Americans were forced to sit through one of their biggest cultural events of the year in a language that is not theirs, surrounded by symbols of other, foreign places.
The Super Bowl is supposed to be one of the cultural cornerstones in American life that still belongs to Americans. There are only a handful of days each year when most of the country pauses and gathers around the same screen to participate in something recognizably ours. It’s a shared experience — rooted in common language and culture and tradition. Which is why the Super Bowl half time show this year was a clear display of pure contempt for America.
Football is not a global sport that just ended up in the United States. It was created right here at home in the 1880s by Walter Camp. It was a sport created by Americans, for Americans. The NFL remains overwhelmingly domestic both in its players and its fanbase. In other words, football isn’t some international pastime. It’s one of the last mass cultural institutions that is distinctly American.
Yet, this year’s halftime performance by Puerto Rican singer “Bad Bunny” was conducted almost entirely in Spanish. His songs celebrated Puerto Rican — not American — culture. At the end of his performance, he exited the stage followed by one American flag and several foreign flags, holding a football that read “We are all America” while a giant screen read “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” And, given his recent “F[---] ICE” comments at the Grammys, it’s clear the message of his performance was that defense of sovereignty and national culture and rejection of its replacement would be framed as hatred.
Americans were forced to sit through one of their biggest cultural events of the year in a language that is not theirs, surrounded by symbols of other, foreign places. The audience was not invited into a shared civic experience. Instead, they were required to bear witness to the replacement of their own culture.
This wasn’t accidental, either. While speaking in October, Bad Bunny, who has only Spanish-language songs, addressed Americans directly: “If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.” The burden wasn’t on the performer to meet or assimilate to the audience, but rather on the audience — Americans — to adapt to a foreign language or be left behind during their own cultural event.
That same message was delivered on the stage on Sunday.
And this isn’t merely my own interpretation of the event. The Miami Herald’s Amanda Rose praised the show for transforming the field into a “Puerto Rican sugarcane field where aspects of Puerto Rican life were around every corner” and concluding that “the halftime show was a sweeping celebration of Puerto Rican culture.” That description matters because it confirms that the intent of the performance was to replace a uniquely American culture with a foreign one.
And that’s where the humiliation comes in.
Across the country, Americans are being guilted out of their God-given right to sovereignty. They’re told by activists, celebrities, athletes, Democrats, and the propaganda press that borders are illegitimate. That the enforcement of longstanding, duly enacted federal immigration law is racist and xenophobic and anti-American. Foreigners wave the flags of countries they refuse to return to in our streets while demanding the right to stay. Activist judges block deportations and openly undermine federal authority on behalf of illegal aliens.
And all of this was legitimized on the stage on Sunday.
A foreign language replaced our national language, English. Foreign flags overshadowed the American one. Foreign culture was elevated during a traditional American experience. At the same time Americans are being told they have no right to enforce their own laws and to defend their sovereignty, they were forced to sit and watch the symbolic replacement of their country and culture.
And that’s humiliating.
Americans were not forced to do any such thing.
Turn off the ‘effing TV and get a life.
Forced to sit through? Aren’t they bright enough to know what and off button is?
LOL!
That’s easily the most realistic Foosball table ever.
“Americans were forced to sit through one of their biggest cultural events of the year”
No one forced me to do anything. I didn’t watch any of that trash and cleaned the house...
Yep.
And I didn’t partake.

Football is Dead.
“Eh! Eh! Eh!...”
Yeah, that’s a great. That whole routine, starts with “I used to be Irish Catholic, now I’m American, you grow, you change”.
Maybe that’s a fault with past Super Bowls.
Didn’t see that. But hey people make out. I found out the wedding bit was real. That’s fun. Really people, relax.
Maybe they should get Rammstein to do the next Super Bowl:
We’re all living in Amerika.
Amerika ist wunderbar.
We’re all living in Amerika,
Amerika, Amerika.
Hahahahahahahahaha! I am saving that link!
It makes me snicker every time I come across it!
Good points.
Screw that.

Was this the pickup truck where two men were humping (or simulating sex) behind the open door?
