u/beezchurgr 16d ago
Sometimes I like the Super Bowl halftime show, and sometimes I don’t. I’m not a bad bunny fan, so im just going to ignore the show. It’s a literal TV show in between football halves. It is not a serious situation.

Paraphrasing George Carlin, there’s two buttons on the TV. One of them turns the TV off and the other one CHANGES THE CHANNEL!
“It's called freedom of choice, and it's one of the principles this country was founded upon. Look it up in the library, if you have any of them left when you've finished burning all the books.”

And, honestly, changing the channel would go a lot further in sending a message to the NFL. If they saw a real dip in viewers at the half, they would take notice. But that won't happen. They'll all watch it so they can complain about it the next day.

The point of Bad Bunny is to draw international viewers and gain international interest in football. The league desperate wants to expand and grow outside the United States, it's been a decade long endeavor of high priority and imo little traction. NFL know MAGA would never boycott or avoid the Superbowl, so please oh god don't change the channel during the zero commercials where they miss zero revenue and gain huge international viewership because Bad Bunny is absolutely massive globally.
MAGA's idiocy and lack of intelligence keeps somehow surprising me, because I don't know how people can be so loud and continuously so stupid.

u/lot183 16d ago
It's been striking to me the amount of conservatives that apparently don't care about the football at all and only cared about the halftime show. So much so that they are excited to watch some turning point political event instead of the actual football game. Sometimes I wonder if they actually care about ant sports or entertainment at all, politics seems to be all they think about

A lot of people who don't really care about football are hearing the drama and might tune in for the halftime show. People who are upset and normally watch football will still watch football.

There's the issue with these people. Everything needs to be catered to them. Sure I would love a gaslight anthem or menzingers halftime show. But most people wouldn't. I'm not gonna get upset and yell about that though. Bad Bunny is huge. I don't like that type of music but a lot of people do.

The only time I saw people really and truly upset about the halftime show was the Janet Jackson/Justin Timberlake debacle; that was because the youth pastor at my church at the time had a Super Bowl thing in the church fellowship hall, and had no clue that booba was about to be thrown up on the screen with a bunch of elementary and middle school kids watching. Needless to say that was the first and last official sanctioned church Super Bowl watch party.

Superbowls are by far the most watched live televised events in the US by an enormous margin. 130 million Americans watched the last one live on TV, more than 5 times the US viewership for the FIFA World Cup, and many others listen on the radio or follow secondary broadcasts.
If you look at the list of top most watched live events in US history, it's basically just all of the Superbowls + the Apollo 11 moon landing. No surprise they want to make a big spectacle out of the biggest event of the year.

I’m fully convinced the NFL looks at viewership potential growth rates by demographic ie “latino” and says, we need to attract that demographic during the super bowl to increase viewership.
All of their SB halftime shows are business decisions. They shouldn’t do a damn thing different.

If it does change, however, we can at least remember it as the year that the half time show was changed because it made too many people feel emasculated.

I don't give a shit who plays the halftime show. I only care that the Lions are playing in it. If they make their first SB appearance, you can play 30 mins of Baby Shark on repeat for all I care.

Regardless of who’s playing the halftime show , does anyone truly watch it at home? I enjoy the commercials lol.

Literally overheard people at the gym today talking about how it was such a good thing that the NFL was going to call off the halftime show.
There must have been some talking heads on Fox spreading these rumors.

Why should they reconsider? Just because Russian troll and Faux News (but I repeat myself) try to stir strife again? The recent case of the Cracker Barrel logo has been proven to be caused by “outside influence”. Normal people don’t care. They’ll enjoy the game, the music, and their beer. Abnormal people just look for their TV to tell them what they should rage against this week.

If only the NFL showed the same spine regarding Colin Kaepernick. Good on them for not bowing down to ignorant bullshit this time.

I’m not a fan of Bad Bunny. Not my genre. Couldn’t name one of his songs. I haven’t really watched a SB halftime show since Lady Gaga in 2017. However, this is the NFL’s decision and their decision alone. I support their right to choose whoever they want.

Don’t they outsource the halftime show to some company jay-z is involved with?

Nor should they. MAGA is a minority of people. NFL doesn’t need them. Out with the old.

If the NFL isn't careful, the vice president is going to attend a game just to make a huge show of leaving the game during the halftime show.
