Once upon a time, the Super Bowl halftime show meant fireworks, fun, and a little shock value. But now? It feels more like a Twitter comment section — some say “representation matters,” while others are asking, “Daddy, who’s Bad Bunny?”
When Bad Bunny was announced as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime performer, the internet immediately went into a full-blown cultural meltdown. Some fans were dancing with joy, while others rushed to open a petition titled “Bring George Strait Instead!”
Meanwhile, conservative sports commentator Jason Whitlock set his mic on fire (figuratively, of course). On his BlazeTV show, he launched a long rant, claiming the NFL is no longer about football but a mission to push “gender fluidity” and “LGBTQ messages” into every home.
Whitlock also complained that even the commercials during games are “part of the agenda.” He pointed to a PayPal ad featuring Will Ferrell in a bubble bath with curlers, and a DirecTV commercial showing Kumail Nanjiani and Rob McElhenney wearing fur coats and jewelry. According to Whitlock, these ads aim to “normalize gender fluidity.” He sees Bad Bunny’s halftime show as just another example of that trend.
His words quickly went viral —

He added, “Can we just watch football without the sexual stuff being shoved down our throats?”
Translation: the man came for football but got drag and debate instead!
On the other side, thousands have joined Whitlock’s camp. A Change.org petition with over 17,000 signatures is demanding the NFL replace Bad Bunny with country legend George Strait, claiming the show should “celebrate American culture and unity,” not become a “political stunt.”
But Bad Bunny fans are unbothered, saying, “If you’re bored, go make coffee during halftime.”
The NFL and Roc Nation haven’t commented yet, but the online chaos rages on. Some are proudly tweeting “#TeamBunnyForever,” while others cry “#BringGeorgeBack.”
