Last year President Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl. This year he is skipping the game. You should too.
Trump told the New York Post in a January 23 interview that the blockbuster event, set for February 8 in California, is “just too far away.” Proximity isn’t an issue for the many millions who will be tuning in on TV and streaming (the global total is around 180–190 million; last year’s game boasted a record American audience of 127.7 million viewers), but they should boycott it altogether because the National Football League leadership is openly dismissive of the interests and desires of American football fans.
As if it weren’t enough that the NFL disrespected the game’s fans in years past by coddling America-hating radicals like Colin Kaepernick who politicized season after season by “taking a knee” during the playing of the national anthem, now the organization is hiring halftime performers who are further alienating fans: Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and Green Day, one of the most overrated rock bands in history.
Trump himself expressed his distaste for the musical acts scheduled for the event (although noting that they weren’t a factor in his decision not to attend): “I’m anti-them,” said the president. “I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible.”
Bad Bunny – real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio – is apparently one of the most popular musicians in the world. He was Spotify’s most listened-to artist globally last year for the fourth time – streamed more than 60 million times daily, according to USA TODAY.
For his latest world tour, he didn’t schedule any stops in the United States, he told I-D magazine, because “like, f***ing ICE could be outside [his concert].” That gives you an idea of what kind of audience he draws in the United States.
According to celebrity gossip site RadarOnline, the rapper, who refuses to speak or sing in English, “lives to push envelopes.” (I ask you, is there any artist more boring than one who thinks the point of art is to “push envelopes”?) He reportedly intends to make his Super Bowl halftime appearance “as queer as possible,” paying “tribute to generations of queer activists, drag performers, and cultural icons,” according to The Pink News. According to a stylist connected to Bad Bunny, “He is 100 percent going to wear a dress. A political thunderbolt disguised as couture.” Another source added, “He’s not playing it safe. The NFL has no idea what’s coming. Zero.”
Actually, the NFL, or at least its leadership, knows full well what they’re getting with Bad Bunny. That’s the reason they selected him and defend him in the face of nationwide outrage. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell insists that Bad Bunny’s performance will “unite” people: “It’s carefully thought through. I’m not sure we’ve ever selected an artist where we didn’t have some blowback or criticism. It’s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching…”
Really? I don’t recall any controversy or outrage over the choices of Michael Jackson, Shania Twain, Aerosmith, Prince, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, or Bruce Springsteen, to name just a few English-speaking American performers over the years (although admittedly, the five Up With People Super Bowl appearances in the ‘70s and ‘80s were cringy and ill-advised).
Goodell went on to say, “We’re confident it’s going to be a great show. [Bad Bunny] understands the platform that he’s on, and I think it’s going to be exciting and a united moment.”
Really? Goodell thinks Bad Bunny rubbing the noses of American football fans in his gender-bending perversity is going to be a uniting moment?
And then there’s Green Day, which will kick off the Super Bowl’s opening ceremony. Petite frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is predictably an outspoken critic of Trump and the President’s supporters. During a New Year’s Eve performance two years ago, Armstrong altered the lyrics of the group’s forgettable song “American Idiot” from “I’m not a part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agenda.”
Armstrong, who pathetically still affects a punk hairstyle and attitude even though he is in his mid-50s, has also blasted America as a “miserable f***ing excuse for a country.” In the wake of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, he declared, “F*** America. I’m f***ing renouncing my citizenship.” As always with America-hating celebrities who virtue-signal similar contempt for the country and for the citizens who made them rich and famous, he has not followed through on this promise. He still lives in the country he openly despises.
These are the anti-Americans the NFL chose to entertain American football fans in the biggest game – the biggest cultural event – of the year. The NFL hates you.
Like baseball, football is a quintessentially American game. Elsewhere in the world, “football” refers to soccer, a game in which players hurl themselves to the ground in faux agony anytime a breeze blows; on our shores, football refers to gridiron combat waged by squads of modern gladiators. The NFL may be lusting after a bigger international audience – the 2024 game saw a 10% increase in non-U.S. viewership compared to prior years, reflecting expanding interest abroad – but their globalist greed threatens to undercut their American core audience. No true American football fan wants to see a halftime show featuring a non-English-speaking rapper flouncing around in a dress and celebrating LGBTQ “icons,” whoever they are. The only people who want to see that are gender ideologues who don’t know a first down from a touchdown, and who get a thrill up their leg at the idea of queering – subverting – an institution as American as apple pie (yes, I know apple pie originated in England, but it has flourished here ever since colonial times as an American staple and symbol). Like Bad Bunny himself, they are gloating over the idea of repelling ordinary Americans and conquering another territory in the culture war.
If the NFL wants to thumb its nose at real Americans in order to court a foreign audience, then they don’t deserve us. Boycott this upcoming Super Bowl, and continue to boycott the NFL until it proves its loyalty to America and abandons its globalist, politically progressive agenda.

As long as their going to have Bad Bunny for their Halftime Show were going to find something else to watch
I think the Flash Point tv show (on channel 265 on dish tv) is going to have a half time show for normal people.
Perhaps you are referring to the Turning Point U.S.A. half-time show.
I will personally boycot the game. Asbjorn
I’m not going to watch the Super Bowl. Big waste of time. The most outstanding feature of the radio, TV, or computer is the OFF switch.
I’ve been here for 40 years and haven’t watched a Superbowl yet! Give me rugby every time!
Have not watched a Super Bowl since some burr-headed clown didn’t know if he should stand with his hand over his heart or kneel. Helluva case of bad parenting and gross stupidity. Don’t intend to see another Super Bowl or support the NFL in any way, shape, or form.
I’ve noticed that almost all popular music sucks. Even the popular music from when I was younger. People only listen to it and think it’s good because it gets pushed. Nobody in the entire world would listen to Bad Bunny or M&M and say “Wow! That’s great music” if they just heard it and didn’t know who the artists were. They dress and act like complete fucking retards and somehow everyone thinks it’s cool. This has been going for long time and really accelerated since MTV and then the internet. There was a time, at least, when musicians had to play live for some time before getting recognition. It’s one reason why I only listen to classical music, the other reason is because I like it. Avoid popular culture mind control.
I AGREE WITH YOU 100%
Fat chance anyone would boycott the Super Bowl.
For the price of tickets ( and the price for parking, food and beverages-I hear ) are only
affordable by the rich and famous! The current football commissioner is Looney Tunes!
I boycott the super bowl.
There are still some conservatives with principles.
All well and good. So instead of 120million watching there will be 119 million. I’m saying that people will watch regardless and put aside the idiotic half time show.
You may be right, nevertheless that would be wrong.
I agree with you, I am 86 yrs old and don’t watch that kind of garbage.Praise the Lord instead.
I quit watching all pro sports that allowed players to bend the knee when the Star Spangle Banner was played. As a Combat Vet I despise actions like these, but America allows peaceful protests, which ids a right (unlike the BLM riots and the ICE protests in Minnesota).
All of these protesters need to be drafted into a real war like WW II, Korea, Vietnam etc. It would give these shit heads a whole new level of reality.
Well said Mark. Unfortunately fans by the millions will watch this dreck to their own detriment.
Singing the “Black” national anthem has not stopped them. Kneeling has not stopped them. Rediculous end zone virtue signaling statements has not stopped them. The NFL has been spitting on its paying customers for some time. What’s next? The Muslim call to prayer?
Bread and circuses…. “are you not entertained?”
Bad Bunny should marry Dylan Mulvaney. Tranny Heaven.
Better still, mob the stage and administer some remedial brain surgery
I hope any of these pampered entertainers tries some shit, like the several that surrounded that one patriot in Minnesota. He put down five all by his lonesome – K.O.ing two.
They’re so brave in a group. What they found out is they’re still chickenshit wussies.
(Bitch Bunny and/or those Green Day pricks wouldn’t last two minutes.)
Roger Goodell has done more to damage the NFL than any other commissioner before him. He is arguably the worst commissioner of the four major leagues. Worse than even Adam Silver.
Paul Tagliabue is rolling in his grave right now.
The woke pandering is one issue, but the biggest problem is how the NFL refs rig games for TV ratings, screwing over small market teams like the Lions and Saints in favor of the big market teams on the coasts and the legacy franchises like the Packers. Oh, man does the NFL LOVE to fix games for the Packers.
Here are the simple facts about the modern NFL:
It is run by the gambling industry.
Refs are ordered to make the “right” calls.
It is rigged from kickoff to the final play.
An NFL team’s money is based off gambling money. The Buffalo Bills, perennial losers, were sold for $1.4 billion. That’s right, the Buffalo Bills.
The NFL is a bad joke. It can go die along with the WNBA and ESPN.
The NFL isn’t a sports league, it’s an Entertainment Spectacle.
The NFL argued that in court when it won a lawsuit against a fan, who when the NFL went on strike, sued because that fan “was promised a sporting competition” and the NFL countered that the ticket was for an “Entertainment Spectacle” and nothing more.
It’s about as legitimate as Pro Wrestling.
Next time, watch the game and listen to the pre-game “narrative”, which will tell you all about how the game will go.
If you truly believe “It is run by the gambling industry,” “refs are ordered to make the “right” calls, and “It is rigged from kickoff to the final play,” please contact me about some ocean-front property I’m selling in Oklahoma that has unicorns nesting nearby.
Given how many millions of people watch the NFL on tv and at games, it logically appeals to many people. I do not approve of the woke aspects of the NFL.
>It would be considered rampant corruption with numerous indictments
It’s not. There is no federal law on the books preventing the NFL from fixing games.
If a league instructs one of its employees, such as an official, coach or athlete, to influence and/or manipulate an outcome in a certain manner, they are not breaking the law.
I’m an NFL fan and haven’t watched a half time show since the late 1990s. I don’t need no stink’n half time show! .I’m a football purist. Just gimme football without the media twaddle (e.g. commercials, ads, PSAs, etc.)
One of the definers of a society is that society’s concept of beauty.
Music and art show the ‘soul’ of a people. According to the NFL, America is a stink hole of immorality and corruption.
Enjoy the game and the insulting half time ‘show’……if it comes off as is apparently scheduled.
I will watch the StupidBowel…..I always do. But I will most certainly turn the TV off during half time. I want this little fag to get as few ratings as possible.
Go New England Pats.
There you go! That’s how you do it! Who gives a rat’s behind about some half time show? Half time is for a leak and/or a dump and re=loading up on the hot wings and Frank’s Buffalo Wings Hot Sauce or my fav: Suckerpunch Hot Sauce! That sh*t will scorch your stomach and your lungs!! It’s the “grow a pair and man-up” hot sauce!
The “StupidBowel?” So creative. Did you have a snow day today from the elementary school you’re attending?
If it is truly stupid, why do you always watch it? That seems kind of…stupid.
“Stupid” would be wanting lower prices for consumers and supporting increased tariffs.
“Stupid” would be ignoring the predictable, unintended consequences of putting a ceiling on credit card rates or Trump’s really stupid ideas of making mortgages portable. Those who do not understand the obvious problem with making fixed-rate mortgages portable should make Eugenicist Margaret Sanger proud and not reproduce.
Got it now. Another butt hurt Trump hater. Your posts reek of TDS.
Obviously you have a reading comprehension disability. But then you are a trump hating leftist with severe TDS. I guess you don’t really have anything to talk about…..except for the irrelevance only you could care about….mortgage rates, credit card rates, etc. I know you are desperately trying to impress us all with all of the crap you write about, but judging from the amount of down votes you get no one really gives a crap what you say.
Here’s my quote: “I will watch the StupidBowel…..I always do. But I will most certainly turn the TV off during half time. I want this little fag to get as few ratings as possible.”
Your angry little post was very stupid, but typical for a braindead TDSer. Have fun on Superbowel Sunday. watching Bad Bunny, I’m Six
I know nothing about the NFL and haven’t watched tv in decades but I know a lucrative PT Barnum snake oil con when I see one. This heterosexual “singer” is not gay — he’s an opportunist and a pro wrestler: “Bad Bunny began making appearances on WWE programming in 2021 and made his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 37.” He’s wearing a dress for the half-time show because his handlers and paymasters know this “outrage” is guaranteed to infuriate Christians, conservatives, and sports fans into a frothing rage that generates $billions in media exposure and free PR for the show — there is no such thing as “negative” publicity.
This NFL half-time eye poke to “MAGAs” of a straight guy in a dress also rallies the millions of white woke chickiepoos who dominate social media into a woke feeding frenzy of virtue signalling triumphalism (bash that fash!) which also increases corporate media revenue by $billions. So who is responsible for this money-printing PR scheme? I looked it up:
“Jay-Z, through his entertainment company Roc Nation, is primarily responsible for selecting the NFL halftime show performers since their partnership with the league began in 2019.”
Never heard of him. I have never listened any form of “rap” in the almost 40 years since it was first marketed by corporate music executives hungry for bigger profit markets so they de-throned and de-whited the revenue-exhausted rock music by creating an alternative black and brown global market for new non-white Muzak called “rap” (“hip hop”). Here’s the wiki-poop on “Jay Z”:
“Jay-Z is an American Rapper, Songwriter, Record Producer, Record Executive, Businessman, Media Proprietor, and Actor known for his influential role in hip-hop and his complex lyricism that often uses braggadocio and a rags to riches narrative. He is also the first hip-hop billionaire.”
It’s all about the Benjamins, baby. (A phrase apparently coined by “American rapper Puff Daddy”.) The old tabloid newspaper motto was: If It Bleeds, It Leads. In today’s trillion-dollar global Entertainment Industrial Complex, rap and NLF and guys in dresses are just products like cheese or gadgets or porn. Their new PR motto is: If You Shock It, You’ll Pocket. Ka-ching.
For all the hoopla created around the Super Bowl, I find it to be incredibly boring waste of time. This gives me an additional excuse not to watch it.
Until people start refusing to go to the game and and stop watching on TV. NFL will continue to mock, abuse and take its fans for granted.
I enjoy watching football, boxing and the UFC because of the violence. When they start trying to take the violence out of football, that’s when I’ll stop watching it. Until then, it’s easy to change the channel during timeouts, half time and commercials.
I could care less about the opinions and politics of paid professional athletes. Actions speak louder than words so just shut up and play the game or get it on and fight!
Tapson is a bit late to the party. The NFL hates you? Where has he been? Many bailed out of the NFL nearly a decade ago. Unfortunately, mass media has a way with keeping American audiences locked into its socio-political illusions. But as the saying goes, “believe nothing that you hear and half of what you see.”
The Super Bore.
I last watched it when the GBP won. (My State’s team.)
One hour of play.
Three hours of commercials. (half-time” excluded).
A full day of talk by the “smart” sports people.
What channel is the “Puppy Bowl” 0n this year?
The NFL wants to push hard into Latin America and this a Start to get audiences to watch..Bill Joe. Armstrong should move to country he thinks is better than The USA..Goodel is a front man and the owners should be ashamed for letting/wanting this to happen.. National Fools League
Then the NFL just sold America out for their globalist business and need to get the hell out of our country. High school and college football is all we need.
Football is trying to Bud Lite itself?
Woke businessmen ruin sports.
And everything else they touch.
It should say “Bizzare” instead of “Bazaar”.
If a guy wants to put on a dress and cut off his genitals or pretend his genitals have disappeared and call himself a girl, fine. He can call himself whatever he wants.
But he is not a girl. He is just a guy in a dress. He has no talent, no special abilities and no accomplishments worthy of admiration.
The rest of us should not be compelled to join in his delusion.
And we certainly don’t have to put him on the cover of a magazine, celebrate him like he is some kind of hero, let him perform in front of millions of people or give him a parade.
He is just a guy in a dress.
Let’s save the celebrations, parades and hero worship for people who have actually done something.
i can’t believe the NFL would be so stupid as to put a guy in a dress on its Super Bowl Halftime show. I guess I am wrong. I will not be watching. The NFL destroying itself.
In many Politically Correct homes all over America there is a sign in the window that says:
SCIENCE IS REAL.
The last time I checked, biology is a science.
No butt pirate show for me.
If parents put up with truth inoculating schools for the sake of athletic programs, what do we think is going to happen?
I quit the NFL when they disrespected our flag. Won’t ever go back.
I watch the football game. I haven’t watched the half time shows for years. They are either boring or tasteless.
The bar for what is called entertainment has hit the ground.
So time to go out and get a pizza, salad, soda and dessert.
I don’t usually watch the Superbore, not being a football fan, but I’ve a couple of grandsons who are thrilled that the Patriots are in it; I will watch so I can talk with them about the game. And I will warn their dad to turn off the half-time show, and mute the commercials.
I am so sorry that I can’t boycott the NFL over this, I haven’t watched a game since Kraprenick and I don’t miss it at all. I’ve got better things to do with my time. If you don’t love, leave it. NO DEMS-NO RINOS-MAGA OR ELSE!!
