Republicans Demand Probe into Bad Bunny's Spicy Super Bowl Show
12 Feb
Summary
- GOP lawmakers are demanding investigations into Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance.
- Concerns focus on alleged indecent content and lyrics, primarily in Spanish.
- This follows a pattern of conservative complaints about halftime shows.
Following Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show, right-wing lawmakers have initiated calls for multiple investigations. Representatives Andy Ogles and Randy Fine have written to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), respectively, demanding inquiries into the NFL and NBCUniversal. The complaints largely focus on alleged "indecent content" and "explicit displays" within the performance, with specific criticism directed at lyrics sung in Spanish. These actions echo a recurring trend of conservative backlash against Super Bowl halftime performers, with previous shows by artists like Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, and Shakira also drawing FCC complaints. Despite the outcry, Bad Bunny's performance garnered strong ratings, ranking as the fourth most-watched halftime show in history and receiving positive reviews internationally. The controversy highlights an ongoing cultural debate surrounding artistic expression during major televised events.
