When I was in Mexico City, I was all excited about talking soccer with the locals and none of the guys I talked to cared about it. They wanted to talk about the NFL.

Consistent experience with my coworkers (few dozen) in central Mexico as well.

Don't listen to his music, but he makes me laugh in his comedic roles..so hopefully he does something funny. And will be watching for whoever the special guests are.

With some backup dancers and pyro, these folks would be an excellent substitute for Bad Bunny.

Literally never heard of him until he was announced for the super bowl. But I don't listen to generic mindless slop.

I'll not watch the halftime show just like I haven't the past umpteen years (not withstanding watching my sancha Shakira sing & shake)
Also, Rule 1

When Shakira performed at the Super Bowl didn't she sing some songs in Spanish and didn't she also bring Bad Bunny out as a guest? I don't recall it being such a big deal then.

I'm protesting the fact that "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" has been replaced for the 7th Inning Stretch.

I'm also seeing reports that he sat through the National Anthem. He definitely should have stood for that, if true.

I noticed that the TMZ version of the story has some craftily edited video.

I couldn't imagine being this triggered by who is playing a halftime show. So many fragile minds out there.

I'm old enough to remember when MLB didn't play God Bless America at every playoff game.

These kinds of discussions always crack me up.

We automatically assume that young people won't like old folks' music, and we give them a pass. At the same time, we mock older people who don't like young people music.

But aren't both age groups expressing the same thing? You like what you're familiar with. It's been that way since the introduction of modern music and the availability of different genres.

In 30 years, today's kids will be asking the Super Bowl to "bring back Bad Bunny" and their kids will be turning up their noses.

On a side note, I have a deep appreciation for music from before my time. And my kids appreciate the music of my youth (much of which they learned from "Glee" or playing Rock Band). But I realize there's a difference between appreciation and loving what's new and fresh.

Yep. I will also add that true good music can be popular with literally any generation just as long as those people are somehow exposed to it. It's no coincidence how old music can can suddenly shoot up the charts and be loved by a younger audience when it shows up in modern shows and movies (ex. Guardians of the Galaxy).

With that said, it should be no surprise that the NFL and other sports entertainment leagues predominately pick entertainment that is the biggest thing in current worldwide pop culture and not just American pop culture. Because believe it or not, the vast diversity of the worldwide audience has a lot more appeal than white men over 40 who only speak English. I personally would rather see Journey, Metallica, or Foo Fighters over Bad Bunny, but cannot deny that Bad Bunny simply has much more entertainment appeal over all of them combined currently.

Per google, the majority of Shakira and J'Lo's songs they performed at the Superbowl were their English hits.

Bad Bunny literally doesnt have a song in English. I think thats where the outrage is coming from, it would be different if Bad Bunny had some songs in English, but he doesnt. And I say this as a huge Bad Bunny fan. Im looking forward to his performance, but I can also understand that the majority of NFL fans have no idea who he is or know any of his songs.

Shakira's Set

  • "She Wolf"
  • "Whenever, Wherever"
  • "I Like It" (with Bad Bunny)
  • "Chantaje"
  • "Hips Don't Lie"
Jennifer Lopez's Set

  • "Jenny From the Block"
  • "Ain't It Funny"
  • "Get Right"
  • "Waiting For Tonight"
  • "Mi Gente" (with J Balvin)
  • "Let's Get Loud" (with Emme Maribel Muñiz and a choir)
