Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show Divides Fans Over Bad Bunny's Political Views

The upcoming Super Bowl LVI halftime show has sparked controversy, with co-hosts of 'The View' mocking Trump supporters over Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny's selection. The NFL's choice of the Latin trap and reggaeton artist, known for his political views, has divided fans.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio MartΓ­nez Ocasio, has a history of criticising President Donald Trump. He previously refused to tour the U.S. due to concerns about immigration raids at his concerts. Despite this, he agreed to perform at the Super Bowl, stating he wanted to represent his people and their history.

The NFL's decision to feature a predominantly Spanish-language artist at a major American football event has upset some 'MAGA' supporters, who are primarily fans of Donald Trump and the 'Make America Great Again' movement. They expressed their disapproval on social media, with some even calling for a boycott of the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, the hosts of 'The View' mocked these supporters, suggesting they might disapprove if the NFL picked a country star or a musician supportive of Trump.

Bad Bunny's performance could draw in viewers who wouldn't typically tune in to the Super Bowl, potentially increasing its global audience. However, if he turns his performance into a political statement about ICE or Trump, he risks alienating some viewers.

The Super Bowl LVI halftime show, featuring Bad Bunny, has sparked debate and controversy among fans. While some are upset, others are excited about the prospect of a diverse and politically charged performance. The NFL's investment in increasing global fandom through its halftime show choices continues to make headlines and engage audiences.
