Maybe that’s true too. But even if the choice was strategic, strategy doesn’t exist in a vacuum. The fact that the Bad Bunny Super Bowl generated such a reaction says more than any intent ever could. The fact that it became a headline at all felt embarrassing to some of us. A reminder of how fragile the idea of neutrality really is. There were historical reminders too. The first Super Bowl halftime after 9/11 was U2. No one complained about an un-American band then. Foreigners have played before. Black and brown people have played before. And yet suddenly a Latino man from a US territory is framed as un-American. The inconsistency is so obvious it almost feels insulting.

Every year, the event arrives with a familiar weight. It is not just a game but a ritual, a strange national pause where even people who don’t care about football find themselves orbiting the event. The Bad Bunny Super Bowl challenged the expectation that the halftime show should feel big but safe, surprising but not too surprising, and familiar enough that nobody has to ask too many questions.
(Central Michigan University Chippewas Vintage Style Cap)And through it all, there was humor. A sweetness in imagining the outrage, in savoring the discomfort of people who had never had to feel out of place before. At this stage, some said, the Bad Bunny Super Bowl pissing them off was its own reward. Not out of cruelty, but out of long-suppressed frustration. Out of a desire to flip the script, even briefly. Yet even in that defiance, there was no illusion of victory. No one believed this performance would magically fix anything. No one thought a halftime show could heal the fractures running through the country. But it could mark something. A shift, however small. A moment where the center moved just enough to be noticed.
