Maybe We Should Be Glad Bad Bunny Performed in Spanish

I’ll make this quick: I was not a fan of the Super Bowl performance. Bad Bunny might be a superstar, but he’s not my kind of artist. I, frankly, wished I could’ve watched the TPUSA alternate halftime show, but I was at a bar. At the same time, let’s not dwell on this for days. A couple of days to be amused by some of the memes and reactions, sure. But let the Left overreach on this, treating his Spanish-only performance as an event on par with the moon landing. It was ‘meh,’ but for those who say ‘speak English’ regarding Bunny’s set, there’s a good reason why he didn’t do that that goes beyond politics.

The lyrics are obscene. Not that he should be banned, but for the biggest event in sports, with kids watching, there are rules. You know this. Some have already posted the lyrics to some of the songs he sang. Sure, they were watered down in Spanish, but it’s an FCC goldmine here. 

It’s over. Since most here likely felt the same way about the halftime show, I hope you reloaded on drinks, got more food, and used the restroom. It was the perfect time for that.  

So, onward we go, but the liberal media reaction to this is going to be nauseating, as they try to make this into a Latino-Jackie Robinson moment when it’s not. The man is one of the biggest artists around, so he’s not oppressed. He’s rich. He was Happy Gilmore’s caddy, and he spoke Spanish. Like, what are we even doing here? It didn’t redefine American patriotism. It was a Spanish-language-only halftime event.  

I had no clue the sugarcane were people, though. Then again, I was more than a few drinks deep when that guy went onstage.
