NFL will not reconsider Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show despite Trump backlash

The NFL has confirmed that it will not reconsider its decision to have Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, despite backlash from former President Donald Trump and his supporters. Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice, stating that such backlash is "inevitable" when making decisions that challenge the status quo. Bad Bunny is set to perform in Spanish at Levi's Stadium, a move that Trump previously called "absolutely ridiculous." Goodell emphasized the NFL's commitment to diversity and inclusion, underscoring that the league's decision to feature Bad Bunny reflects its desire to celebrate and showcase the vibrant Latin music scene. The commissioner's unwavering stance suggests the NFL is unwilling to bow to political pressure and is determined to move forward with its plans for the highly anticipated halftime show.
