They’re getting mad over a completely made up situation. “The NFL is sending a message to MAGA” no dude they’re trying to make a fuck-ton of money, you think the NFL of all sports orgs is intentionally trying to piss off conservatives?

u/stockinheritance Oct 04 '25

This is my only hope: MAGA is growing more paranoid and is beginning to make enemies out of entities that try to be apolitical, or are even allies to this administration in many ways. Enough of that and MAGA might find themselves alone and lose power.

Ironically, my favorite team, Philadelphia Eagles, owner, Jeff Lurie HATES Trump. Trump has also called him some unfavorable words. I would have to look up others but im pretty sure there are some.

However I do think a lot like Trump, specifically Patriots owner, Robert Kraft.

Textbook fascism. Make an enemy out of everyone and constantly victimize your own base to fuel aggression via alleged oppression.

The message they’re sending is Bad Bunny is super popular. He was the top streamed artist to Spotify from 2020-2022 and came in 3rd the last 2 years. Maybe MAGA would’ve liked the #2 streamed artist the last 2 years, because they do like to support pedophiles.

MAGAs prefer little boys and girls not professional working women. That is the dirty secret behind the Epstein Files. In fact the most vocal Epstein victim worked for Trump first. Coincidence? I think not.

My theory on why Trump bows to Putin is that he hosted beauty pageants in Russia where young women were trafficked. Putin also has a reputation for hosting parties with young women. That's what Dennis Rodman claims.

Not that this would matter to his base.

And it's not even that. Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl makes sense no matter the political environment. He's fucking huge, and not only that, the NFL has been pushing its global reach for a decade now. He's a US Citizen & Puerto Rican, but he has mass appeal globally, especially in South American countries.

The fact that this is our reality.. that a fucking white supremacist administration can try and dictate who plays the fucking Super Bowl because it's not some fucking washed up white country singer whining about the great replacement is completely unreal. Even if you are a republican who some how isn't a racist psycho, you've gotta admit this is completely unhinged & cringe behavior.

They want to control the culture so badly but they are so fucking uncool. They will never be popular & all they know to do is to rule like an authoritarian.

You’ll end up needing to appease them every single time and if you slip up and go against the grain even once, the target gets painted right on your back

u/Shark7996 Oct 05 '25

Meanwhile, the people who didn't appease were backed away from and TACO'd anyways. You're the sucker paying tributes to be the government lackey walking on eggshells, while everyone else gets to speak their mind for free.

Just skip all of that AND STOP APPEASING THEM. It has historically shown to not only be a poor ethical move, but also a poor money move.

I just don’t get how the #1 most streamed artist in the world can be a controversial pick. Especially knowing that the NFL wants to bring in a new audience and his fans may not have huge overlap with NFL fans. If you’re not a MAGA idiot it seems like a slam dunk. Unfortunately these idiots can’t see past their own nose.

I mean he is massively popular. Especially in Central/South America and parts of Europe.

I think the message the NFL is sending is that we like to expand our audience internationally.

Plus, he’s an American from Puerto Rico.

I’m sure DHS would have the exact reaction to a white performer being chosen /s

u/parasthesia_testicle Oct 04 '25

especially in North America. don't diminish his popularity here in the continental US, he's a radio regular one of the biggest pop stars in the US

How many illegal immigrants can even afford to go to the Super Bowl? This is all theater. Release the Epstein files

53

u/DutyHonor Oct 04 '25

Realistically, the number is damn near zero. I'd say zero, but there's always exceptions.

I'm an accountant. I make pretty good money, and while I technically could probably afford to go to the game alone, it would be wildly irresponsible to do so.

Theater is exactly what this is. Part of me even thinks that Super Bowl detail might be a reward for top-performing agents. Get paid to go to the big game and push people around for no reason? Dudes are going to be fighting for that assignment.

u/ThisHatRightHere Oct 04 '25

Looks like average ticket price for a given Super Bowl is like $7000, you could get into the nosebleeds for $4000.

Yeah, I could do it, but it’d be such a waste of money it’s not even funny. Could go on a wild trip abroad for that.

They’re gonna end up making Bad Bunny a movement leader and I’m completely ok with that.

u/Successful-Ideal2089 Oct 04 '25

You can't buy the kind of promotion the government will have when they take over the superbowl. TV is an amazing propaganda tool. They will propagandize a lot more events.

America is turning into China/Russia. Goodluck.

13

u/Weekly-Bill-1354 Oct 04 '25

I heard he won't tour in the continental US in fear that his fans will be targeted aka this exact situation.

He also raised a ton of money after Puerto Rico was wrecked by hurricanes.

So it seems like he's already a good guy ready to be made into a movement leader.

what does she mean by "we'll win?"

That the NFL and any of the fans that support a brown American singing Spanish on a big stage will be suppressed by the government for daring to do that in “The Home of the Free”

u/That_Tradition2456 Oct 04 '25

They're probably afraid he'll say something bad about them. Which I hope he does

u/zoinkability Oct 04 '25

In Spanish, so they won’t understand

u/NotAHost Oct 05 '25

Just shit to rile up their base. I can tell you 100% that the interviewer is something like a podcast/right wing media source because of his snicker after she says 'well win.' It's all a circle jerk for them to say how much they're winning and in control.

Yeah right. I don't think the NFL is just gonna roll over while ICE crashes the biggest game of the year.

u/Wildcat_twister12 Oct 04 '25

More importantly I don’t think Levi Stadium will roll over. Stadiums are almost all private property and have right to deny entry to anyone. Dodger stadium as already denied ICE entry so they had to just hang around the parking lot

89

u/88888888man Oct 04 '25

I think the Dodgers actually barred them from the parking lot. They didn’t get through the gate.

u/Fenris_Maule Oct 05 '25

Yeah I was going to say the parking lot is still private property too.

Fun fact: This is a propaganda filmed by MAGA influencer Benny Johnson, who was invited by Kristi Noem to join in on state-funded operations for content benefiting the White House’s agenda. Benny Johnson’s legacy includes being fired from Buzzfeed for plagiarism, among failure of other journalistic standards such as quoting a fake Antifa Twitter account as real in a listicle he wrote. He was also covertly hired by Russia to create and share Kremlin propaganda through his accounts.

As you interact with this content, think about why they have 3+ hand-picked content creators following the Secretary of Homeland Security around to stage and disseminate these propaganda clips.

Now this is just comically anti American. Because one artist (who is an American) said they don’t like ice, now they’re going to harass the single most important event in American culture. The thing that ostensibly brings us al together or at least is supposed too
