation. Why not just call it the “Russian half time show”?
The pre-game show is featuring Green Day who have led "Fuck Donald Trump" chants at some of their concerts. I doubt they'll do that at the super bowl, but there's always hope.
It sounds to me like the NFL IS out of touch with their fans. I’m not particularly into NFL and I’ve never heard of this artist so I have no horse in this race.
I merely observe that people often boycott when brands rapidly change identity and what they stand for. This happened when that beer company hired a transsexual to promote their beer after years of associating the brand with traditional masculinity. It also happened to Cracker Barrel.
Brand equity models predict all of this. I should know I’ve specialized in brand building for decades.
I don’t even see it as a political response. People identify with their favorite brands and if the brand rapidly shifts identity customers get upset and stop buying.
Thanks for adding that perspective. I guess I would say that both things can be true. Political groups like to hijack phenomena that occur naturally in society to gain attention for their objectives and to “take control”. I don’t think anything is ever purely political it’s one of many ways of understanding social phenomena that emerge both politically and pre-politically.
One clarification. The response was a typical consumer response to a rapid switch in brand identity, but the brand’s choice to make the switch appears at least somewhat political. So this is partly a political phenomenon the origin of which was the deliberate politicization of a brand by management.
I haven't watched a Super Bowl half-time show in over 40 years. Of late, the featured act is typically someone (like "Bad Bunny", whatever that may be) I've never heard of and don't want to hear or watch. (If it's not blues, jazz, some country, or classic rock, I'm not interested.)
A "tragedy". Really? The author, an incoming Harvard Law student, ought to look up the definition of tragedy. Frankly, she should already know it. This hardly rises to that level.
The irreparable break has begun. Football was the one thing that brought most Americans together. Now it’s one more litmus test for MAGA. The halftime show has always been about commerce — keep the butts in the seats. Now it’s just another opportunity to fling shit at each other.
De Gennaro writes: "Yet the existence of the All-American Halftime Show is an all-American tragedy, for the Super Bowl is one of the last remaining cultural events that we all share."
No, it's not a "tragedy." It's a reaction to the "long march through the institutions" that the left has successfully pursued over many decades. First they captured academia and the press, then popular entertainment, and now sports. De Gennaro may not think much of the proposed alternative, but the important point is that there is some alternative to America's cultural institutions that have been besieged, and then co-opted, by the left.
The left even urges its votaries to confront their conservative relatives about "culture war" issues over Thanksgiving dinner. If there are no "remaining cultural events that we all share," the right is not to blame for that.
As other commenters here have noted, our society has for years been subjected to a barrage of leftist propaganda, be it from the educational system, the so-called mainstream media, Hollywood, and even on ESPN. Why do these people express and conduct themselves in a way that is bound to repel 50% of the potential audience? What is remarkable is not the current reaction to it (as represented by the "alternative" Super Bowl halftime show) but rather that it has taken so long to happen.
No Doubt Cheeto Will Pardon Maxwell At The 11th Hour
Cheeto knows that he's going to pardon Maxwell but he also knows that would sink his presidency So like all things Cheeto will lie and then lie some more until he's one step out the door of what he has morally made of the Black House
Then Maxwell will get sprung and get to leave her Texas country club estate and probably flee to the UK because she would be threatened here in the US
As has been suggested when the D's take back the House and Senate there should be a law that preemptively nullifies any of Cheeto's pardons and puts Maxwell back into a maximum security prison WE the People will have spoken

Is Kinzinger going to censure Lorenzo da Ponte ?
"Delle vecchie fa conquista
Pel piacer di porle in lista;
Sua passion predominante
È la giovin principiante."
{Don Giovanni, Act I, scene 5]
How about Tom D'Urfey?
"Would ye have a young virgin of fifteen years,
You must tickle her fancy with sweats and dears,
Ever toying, and playing, and sweetly, sweetly,
Sing her a love sonnet and charm her ears,
Wittily, prettily, talk her down,
Chase her, praise her, if fair or browns,
Sooth her and smooth her,
And tease her and please her,
And touch but her smicket, and all’s your own."
[Pills to Purge Melancholy, 1698]
At least they didn't propose to have a man prancing about the state in a dress.

Republicans decided to seize on cancel culture. Not to reject it, but to embrace it and dial it up to 11.
It turns out they want to cancel about 99% of the world.
We don't generally watch football, but we will certainly be the there to watch BadBunny!

Good. The Bad Vlad show. Or maybe Vlad the Bad Skunk.

This is branding 101.
Your analysis is accurate in most cases.
In this case, it is entirely 'political' because the whiner-in-chief had a fit about it, and the maga-verse jumped right into the slop in support.

Maybe call it the Epstein Bad Potus halftime show.
Negotiating tool. He wants halftime show named for him and proceeds to go to him.
