Right-Wingers Melt Down Over Bad Bunny Headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show
a year ago by vegeta to c/politics
For such a "tough guy" culture, it's amazing how they live in such constant fear of… everything.
I live in the middle of fucking nowhere
Way more afraid of the always naked guy that doesn't have running water and shits in his front yard outhouse all winter than I am of the rich fucks with fancy gates and threatening signs on them: "PRIVATE PROPERTY. FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT."
Ok buddy. Guaranteed our mutual neighbor shits in your yard for fun.
Pretty much always.
The media continually paint them as having a meltdown, but in reality it’s their state of being; the reactionary hate is where they live.
If you hear “ does and the far right say they’re OK with that….” be VERY concerned about whatever was.
Inb4 they say its unamerican to have a Puerto Rican do the super bowl halftime show, because theyre too stupid to realize that Puerto Ricans are Americans
Guaranteed the far-right doesn't see them as people.
They're Americans in the same way India and ireland were British in the 1800s. Fingers crossed they act more like the Irish resistors.
Like they're Americans in the same way that residents on Washington DC are Americans.
Sort of. DC at least gets infrastructure.
You do know that Puerto Rico has voted to stay, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/...
They're Americans in the way that they're fully enfranchised US citizens in every way.
Up until the 1960s they had the same legal status as residents of Washington DC. The only reason it hasn't changed is because they've consistently asked for it not to.
Are you hoping Puerto Rican terrorists killing mainlanders will cause Puerto Ricans to vote for independence?
as DC
So no representation.
So you're hoping for there to be violence that will result in Puerto Ricans dying?
No, they're hoping for there to be violence that results in British dying.
Because nobody cries of spilled British blood.
Yes that's the thing I meant. Thank you for your gracious intelligent and insightful analysis of my statement.
I mean, the greatest hope would be that only a certain type of political bent would die, but there are already people dying due to fascists. We aren't getting out of this without resisting.
I think it's Football this year
Out of all the sports, it's certainly one of them.

Well the season just started, and the Superbowl tournament doesnt start until January. We wont know who plays until about the start of February
This is going to be the year the jets take it.
TBF the bowl is just mid
Yeah I know, but tournament sounds better and paints a more accurate picture to me at least
His latest album is an impressive work of art; a love letter to Puerto Rico.
It might not be everyone’s jam.
It's the only reason I ever watch the Superbowl — though I mostly just catch them online the next day any more. I don't think I have any options for streaming sports live even if I wanted to.
I remove ads pretty well, but Superb Owl ads are an annual tradition. Plus with the game playing in between commercial breaks, the next day I have some context for asking, "Did you see that ludicrous display?"
The right wing are such tender little soy boys.
About to have a lot more soy in their diet now that they have $12 billion USD worth of soybeans that China isn't going to purchase.
I wouldn't be surprised if it gets dumped/allowed to rot in fields. A whole lot of dumbasses think soy will make them lose their manhood, so I don't see too many on the right changing their diet to anything even having the appearance of being plant-based. I mock their goofy "soy boy" slur as I think it should be mocked...
All I know is this dude refused to have an American tour because of ice doing his family wrong or something but NFL half-time? No problem!
That makes sense, like I said I didn't really know why other than what I heard from a coworker. Still seems a bit hypocritical. Takes away from the message a bit.
If you "don't really know why", then why are you repeating rumor and hearsay? You know that's how bullshit spreads, right? "Oh my coworker said blahdiddyblahblah and I didn't bother to verify it"
You're on the Internet, you can literally just open a new tab and Google shit before you go talking out of your ass.
.
It's not hypocritical, he said he would no longer tour, because of danger to his fans. The Super Bowl is not a tour date and there will be no danger to his fans, as they will not be the primary attending audience of the Super Bowl. It wasn't some stand against the administration, it's a protective action for his fans which isn't applicable in this case.
And yet Spanish speaking voters are still erect for Trump.
My polls show increased support because they think the bad browns will be kicked out and not them, the good browns.
Try telling that to my half Mexican brother and his Mexican wife. If anything, their positive opinion of Trump has gone through the roof. They love seeing the "pisas" get deported.
They don't seem to realize that they're next once ICE runs out of easy targets.
It's weird as hell that white people are constantly talking about nonwhites who support Trump. The only demographic which the majority votes Republican is "white people". Talk to your white family and friends and convince them to vote for Democrats.
Shifting blame is part of the political game.
No democratic presidential nominee has won a majority of the white vote since Democrats supported the civil rights act in 1964. Not even Jimmy Carter after the Nixon debacle. He only won 45% of the white vote. How the majority of white people voted Republican even in those circumstances is mind boggling.
A majority of white people supported Trump for the past three elections and white liberals love to blame PoC, especially for the most recent election because they can't put together a persuasive message to people in their own community. They're constantly vying for PoC to swoop in and save them instead of putting in the work.
East Asian older population seems rather universally Republican. Especially Chinese-Americans.
I think it all depends on whether ICE has harassed them directly, or someone they know. Today's Conservatives have no empathy at all, they only care about things that affect them personally.
No es verdad, hombre
People Puerto Rico speak Spanish
Destroyed.
I CANT Wait for our SMALL GOVERNMENT to Threaten the NFL if they Dont Change Artists!
They have to face so many disappointments lately. Several shooters that were not queer black illegal aliens, ICE removing their cheapest slaves employees, and now no country singer for the halftime show.
That is more than those snowflakes can stand.
I've always found a great way to deal with disappointment is to just eat razor blades dipped medical waste until the disappointment fades away. Hopefully they can give it a shot and it works for them too.
It means cocksucker
I've never understood how that's an insult. It's like shouting, "Hey, you! Yeah, you, who does that thing that I really want you to do to to me! You do that thing! HA! Loser!"
Like, anyone here not want me to do them a quickie? Bet you I can inhale your entire wang and sack at the same time without gagging.
I think that implied is that the one receiving the act is somehow superior to the one dishing it out.
It's a weird interpretation, it is portrayed as the most submissive move, but I can't imagine someone with a higher amount of control over you than the one with his/her teeth close to your most sensitive organ.
Right wingers are the OG snowflakes
I am an old person and really know nothing about him, but looking at the thumbnail, I do remember enjoying his hit song "Dick in a Box."
Lemme guess, it started on Fox News?
What are they distracting from now, still the Epstein files? Trump backtracking on Portland and considering that Fox might be wrong about it? The Church shooter being MAGA? The list is too long, they need to keep pumping out the distractions.
The need to to sensationalize everything needs to stop. The only place I've seen outrage is in headlines, which dropped at the same time of the announcement. There isn't even time for genuine thought before they write the narrative.
The Fairness Doctrine needs to make a comeback.
Why would you do that to a black hole?
I hope Mr. Bunny has a great security team, because those fuckers are crazy and known to shoot people they fear.
Maybe they ought to listen to some Bad Bunny before they complain. My Spanish is terrible, but I still find his songs catchy.
I have no idea who this guy is, but if right wingers don't like him he's probably ok
There’s no crying in football 
Right wingers have some new bullshit they're melting down over every week.
Never heard of this guy until he hosted SNL. He was great and has a very good sense of humour. I liked him. Then, very recently, he showed up in Happy Gilmore 2 and again, he was great! I don't listen to new music anymore so I can't comment on that (I'm old and ignorant).
I'm 47 I'm always looking for new music I think why most people stop searching for new music is because music and memories are strongly associated with one another so if you have good memories of music you grew up with you tend not to seek out new stuff.
I'm always seeking out new punk bands or industrial metal or political metal that goes against the right wing. And I have an 11-year-old daughter so I get to hear some of the new pop and whatever else is coming out there are some gems if you look hard enough
I love music and have listened to it all my life. Mostly current popular stuff. Over time I found that the music industry was becoming formulaic and no longer resonated with me. It seems it had lost it's soul and was used more for marketing clothing lines or a "scent". I still listen to new music, new for me anyway, but I find it in the past, before I was born. Lately I've been listening to Louis Prima non-stop. Man that guy had charisma, was funny, and he could sing and play that trumpet like nobody. I try to keep politics out of my music but there are great political songs as well. "Wanted Man" - Manhattan Transfer; "There is no Time" - Lou Reed, for example. I agree that there are always musical nuggets of gold to find in any generation, if you dig around a little. Reminds me of the Paul Simon line "Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts". I have nothing against the new music, I just don't pursue it anymore. All the best.
And most of it's in Spanish. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
I see Kendrick Lamar got the last helicopter out of Saigon.
It's gonna be more shit like this going forward. I don't know who in their right mind would agree to do a half-time show with the current state the country is in. It's like performing for the fuhrer in 1939.
Umm bad bunny is a straight up bop maker. Saigon didn't stop existing when the USA pulled out
Protest your heart out
I think it’s only fair to swap between a liberal and Kid Rock each year.
I love the imagery of empty stands because who the fuck wants to hear kid rock in 2026?
Anyone have an archive link?
Paywall
Ha! Dudes popular, why not?
So Bad Bunny cancels his US tour dates because of what is happening to immigrants, but then takes a fat check to do the halftime show?
Yeah. He canceled his tour because ICE would arrest his fans. That isn't an issue at the Superbowl.
It's funny to see people acting like he's a hypocrite because they don't understand what's going on.
Union scale and exposure if you don't want to read. The article only hypes up the successful exposure, not the trainwrecks.
I bet you he is probably doing something bold on the most watched event in America , thats why he took it and maybe the money too.
No, please. Not another one of those Disney promo ideas of "omg look how the right hates it, so you should watch it!" garbage. Not only do I not like Bad Bunny, but I won't watch the half time show, the Superbowl, or NFL in general.
“I have absolutely no interest or stake in what’s happening, but fuck what’s happening!”
Not only do I not like Bad Bunny, but I won't watch the half time show, the Superbowl, or NFL in general
And absolutely nothing of any value at all was lost, no tears were shed, and no one anywhere paid any real attention whatsoever. It’s as though nothing actually happened, whatever it might have been.
