Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Bunny, And Why? | Defector
"When the NFL announced that Bad Bunny would headline this season's Super Bowl halftime show, it made all the sense in the world, because Benito Martínez Ocasio is probably the single most versatile man in show business. He's wrestled a match at WrestleMania, pulled double duty as host/musical guest on Saturday Night Live, and most recently had a featured role in a Darren Aronofsky movie."
"This is apparently an outrage, according to top members of the Republican Party, who over the past several days have produced a series of incoherently upset quotes about Bad Bunny playing at halftime of the Super Bowl. The proliferation of vague, confused, and blandly belligerent statements framing Bad Bunny as someone who "hates America" indicates that conservatives should be mad, but they can't agree on or even elucidate what exactly they're supposed to be mad about."
The NFL named Bad Bunny the Super Bowl halftime headliner. He has wide-ranging entertainment credits including WrestleMania, hosting and musical guest duties on Saturday Night Live, and a role in a Darren Aronofsky film. His music accumulates billions of streams, his concerts draw enormous demand, and he previously guested at the Shakira/J-Lo halftime show. The NFL appears to be courting the Latin market through campaigns like 'Por La Cultura.' Senior Republican figures responded with incoherent, vague, and belligerent statements, alleging he 'hates America' without articulating coherent objections. Examples include Kristi Noem's denunciation and President Trump's expressed unfamiliarity and displeasure.
