Many were triggered by the Bad Bunny halftime show at Super Bowl LX, largely because it became the latest fuel for the American outrage and counter outrage machine. Some complained to the FCC about the supposedly profane nature of the lyrics they loudly complained they didn’t understand anyway, because they weren’t in English.
Whatever the language, an initial FCC review concluded that the show didn’t violate applicable decency regulations.
Via Charles Gasparino of the New York Post, the FCC determined that the songs sung weren’t blue. They were, as Gasparino puts it, “scrubbed of lyrics that normally include references to sex acts and genitalia.”
But for the revisions, there could have been a problem. Regardless, changes were made (like they were in past halftime shows, as recently as Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl LIX), and the matter is closed “barring further evidence.”

Hah hah. Okay then.
Whew, it was good, wholesome family entertainment after all. Good to know.
FCC: “We don’t want to open this can of worms.”
Who is running things there—Andrew Dice Clay?
LatinX
FCC: We actually looked at this, and found no overt violations of our regulations.
If anyone its the people of Puerto Rico who should be offended. A country’s rural culture is the value core of its civilization. Bad Bunny’s show depicted rural Puerto Rico as decadent and depraved.
So any level of obscene language is allowed as long as it is in Spanish instead of English?
Only, the lyrics posted were from the studio album versions and not the toned-down lyrics used for the performance.
This so-called "conservative influencer" even conceded as much.
Still, the tweet burned like wildfire.
And here we are.
Can’t translate the vulgar perverted Spanglish Rican into clearly disgusting lyrics— sent over the airwaves and thus a TOTAL violation of FCC licensing law.
Cause what- we need the NBC network for the Winter Olympics, or damned stupid a@@ football.
Cornhole-ing in the sugar cane— sure, there are sooooo many cane fields in Rico land.... not. Rowcrops.. veggies, tropicals... the sugah done gwine away. The last cane sugar/sugar refinery in PR closed in 2003 twenty three years ago. PR imports all of its sugar from... elsewhere, for all those years.
The performance of this fruitcake is of course full of S___T!
Nobody with the FCC is conversant in Spanish? So I guess the tens of millions of Spanish speaking viewers don’t count. Didn’t watch, but did read a translation of the lyrics. Definitely way outside any reasonable community broadcast standard.
Yes, most people had no idea or didn’t care about the lyrics anyway.
Alleging that Big Bunny violated FCC regulations based on lyrics he didn’t even perform on the broadcast was a long shot to begin with.
We knew that we shouldn’t expect wholesome lyrics and songs from a creature who calls himself Bad Bunny and hops around in ladies dresses.
Terrible entertainment, but the NFL is terrible now.
That’s why I gave up on the national felon league.
That tells us all we need to know about the state of America.
He changed the lyrics for the show. Any experienced entertainer knows that you tailor your performance to suit your audience. What he might do in a show of his own where people paid to see him and know what he’s about may not be what he would do in a nationally televised show.
