Dropkick Murphys Frontman Calls Out NFL for Hypocritical Stance Toward Bad Bunny's Halftime Performance
"He understood the platform he was on [at the Grammys], and that this [Super Bowl] platform is used to unite people and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talent, and to be able to use this moment to do that. I think artists in the past have done that, I think Bad Bunny understands that, and I think he'll have a great performance."
"I'll say this: you have two great American artists. Bad Bunny is American - he won me over the minute I saw Happy Gilmore 2. I thought, 'This guy is great,' and my daughter had to tell me, 'Dad, that's Bad Bunny.' I love him. The guy's the biggest artist in the world, and we should be celebrating it whether you like his music or not."
"I heard the NFL say that it's not a platform for political discourse and told them not to [get political], but they also made everybody sit through a Charlie Kirk moment of silence,"
Ken Casey questioned why NFL commissioner Roger Goodell advised Bad Bunny against bringing political discourse to the Super Bowl halftime while the league previously held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. Goodell described Bad Bunny as one of the great artists in the world and emphasized that the Super Bowl platform should unite people and showcase creativity and talent, expressing confidence in a strong performance. Casey praised Bad Bunny's popularity and artistry, recounted a personal anecdote about recognizing him, and called the NFL guidance inconsistent. Casey also criticized Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show" and referenced Green Day's role in the opening ceremony.
