The Super Bowl halftime fallout isn’t about music — it’s about respect for a national stage, and President Donald J. Trump didn’t mince words. He blasted Bad Bunny’s halftime performance as “absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER,” arguing that the show “makes no sense” for the biggest family TV event of the year.
Bad Bunny’s set was undeniably theatrical and unapologetically political, ending with a football that read “Together, we are America” and a jumbotron message proclaiming “the only thing more powerful than hate is love.” Supporters call it a celebration of heritage; critics call it a politicized performance that sidelined the expectations of many mainstream fans watching the biggest game of the year.
Over on The View, hosts rushed to defend the show and lecture anyone who dared to complain, with Whoopi Goldberg dismissing critics as “snowflake-ian” and insisting detractors are a loud but small minority. That kind of condescension from coastal daytime TV proves the point: the media elite are comfortable lecturing Americans about what we should accept, then feign surprise when people push back.
Let’s be blunt — Americans want halftime entertainment that unites families and respects broad audiences, not a platform for cultural grievance theatre. The mainstream press rushed to crown the performance historic and “beautiful,” even as many working Americans wondered why the NFL chose to hand the biggest patriotic moment of the year over to a politically charged act that used the field to advance a message tied to recent immigration controversies.
Conservatives answered the cultural provocation with something practical: an All-American alternative halftime show that drew millions away from the official feed and proved there’s a real appetite for entertainment that celebrates traditional American values. The grassroots response and alternative broadcasts were not a fringe tantrum — they were a market signal that the NFL and the media simply ignore at their peril.
What should worry patriotic Americans is not just the halftime content but the attitude behind it: the comfortable elites insist on telling us what “America” looks like while silencing anyone who disagrees. If major stages are going to be used for identity politics, then leagues, networks, and advertisers should expect a political and economic reckoning from the millions of Americans who believe our national moments should bring us together, not divide us.
This debate isn’t going away because conservatives won’t stop demanding accountability. We don’t hate art or culture — we oppose using taxpayer-sized stages to broadcast a partisan message while Big Media hails it as courageous. The message to the NFL, the networks, and the coastal pundit class is simple: respect the audience, keep family hour family hour, and stop lecturing hardworking Americans about what counts as patriotism.
