US Conservative lawmakers called for a federal investigation into Bad Bunnys Super Bowl halftime show... And they should have kept quiet. An investigation by the Federal Communications Commission has proved that the Puerto Rican superstars show did not violate any rules.
The backlash to Bad Bunnys historic Super Bowl performance cant seem to die down, as certain political circles in the US apparently unable to get over how a halftime show could be sung exclusively in Spanish. Or how awful the MAGA alternative show was.
Following Donald Trumps bellyaching on the matter, a number of Republican congressmen called for a probe accusing the Puerto Rican superstar of potentially violating broadcast decency standards - despite the fact he censored or omitted his most explicit lyrics from the show.
Conservative lawmaker Andy Ogles called for a federal investigation into Bad Bunnys explicit and indecent halftime show at the Super Bowl. In an open letter to the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Ogles demanded a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBCUniversal for airing the rappers performance, as he was offended by the singing of Bad Bunnys track Safaera, which Ogles slammed for its graphic lyrical content, including references to analingus, sexual intercourse, and other explicit themes.
Elsewhere, in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Carr, Florida Republican congressman Randy Fine wrote: What Americans witnessed during the Super Bowl halftime show with Bad Bunny was despicable and never should be allowed to be shown on television again In America, our laws are not suggestions, and no matter what foreign language you speak, you must comply.

They had many clips and memes about the lyrics that I knew Bad Bunny was too smart to use during the show. I dont know his music at all but I knew those couldnt possibly have been the lyrics he used.
Then they shifted to twerking and open displays by homosexual men. Okay those were in the show but grow up and get over it.
