All year long, we hear fans argue which sport is better: Some say football, some say baseball, and some say basketball. But all it took to bring together all the fans was one appearance from Puerto Rican rapper, Bad Bunny, during the Yankees and Blue Jays game.

Rapper Bad Bunny made an appearance in the stands during Game 3 of the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees. As per reports by TMZ, the problem happened when the Yankees Stadium played ‘God Bless America’. As posted on X by Jack, “BREAKING: Bad Bunny reportedly spotted SITTING DOWN during the National Anthem at the Yankees game, per TMZ. This is who is performing on the biggest stage in the country… The Super Bowl.”

Bad Bunny allegedly sparked controversy at a Yankees game by not standing during the American National Anthem. Fans noticed him sitting while the crowd sang along, and photos allegedly captured the moment for TMZ. This gesture, though subtle, reignited debates over patriotism and cultural expression in sports settings.

The discussion intensified after his Super Bowl halftime announcement, where he joked fans could “learn Spanish” before his performance.

Allegedly, his preference for Spanish lyrics and past concerns about ICE during U.S. tours reminded audiences of his cultural stance. Fans who follow him closely may feel proud, while some casual viewers might feel disconnected from the non-English performance.

Politicians also reacted.

President Donald Trump called the selection “absolutely ridiculous” on Newsmax, and Mike Johnson advocated Lee Greenwood instead for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. These comments could influence some audiences, yet Bad Bunny’s SNL statements highlighted Latino cultural contributions confidently and humorously.

Ultimately, viewership for Super Bowl LX may see mixed reactions as fans navigate curiosity, cultural pride, and lingering controversy.

USA sports fans angered after Bad Bunny allegedly creates more problems

Just when sports fans thought the drama belonged on the field, another storm hit the stands. Between the NFL’s bold Super Bowl pick and a Yankees game that turned unexpectedly political, emotions are running higher than ticket prices. Bad Bunny, the man caught in the middle of it all, somehow turned a seventh-inning stretch into a national debate.

One user commented, “The @NFL needs to seriously rethink their decision. This guy is pure trash.” The remark came under the post claiming Bad Bunny was sitting during the U.S. national anthem at the Yankees game. The commenter also predicted, “It will be the least watched Halftime Show ever.” This reaction reflects how the singer’s alleged actions have drawn criticism ahead of his upcoming Super Bowl performance.

Another user remarked, “F— this clown. @NFL going to self-destruct if they allow him to perform.” It reflects growing online backlash following his earlier remark that fans might need to learn Spanish before his Super Bowl show. Such reactions have raised questions about whether the controversy could affect viewership during the halftime performance.

That led to suggestions from fans, too. “Hey @NFL, how about you change your halftime show plans? I’m sure you will find plenty of artists who are also decent Americans.” It highlights criticism aimed at both the NFL and the artist’s selection for the Super Bowl halftime show. The NFL might take inspiration from the 2007 show by Prince, which is still considered one of the best halftime shows of all time.

“Please, people, boycott the NFL… I know it’s hard, but it will be worth it.” The comment called for a collective boycott of the NFL in response to the controversy surrounding the performer. The post reflects how some online reactions have escalated from criticism to urging organized action against the league’s decision. Just like in 2020, when several NBA teams boycotted the playoffs after a major incident in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

One user posted, “@NFL great choice. This move will backfire and cost you a lot.” It implies that the league’s decision to feature him at the Super Bowl could generate controversy. The remark reflects audience expectations that the choice may lead to criticism or reduced support for the NFL.

Even as fans debate patriotism, Bad Bunny’s cultural influence remains undeniable across sports and music stages. The NFL may face criticism, but curiosity and controversy ensure its halftime show stays highly anticipated. Whether viewers cheer, critique, or learn Spanish, Bad Bunny has already made the Super Bowl unforgettable.
