Watching the Super Bowl’s half time show was not easy. I tried hard to enjoy Bad Bunny’s songs. I really wanted to. But Bad Bunny’s name lived up to his performance. I kept an open mind but couldn’t connect by singing along with the words that I did not understand or felt like dancing. My feet didn’t move, the body was still. Bad Bunny was BAD for main stream America and the worlds TV viewing audience.
Commissioner Rodger Goodell fell to the pressure by pandering to minorities who dominate the NFL’s game so Rodger went woke. White men can’t jump. They are afraid to be called racist. After all Rodger makes $40,000,000 + a year plus perks, power and fame.
The NFL Super bowl game is supposed to be a family event in a country that speaks English namely the USA. I had to chase my grandchildren out of the room . Bad Bunny turned it into a musical event of obscenities using bad words, grabbing his crotch, girls humping while dancing and at the same time most Americans including some Spanish did not understand what he was saying in Spanish. Good choice Rodger Goodell. We might as well have been in Spain or South America or a local strip club.
America last.
My choices would have been more main stream and appealing to a larger American audience who could relate more. For Latin music how about Luis Miguel and the Mariachis, Julio Iglesia, Juan Luis Guerra, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine; for rock and roll how about Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones. For main stream music there are so many great performers.
Rodger should have called up “America’s Got Talent’s” Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Sofía Vergara , Mel B, or Terry Crews.
Roger Goodell has no backbone. He knows that White Middle America won’t call him out. He took the easy way out.
America Last!
