Damn, this is good: Bad Bunny preaches positivity in Super Bowl performance

Bad Bunny just corrupted the hearts and minds of 100 million Americans.

Did anyone think of the families? The millions of children who should not dare be subjected to a Spanish-speaking singer? How are they supposed to comprehend what just happened, both literally and metaphorically? This is no laughing matter.

OK, actually, it kind of is.

As a few million people opted to flip to Kid Rock’s halftime extravaganza on Turning Point USA’s YouTube channel, exponentially more well-adjusted Americans watched what proved to be an incredible halftime performance by Bad Bunny that will go down in Super Bowl history.

The show exceeded expectations in almost every way. The choreography? Superb. Vocals? Crisp. Guest stars? Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin! The set design? Amazing. And the messaging? That was what set the show apart.

Without even directly addressing the political flashpoints of the day, Bad Bunny sent a message by celebrating Latin American identity on the world’s biggest stage. The symbolism began from the moment Bad Bunny stepped on the field, with depictions of Latin culture around every corner he turned in his sugar cane-inspired set. The performance ended with a parade of flags featuring numerous Latin American countries and Bad Bunny shouting out nations as far south as Argentina and as far north as Canada.

Bravo. ❤️

My fiancee speaks fluent Spanish so they got a bit more out of the lyrics than I did, but we were both bopping along and smiling the whole time.

I'm glad he did NOT include Greenland in the list. Even though it is, in fact, on the North American continent, it would not have been good to include there, in that context.

When he was announced as the Super Bowl Halftime performer I had no idea who Bad Bunny was. Then with all the right wing media having a fit about it I tuned it to watch it. I am not closed minded and like to experience different things such as music. I liked it. The dancing and rhythm of the music was all great. Also his positive message we are all Americans was awesome.

These people against this just need to stop being bigoted and close minded.
