"Turning Point USA announced Thursday that it would be staging its own counterprogramming in protest of the league's choice. It'll be called "The All American Halftime Show" - and it most certainly won't be in Spanish. Ever since the NFL announced that Bad Bunny (whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio) would play the Big Game on Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, critics have been decrying the decision."
"House Speaker Mike Johnson said booking Bad Bunny was "a terrible decision." President Trump, who admitted he'd never heard of Bad Bunny before the late September Super Bowl announcement, said the NFL's booking of the performer was "absolutely ridiculous." White House advisor Corey Lewandowski said it was "shameful they've decided to pick somebody who seems to hate America so much.""
Bad Bunny, Puerto Rican superstar Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, will perform at Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Turning Point USA announced counterprogramming called "The All American Halftime Show," explicitly noting it will not be in Spanish. The organization subtly asked followers for donations while promoting the event. High-profile conservatives criticized the NFL's booking, calling it a "terrible decision," "absolutely ridiculous," and "shameful." Bad Bunny has about 80 million Spotify listeners compared with roughly a half-million for Lee Greenwood, whom some suggested would attract a "broader audience."
