Donald Trump will skip the Super Bowl on 8 February at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, saying the trip is too far and that he would have considered attending if it were a shorter flight. Trump attended last year's Super Bowl in New Orleans as the first sitting president to do so. He has made several high-profile sports appearances this term, often at events close to Florida or the US east coast near the White House or Mar-a-Lago. Trump criticized the NFL's entertainment lineup, including half-time headliner Bad Bunny and pregame act Green Day. Bad Bunny has been a vocal critic of Trump and staged a concert residency in Puerto Rico. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice, citing the artist's global popularity and expressing confidence in the show.
"I'm anti-them, Trump said. I think it's a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible."
"We're confident it's going to be a great show, Goodell said."
