Brett Favre, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, has announced his decision not to watch the Super Bowl halftime performance featuring Latin trap artist Bad Bunny. Instead, he will tune into the 'All-American' halftime show, presented by Turning Point USA (TPUSA).
In a social media post, Favre expressed his lack of familiarity with Bad Bunny's music, stating, 'Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know - Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.'
This decision aligns with a growing trend among sports and political figures who are choosing to watch the TPUSA's show instead of the official halftime performance. The controversy surrounding Bad Bunny's 'woke' beliefs has sparked concern and displeasure among many conservatives, including fellow NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and former ESPN host Sage Steele.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed that President Donald Trump will also be watching the 'All-American' halftime show, which is headlined by country/rock artist Kid Rock. Leavitt stated, 'I think the president would much prefer a Kid Rock performance over Bad Bunny. I must say that.'
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice of Bad Bunny as the performer, arguing that he is one of the world's great artists and understands the platform's potential to unite people. However, the controversy continues, with some questioning the NFL's decision and others expressing their support for the 'All-American' show.
The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots will face off in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, with the game kicking off at 6:30 p.m. ET.
