The National Football League recently announced that its Super
Bowl 2026 halftime show will feature an anti-Trump, anti-ICE, cross-dressing Puerto
Rican “artist” who doesn’t sing in English. That artist, “Bad Bunny,” said in a
statement released by the NFL, Apple Music, and ROC Nation: “This is for my
people, my culture and our history.” None of which was referring to Americans
or America.
Ironically, the Rotten Rabbit had also recently announced
that he would “never” perform in the United States due to President Trump’s
deportation policies. However, last I checked, Santa Clara, California was
still part of the U.S., if only physically. Money talks. Bunny listens.
Some believe Bunny is a demonic Marxist and are upset
that he has been granted the largest possible stage and the greatest
audience via this Super Bowl gig. But there is no stopping the NFL in its
attempt to expand internationally, and Bad Bunny has a huge foreign fan base. America
will be nothing but an afterthought once the NFL becomes an international
conglomerate like Google, Amazon, or Apple. For now, despite Bud Lite, Cracker
Barrel, et. al., the NFL is trying to use wokeness/DEI to expand its reach. It
thinks virtue signaling will help fill its coffers, the only thing it cares
about. The league is more rapacious and profit-driven than any other on earth, despite
the pathetically trite slogans that adorn the endzones of its arenas and the helmets
of its gazillionaire players.
If it mattered, I would call a penalty on the league: “Personal
foul, unsportsmanlike conduct.” Unamerican, too.
This is unimaginable hubris, given that there is no doubt
that more than half of its fans are non-leftists and at least mildly patriotic.
Why not just have Rosie O’Donnell perform? Or maybe name J.B Pritzker the official
host of the Halftime Show? Nicolás Maduro?
More importantly, when will principle take hold and fans
finally shout “enough!!”?
I sometimes think more people are addicted to the NFL
than are addicted to nicotine, alcohol, pot, hard drugs, methamphetamine, and
fentanyl combined. Maybe gambling, too. And the NFL couldn’t be happier about
it.
Sadly, there are more Americans who couldn’t imagine
their Sundays without NFL football than would be at all troubled by the absence
of church on the Sabbath. This is not a good sign.
But, Bad Bunny or not, I don’t see that changing anytime
soon. If ever.
Game over?
