The HT show was full of symbolism. You need to have at least some level of awareness of Latino culture to understand it.


Over 90% of people that watched have no idea what the message was and we're just sitting there bored.


No…I can recognize that something is not very specifically directed at me and doesn’t reflect my cultural background and still enjoy it. I can still appreciate it and connect to it. How do you travel? Or go to a museum? Or watch movies?


And please tell us why the main show at the Super Bowl, the ultimate in American entertainment, should not reflect our cultural background?



Exactly this. I love learning about different cultures and respect all of them, but I’m not sure the Super Bowl, which is known for being American, should be about only other cultures. If they had made it “all American”, there would be so much backlash. Can you imagine if there were only white people in it? I thought it was a beautiful performance, just not appropriate for this situation.


One of the three singers in the show, the one who performed for the second longest was white. So people asking where the white people in this show missed the white lady front and center?

I mean A) PR is American and B) I'm from Florida and this heavily resembled home for me.




There was one white person in the show. And yes, I know that Puerto Rico is a part of America, but this show was not American. They spoke a language that most people in America don’t speak.

To those who have issue with the show being done in Spanish..
The World Cup is coming, will you be demanding that everyone call it soccer and not football?

The hate and ignorance here is astounding.

Did you even watch the show? Bad bunny did salsa with Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin and I saw cumbia there too.

You don’t need to reflexively post right wing talking points about things you don’t understand or care to understand.


+1. Some of the people posting here don’t even seem like they watched the show. They just want to hate on it because it was in Spanish.



It’s not a “right wing talking point” to say I don’t speak Spanish. Sheesh.


That's not what PP said. It's fine not to speak Spanish, it's not fine to be upset because other people are speaking Spanish. Particularly in easily googled song lyrics.

Does "Nessun Dorma" send you into a rage?

I just don't know how anyone could write a sentence like this and not get it.

If the World Cup is being played in America, I assume that the announcers would be speaking English

I don’t understand or like rap, but am mature enough to let those who do have a turn at a superbowl performance.

Did he? I didn’t notice that.

At least he’s only grabbing his own crotch, unlike the orange pile of dog shit.

You just know her team is grinning ear to ear this morning. She now has all the leverage


Has there been a problem with her and the nfl? I thought she had already been asked before


She turned them down because they refused to give her ownership of her halftime performance. They have no choice now, she hold all the cards after last night's performance


I’d love a TSwift half time show as much as anyone else, but disagree. The show is getting great reviews and will go down as a total win for the NFL folks who picked Bad Bunny. Personally I loved it.


The NFL has been working hard to go international. Bad bunny was a good pick for them.


Yes, they got record viewership which is their main goal. Live events have generally had a fall off in viewership numbers. That was a smashing success for them. The NFL is 100% happy today.


+1. And largely because of Bad Bunny. The game itself was much less entertaining.

I would not love a TSwift performance. Would much prefer K-pop.

I fully expect the World Cup to feature country music. It needs to appeal to a wider audience, no?

I’m hoping next year will be pitbull since it’s in Miami.

I think that was the point.

Are you kidding, it was absolutely American! Have you forgotten that we are a melting pot??

It was American. America is a big place with a lot of cultures.
