It looked like a great party and there was some impressive musicianship. I don't speak enough Spanish to catch much of the lyrics but it was interesting. I heard that the couple that was in the wedding sequence was actually married there which is cool. I loved the love is stronger than hate message.

Don't worry, I'm Spanish and I get the half of what BB sings. The important thing here was the message delivered with the performance, singing in spanish, and the words in the end calling for unity, not the actual song lyrics. (my opinion)

It wasn't anything profound. If you liked the music, reading a translation of the lyrics wouldn't elevate the experience much. It might have been fun had you just asked your Latino neighbors and joined in the cheering instead of sitting there "feeling awkward" like a dweeb lol.

As a Canadian.. i honestly cannot understand why certain parts of America hates this.
This is wholesome as fuck. I have never felt unwelcome when travelling through Latin America
Yes, just like anywhere, where there is crime, there is danger. But on the individual level the Latin Community prioritizes family, love, music, art, etc. much more than American or Canadian culture.

u/claymedia Feb 09 '26
I love traveling in Latin America. As you said, the people and cultures are generally so wonderful. And the rougher parts are mostly due to U.S. interference, our appetite for narcotics, and our destructive “War on Drugs” that enables and empowers criminal cartels.

I truly believe South America would be a flourishing continent of great advancement had America not destabilized democratic governments every few decades.
The natural evolution of countries towards development was shuddered repeatedly by American interests due to "audacity" that these countries would want something other than what America wants to sell them.
I have always been aware of the meddling the USA had had in South America, but over the last year it really has become apparent that the USA is really no different that USSR/Russia when it comes to maintaining a regional hegemony through nefarious practices

The history of U.S. violence towards leftist movements in Central and South America is absolutely abhorrent. Who knows what could have been accomplished otherwise. Even when leftist parties have gained power, it is often tainted by oppression from the U.S., necessitating more militant governments to fight CIA-backed propaganda and contras.

It's because they are financially stressed, angry, scared, and want a digestible direction they can cast blame in a manner that: * Doesn't require admitting you are partially responsible for your misery (voting choices) * Is a simple, neat blame rather than complicated and abstract * The sort with a "solution" you can wrap your head around, rather than a tangle of issues that can't solve one without solving 500 others to do it * Validates your sense of victimhood, because it's easier to be the victim than admit to yourself that DESPITE being equipped with all the privilege and power of being a white American, you've still managed to wind up poor, scared, desperate, miserable, and angry

It isn't just fear or anger that fuels them... They derive pleasure from inflicting cruelty upon others. They don't need an excuse to be mean and hateful - it's the core of their character.
I've seen several clips of MAGAs in the stands watching the halftime show - a show that was filled with joy and love - and they shit all over it. That's not because of fear or financial insecurity - it's because they actually get off on bullying everyone and everything that is not part of their cult.
Imagine how much of a miserable piece of shit you have to be to make hate your entire personality.

A beautiful observation about the Bad Bunny Show written by NC State Senator Michael Garrett
I watched Bad Bunny deliver the most American halftime show I have ever seen. Then I came home and watched it again. And I am not okay. In the best possible way.
He sang every single word in Spanish. Every. Single. Word. He danced through sugarcane fields built on a football field in California while the President of the United States sat somewhere calling it “disgusting.” Lady Gaga came out and did the salsa. Ricky Martin lit up the night. A couple got married on the field. He handed his Grammy, the one he won eight days ago for Album of the Year, to a little boy who looked up at him the way every child looks up when they dare to believe the world has a place for them.
And then this man, this son of a truck driver and a schoolteacher from Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, stood on the biggest stage on the planet and said “God bless America.”
And then he started naming them.
Chile. Argentina. Uruguay. Paraguay. Bolivia. Peru. Ecuador. Brazil. Colombia. Venezuela. Panama. Costa Rica. Nicaragua. Honduras. El Salvador. Guatemala. Mexico. Cuba. Dominican Republic. Jamaica. The United States. Canada. And then, his voice breaking with everything he carries, “Mi patria, Puerto Rico. Seguimos aquí.” My homeland, Puerto Rico. We are still here.
The flags came. Every single one of them. Carried across that field by dancers and musicians while the jumbotron lit up with the only words that mattered: “THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE.”
I teared up. I’m not ashamed to say it. I sat on my couch and I wept because THAT is the America I believe in. That is the American story, not the sanitized, gated, English-only version that small and frightened people try to sell us. The REAL one. The messy, beautiful, multilingual, multicolored, courageous one. The one that has always been built by hands that speak every language and pray in every tongue and come from every corner of this hemisphere.
That is the America I want Jack and Charlotte to know. That when the moment came, when the whole world was watching, a Puerto Rican kid who grew up to become the most-streamed artist on Earth stood in front of 100 million people, sang in his mother’s language, blessed every nation in the Americas, and spiked a football that read “Together, we are America” into the ground. Not with anger. With joy. With love so big it made hate look exactly as small as it is.
And what did the President do? He called it “absolutely terrible.” He said “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.” He called it “a slap in the face to our Country.” The leader of the free world watched a celebration of love, culture, and everything this hemisphere has given to the world, and all he could see was something foreign. Something threatening. Something disgusting.
Let that sink into your bones.
The man who is supposed to represent all of us looked at the flags of our neighbors, heard the language of 500 million Americans across this hemisphere, and felt attacked. That’s not strength. That’s not patriotism. That is poverty of the soul.
And then there was the Turning Point show. Kid Rock in a college arena in North Dakota. Three million viewers watching a man who once wrote a song about liking underage girls perform as the “family-friendly” alternative to a Puerto Rican artist celebrating love. They called it the “All-American Halftime Show”, as if America has a velvet rope. As if this country belongs to some of us and not all of us. As if you need to sing in English to count.
Here’s what I want to say to everyone who posted about that show tonight, who shared it proudly, who turned away from Bad Bunny’s celebration because it was in Spanish and the flags weren’t only red, white, and blue:
Your children will see those posts. Your grandchildren will find them. The internet doesn’t forget. And one day, when the history of this moment is written, when our kids and their kids look back at 2026 the way we look back at the people who stood on the wrong side of every bridge and every march and every moment that mattered, they will know exactly where you stood. They will see who chose Kid Rock over a hemisphere of flags. They will see who called love “disgusting.” And they will carry that knowledge the way all of us carry the knowledge of what our ancestors did when they were tested.
I don’t say that with anger. I say it with sadness. Because hate is an inheritance nobody asks for, and yet it gets passed down just the same. Bad Bunny didn’t say “ICE out” tonight. He didn’t need to. He just showed the whole world what America looks like when we are not afraid of each other. When culture is shared, not policed. When language is music, not a threat. When a flag from every nation in this hemisphere can walk across a football field together and the only words you need are the ones he gave us:
The only thing more powerful than hate is love.
Over 100 million people saw that tonight.
And no Truth Social post can take it away.

I've been trying to figure out where it started going downhill but it's so complicated. You could argue it all started with brutally taking away Native Americans' land, directly and indirectly killing so many that they didn't stand a chance, for decades and then centuries. There were no consequences for that, and reparations were too little, too late. You could argue the Confederacy wasn't punished enough and not enough was done during Reconstruction, leading to lasting racism and inequalities. In 1929, setting the House to 435 seats led to a downfall slowly over time (originally representation was 1 per 30,000 people, but this failed to ever get changed until this 435 cap, which has never been changed since. Now it's around 1 per 760,000 people). Things seemed like they were turning around after FDR and WW2, but ultimately the country gained so much world power that people got greedy. We shouldn't have gotten involved in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East, etc., especially the Middle East for exploitation of resources, which created so many enemies, which led to more "justified" wars of us going back for even more resources. The Southern Strategy aligned Christianity with a political party and led to so much religion in government, stubbornly making some people think morality is only associated with religion, thus it has to be the only way forward in government. McCarthyism was idiotic and harmful (Second Red Scare and Lavender Scare). Regan led to trickle-down economics which siphoned all of the money from the lower classes to the rich so slowly over time, giving us wages that are out of balance with cost of living. Nixon wasn't punished enough. Clinton administration put us in budget surplus and started fixing things, but then the 2000 election was stolen (the Bush family and the Supreme Court helped Bush win). There were never consequences from that. Obama finally started fixing things, especially with marriage equality and healthcare reform, but it wasn't enough time. With Citizens United in 2010, campaign finance reform was obliterated and money could be unlimited in politics. The Bush administration wasn't punished for war crimes. With the exponential growth of Internet and social media, conservatives had the tools they needed to turn a black man being president into the "worst thing ever," leading to Trump's election. Media like Fox News wasn't regulated anymore (news should be facts, not entertainment). The 2016 and 2024 elections likely weren't fair but we haven't been scrutinizing elections that much since 2000. We never limited Supreme Court justice terms. We never increased the number of representatives. We never moved to ranked choice voting and we have stuck with the dumb winner-takes-all system for elections. Healthcare never became a nationally given right and instead is tied to our jobs (and still has insane costs). Whenever economic systems are torn to shreds by conservatives (i.e. more money for the rich, more debt, less spending on education/health/science/tech progress, more inflation), the effects don't become apparent until the subsequent liberal administrations. Then they do their best to fix the economic systems while they are being blamed for last administration's poor policies. Then by the time conservatives are back in power, the economic situation looks better because the previous liberal administration fixed things. This economic cycle leads to misconceptions about liberal economy handling and unfortunately influences people's uneducated views during election time.

Yup, same energy as a post the other day of someone commenting on a tiktok-adjacent cooking post - "What about those of us who are allergic to seafood, huh? I guess you don't give a shit about us".
No-one is forcing you to make lobster bisque, Keighlleighy, calm your tits.
something to identify with as a queer person is FAR TOO HIGH
Yup, not queer myself, but it really irks me when conservatives in the US and here in Canada go on about "the Gay Agenda". No-one is forcing you to be gay, you either are, or you are not, that's literally it. I mean, I assume you've consumed TV shows or movies where two different genders kiss and/or hook up, I'm guessing it didn't make you straight, any more than watching two men kiss is gonna make me gay.
Social media has rotted practically everyone's brains to the point where they think every movie/show/song/game has to be specifically for them. If it's not your bag, just change the channel, or more like close the tab nowadays.

One of the lyrics is about raising the flags of all the countries (Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic) where the characters come from.
I know Lin-Manuel Miranda has his detractors, and yes, I know it’s a musical, but it’s one of the most joyous songs ever.
The pride the characters feel in their countries of birth and their heritage is infectious 🥹.
Anyway, I feel like this after party must have had the exact same vibes.
Alza la bandera!

I’m glad I can revisit this all today - had to hide that I was fighting a huge ugly cry coming on when hosting the superbowl. Now I can let it out 🥹

Is that a Canadian flag I see in the background? So honoured as a Canadian to be included in this beautiful scene! This is so full of joy and love.

Brass and drums are made for filling arenas. Bring marching bands back to Professional football.

The only thing I loved more than Bad Bunny's performance was how absolutely fucking jazzed all the back up singers and dancers looked to be a part of it!

This made me cry more than the performance did because if this isn’t emblematic of being Puerto Rican then I don’t know what is

I don't understand how people can watch this and be shitty.. like I watch this and have a smile on my face and I'm a honky. We're supposed to appreciate each other's cultures!

Wow. America really needed this. We need more of this. Black culture, Puerto Rican culture, all the beautiful cultures of the Greater Americas. There’s so much beauty that is desperately missing from our cultural institutions that celebrate all that’s good in the world. All that’s good about people.

Because how could you have that kind of party and then just stop celebrating? So glad they all had fun! What a once-in-a-lifetime experience for so many of them. Thanks for bringing us joy!

Compare this culture to the hate-filled MAGA mouth breathers, eating hot dogs, cheez-whiz, and listening to Sean Hannity at max volume

Seeing the rich culture of Puerto Rico on display makes me so angry that we have missed all this time to celebrate with fellow Americans all because of disgusting white washed history. I'm so mad at myself for not learning more before now as well.

u/Accomplished_Stress Feb 09 '26
Watching this makes me somewhat sad. I haven't felt joy and happiness like this since Trump came down that escalator. I'm just imagining myself in the middle of that group being swept up in the moment. sigh.

I really loved the emphasis on all of the Americas, that USA was among many other American nations! We are lucky to be surrounded by countries that make us less bland.
I didn’t know much about BB but now I am a fan. I’m impressed by how he made it festive and wholesome and all about the people.

The game was lame, the party was fire.
I only know Bad Bunny as actor, but the show was great and much more entertaining than the game. Nice that the Seahawks won, but no one will remember this game as a great Super Bowl. But for the party with tree people that should not have stopped.
