The NFL’s decision to feature Latin artist Bad Bunny at halftime has already sparked controversy in some conservative circles, with critics arguing that his predominantly Spanish-language music and stances on issues such as immigration make him an unconventional pick for the game’s massive audience.
His 2025 song “Nuevayol” features an imitated Trump voice saying, “I want to apologize to the immigrants in America. . . . This country is nothing without the immigrants. This country is nothing without Mexicans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Cubans.”
Green Day, which formed in the East Bay Area in the 1980s, is set to perform during the game’s opening ceremony. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has long denounced the administration and has altered the lyrics of the band’s 2004 Grammy-nominated song “American Idiot” during live performances, changing the line “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of a MAGA agenda.”
In July, Armstrong led a Download Festival crowd in a chant calling Trump a “fat bastard.”
And you’ll get booed in live TV?
Maybe worse?
He would get booed but I’m pretttttty sure the network would find a way not to air it
This is the real reason.
Yup. He’s likely not to get lots of adulation from conservatives that clap like seals whenever he mumbles out stupid shit like happens at his stupid road shows.
There’s a reason he doesn’t do them anymore. Either he’s too sick, or there’s just not enough interest, even from his most bigly followers.
