Super Bowl Halftime Show Sparks NFL Fan Outrage
Clear Facts
- The NFL has not featured a white artist as the Super Bowl halftime headliner since 2019, when Jay-Z’s Roc Nation began overseeing the performance.
- This year’s halftime show was conducted mainly in Spanish and included flags from countries outside the United States.
- Many fans criticized the show as unrepresentative of the NFL’s traditional American audience.
Some NFL fans have voiced frustration that the halftime show no longer reflects their values or the demographics of the league’s primary supporters.
Since Roc Nation took charge, concerns have grown over the absence of white headliners and the focus on performances that many see as divisive or out of touch with American traditions.
One part of the show included people waving multiple foreign flags, leading some viewers to claim that the message did not honor American culture or its fans.
“Bad Bunny ended his halftime show with people holding flags of tons of countries and spiking a ball.”
Many felt that the NFL prioritized messaging over entertainment, with little regard for how longtime fans would receive it.
Some fans pointed out that few other countries use their major sporting events to promote foreign languages or cultures at the expense of their own.
During the performance, a visible banner read, “The Only Thing More Powerful than Hate is Love,” leading critics to argue it dismissed valid concerns from traditional audiences.
“The stadium looked dead af during the halftime show.”
Skepticism remains high about the halftime show’s appeal, with widespread claims that the live crowd was unenthusiastic.
Many are calling for the NFL to return its focus to the values and entertainment preferences of its traditional American fanbase.

The stupidity of the NFL “leadership” was on full display. Woke garbage at the iconic American sport high light of the year. The entire group of people responsible for this travesty should be fired instantly and an apology issued to the American viewers plus a promise to make the half time show American and relevant again. Enough mindless jumping and crotch grabbing. The game was pathetic as was the half time. What a gigantic flop!

The NFL and Disney have given us the American Taxpayers the finger after we built them with our money! I switched over to the Charlie Kirk concert and watched Bad Bunny on Utube, I was raised a Democrat and I have left the party behind in Disgust along with the NFL and Disney 😝

It was a very enjoyable halftime show with beautiful sets, great choreography, Lady Gaga, fun salsa beats, Bad Bunny’s Grammy award, and unifying symbols and lyrics.
And for those who measure their enjoyment by the race/ethnicity of the performers, I could have sworn that Eminem (Marshall Mathers) — the Detroiter who for some reason performed in the Compton hip-hop halftime show in 2023 — and Lady Gaga are white.
