Rick Pitino issues direct message to Bad Bunny after Super Bowl LX halftime show

 Daily Express US  

"St. John's Red Storm head coach Rick Pitino made his thoughts on Bad Bunny perfectly clear after the Puerto Rican rapper's Super Bowl LX halftime performance."

"After Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance, St. John's Red Storm head coach Rick Pitino issued an open invitation to the Puerto Rican artist to catch any of their games.

"This followed the wrap-up of the 2025 NFL season, where the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, claiming their second championship. Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, commanded the stage at Levi's Stadium with his entirely Spanish-language halftime show after the opening two quarters.

"His performance, however, drew sharp rebuke from U.S. President Donald Trump, though Tom Brady didn't share the President's view. Trump vented his frustration on Truth Social, branding it the worst Super Bowl halftime show ever.

" 'The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!" Trump posted.

"It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn't represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World."

"Despite the criticism, Pitino, who formerly guided the Puerto Rican national team, was genuinely impressed by Bad Bunny’s showing. Rick Pitino turned to X to share his enthusiasm, posting: "As someone who spent time in Puerto Rico as their National Coach, watching Bad Bunny at halftime was awesome. @sanbenito you have a seat on the Johnnies bench anytime. Viva Puerto Rico!" . . .

In Latin America, many detested that Bad Bunny performance - Monica Showalter   "Unlike non-Spanish-speaking north Americans, Spanish-speaking Latin Americans actually heard the lyrics loud and clear, experiencing the show very differently from the candy-puff-minded wokesters in the press who declared it wholesome stuff.

"Most said it represented a Hollywood-valued approach that had nothing to do with their own cultures, which have not experienced this sort of globalist cultural corruption, and who want no part of it. They resented being lumped in with this insulting, obscene, gibberish under the header 'Latino' whose values sure as heck don't represent them.

But for those who understood the actual lyrics, meaning, Latin Americans who speak Spanish, and Latinos in the U.S., it was another story. foul language:" . . .


In Latin America, many detested that Bad Bunny performance - American Thinker

"Here's a sampling of X responses from actual Latin Americans, and Latino Americans, for whom this nasty act supposedly catered, often using the typically blunt language of the region. Hit Grok Translate on the X site to see the English translation: . . ."
Somehow I feel it is not far from accurate to remark that this generation removed their pro-Hamas keffiyehs to don a sombrero for this dance party.
