From Kaepernick to Bad Bunny: NFL’s descent from Sports League to Pop Culture Bust!

The NFL just made its most “woke” move yet—announcing Bad Bunny as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show headliner. Yes, the same Bad Bunny who’s proudly anti-Trump, anti-ICE, and outspoken against just about every pro-American policy in existence. Out of all the talent they could have picked for America’s biggest stage, they went with a guy who openly mocks the very people who built the sport’s fanbase.

Is this just tone-deaf, or an intentional slap in the face? Let’s not forget: this is the same NFL that lionized Colin Kaepernick for years, elevating a second-string quarterback into a woke martyr. This is the same league that turned football Sundays into BLM virtue-signaling festivals after the George Floyd riots. The message is clear—the league cares more about scoring points with the globalist elite than honoring American fans.

Bad Bunny isn’t just a music choice, he’s a statement. The NFL is saying: we’ll shove our politics down your throat, and you’ll still buy tickets. It’s the same arrogance that’s driving viewers away year after year. Business owners know the game here—alienate your customer base long enough, and you collapse. But the NFL seems happy laughing at us, cashing TV deals, and playing politics instead of football.

Far From Woke verdict: Bad Bunny isn’t the halftime show America wanted—he’s the halftime show woke elites picked to rub it in our faces.
