Bad Bunny

I thought Metallica would have been a great choice....

The NFL knows what they’re doing. By making it political, and hinting that Bad Bunny may make a political statement, they drew more attention to it. I can’t remember a halftime show being talked about this much in recent memory.

I don't think it was that - just trying to expand the audience south. Whether it's a good marketing move is a different question but I don't see a conspiracy here.

 

[volinbham]

Not my thing. If it’s yours, all good. Or maybe I’m just old now.

I do enjoy a lot of non-English speaking music. I listen to a lot of bossa nova when I’m relaxing with a cigar on my back deck in mid July. So it’s not a political thing for me.

did some Astrud Gilberto this afternoon on the deck

Reggaeton bass lines hit different when you're there.

Again, gotta assume most people haven't experienced it.

If they ain’t speakin American dennn keep it out! YESYES

One way to get over Dylan Mulvaney....

During the commercial one of the young lads here at the watch party said something like “is this the freebird version I know?” I simply replied “son there is only one freebird”

Maybe. It got a lot of coverage though, more than I can think of a Super Bowl halftime show getting recently.

Yes. This is America, if you are here you should be required to speak American.
Just like in Brazil, you should speak Brazilliain, Germany you should speak German etc.....

Most Germans can speak English. I had no problem when traveling there.

That’s right there is a marker and memorial there I believe.

Supposedly, there's a memorial a few miles off I-55....

Those guys were better when they sung about beating off and smoking weed. I don’t mind politics in music because it’s inevitable, but ever since American Idiot it’s literally all that they sing about. Pop punk version of Rage Against the Machine.

 

[VAVol85]

Don’t Brazilians speak semi-Mexican?

Portuguese

 

[82_VOL_83]

Watched half an episode of NCIS

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Americans should collectively hate potential pedos and racists so I fail to see the problem.

 

[JOEY’S ALL VOL !!!]

On the off chance that the New York Jets ever make another Super Bowl how cool would it be if Geoff Tate did a cameo belting out Jet City Woman?

On paper, with the NFL's recent efforts to put it on a more international stage, I think it was a good marketing move.

The only people it pissed off are literally a dying demographic.
