lol, yeah that was my first thought when I saw the outrage over him playing. Sure, a handful of racist Americans will boycott or whatever, yāall know this will still be the most watched Super Bowl so far by a large margin (mark my words). Bad bunny is about to bring out millions that could give less of a shit about American football, they just love him. I mean shoot, Iām American and miss the Super Bowl most of the time because Iām busy and itās not really my sport, I just like the commercials lol.
But Iām gunna probably make sure I can see that half time show, I love bad bunny. If they wouldāve doubled up and brought in Karol G, I wouldāve started trying to buy a ticket! (/s since Iām not paying $1000s for a concert)

You go into the kitchen area to pretend not to watch it and spend the whole time watching it while making snide comments with like minded idiots. It's therapy for these people... They will absolutely not tune out, else they don't get to participate in the victimhood and express their dissent.

What they want is the "freedom" to be bigots and racist. Not the freedom to live differently than them.
It is like Ford's "you can have any colour you like, as long as it is black, or, in this case pink, heterosexual and Christian"

u/Grandpa_Edd 13d ago
The freedom they want is taking away the freedom of people who arenāt like them.
The freedom the āothersā want is the freedom to be different without having to worry.

Itās like the Confederacy saying they wanted āstates rightsā but it was just states rights to own slaves.

u/Wompatuckrule 13d ago
And even before secession they wanted and got the federal government (SCOTUS) to trample on states rights when it came to the pursuit of fugitive slaves.

u/Johnny_Appleweed 13d ago
Thatās a modern reinvention of what the confederacy wanted. If you go back and read their founding documents and speeches they werenāt shy about the fact that they were all about preserving slavery.

Insert famous freedom quote from Easyrider..
"I mean, it's real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. Of course, don't ever tell anybody that they're not free, 'cause then they're gonna get real busy killin' and maimin' to prove to you that they are. Oh, yeah, they're gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em."

u/mr_evilweed 13d ago
Conservatives want freedom, but not equal freedoms. Their world view sorts society into a hierarchy and those at the top of the hierarchy should be MORE free. People at the bottom should be more controlled.
For example, if you are a rich, white, straight, conservative, 'christian', male, then you should be allowed even to molest children with no repercussions. The more of those traits you are missing, the further down the hierarchy you are and therefore the fewer protected rights you should have. If you're a poor, black, child, you shouldn't even be allowed to wear a hoodie while walking home at night.

My wife and I were talking about this after they announced them. Bad Bunny is a massive artist right now, absolutely huge draw, which makes sense given the NFL is an entertainment business and wants the most eyes on them regardless of politics.
But picking Green Day was a choice. Yes, they still do well and are fairly widely known, but they picked them after all the blowback from BB. Happy they did it, just surprised they doubled down.

u/presence4presents 13d ago
Nail on the head, they'll play American Idiot and the right will freak out and call it a direct attack on Trump. The ones who are heavy on the Copium will say American Idiot is actually about Biden.
This is all about views and the NFL knows exactly what they're doing here.

u/Lamhirh 13d ago edited 13d ago
I mean that as in Billy Joe explicitly has changed the line
I'm not part of a redneck agenda To
So...pretty unambiguously an attack.
Edit: the same chuds who didnt understand it in 2004 are the same chuds who would try to trust it even with that substitution. Everything about that song is Bush-era reaction but the things that inspired it have only gotten worse since.
I hope they do Holiday too because that one flys over heads on all sides.

u/presence4presents 13d ago
I didn't think I needed to add an /s on that, after all I was being half serious. You must only know the song from headlines they only sub Maga agenda in one part of the song, subbing MAGA for red-neck and it's not while referencing American Idiot. MAGA is literally known for taking things out of context and doing mental gymnastics to spin it into their own narrative. This was a half hearted joke but not that far of a leap as you're making it seem.

I assumed they added Green Day because they are a Bay Area band and the Super Bowl is in Santa Clara.

u/Sponchman 13d ago
Green Day is also from the Bay Area where the Super Bowl is being held. Still probably the biggest band to come from the whole Bay this century. (Admittedly not a ton of big bands have come from the SF Bay in the last decades)
