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.

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

The world is full of idiots like this. Look at the current American administration.

+1. You really have to twist yourself into a pretzel to think that an American performing in ways drawn from the culture of where he grew up in American isn't American. Bad Bunny's part of America isn't exactly like mine, but it's America.

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.

No joke, the kids at the party I went to last night put on the Olympic snowboarding replay to watch instead (they were mostly just hanging out). The only part they watched was the halftime show. Football apparently has nothing on parallel slalom for excitement.

Actually, most people in America do speak Spanish. Get with the times!

Let me clarify then. Puerto Rico is technically an American territory, but not like the rest of the country try… they have no electoral college or voting rights. Puerto Rico, as a country is typically known to represent a Latin culture. The language that they speak, the food etc. I don’t think that most people who are from Puerto Rico claimed to be American, they claimed to be Latino. Puerto Rico is a fairly new addition to the United States, within the last 125 years, and it’s history is that of Spain.

Agree. It demonstrates how the person who wrote it is white and doesn’t believe American culture is anything other than their own white culture. It discounts and minimizes anything else in our culture that is not their own limited experience. To me the show was exactly what American culture means to me. A celebration that we are many things, have many cultures and experiences and they are all valid. Full stop.

So... Puerto Rico has been part of the US for more time than say... Hawaii?

Seriously just stop. You're not helping yourself here at all.

It’s like the Covid masks now. If you dislike masking you’re a Trumper who wants people to die.

If you dislike the bad bunny performance you’re racist and MAGA.

People can disagree with the halftime show, but still be very pro culture. It was an interesting show and I enjoyed watching it, I just didn’t think it was the right place for it. It felt more political than performative.

You can dislike the performance and not be racist.

Claiming it wasn't American is 100% racist.

Exactly. In Hawaii has a beautiful history and culture, just like Puerto Rico, but it’s different than American culture.

Honestly. This is the problem with left-wing people. If you don’t agree with everything, you are automatically a racist who loves Maga. You can disagree with the halftime to show and still be pro immigration and anti-ice.

+1. Bad Bunny is not my thing. I didn't watch. It's fine that he's other people's thing and he's an American artist representing an American culture. I'd be shocked if this opinion means anyone calls me racist.

So you've decided whole parts of the US aren't "American"? You're just doubling down on that?
