Brett Favre, the Pro Football Hall of Famer, recently made headlines by announcing his choice for the Super Bowl halftime show. He revealed his decision via social media, stating he would not be tuning in to watch Latin trap artist Bad Bunny.
Instead, Favre expressed his intention to enjoy the alternative “All-American” halftime show hosted by Turning Point USA (TPUSA). He mentioned his lack of familiarity with Bad Bunny’s music and indicated a preference for artists like Lee Brice and Kid Rock, who will also perform during the TPUSA event.
Brett Favre’s Halftime Show Choice
Favre’s announcement aligns with the sentiments of other conservative figures who are voicing their disapproval of the NFL’s selection of Bad Bunny for the official halftime performance. Among these individuals are fellow NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and former ESPN host Sage Steele. They have raised concerns regarding the artist’s “woke” beliefs and the implications they carry.
Support from Political Figures
Moreover, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that President Donald Trump would also be watching the “All-American” show. Kid Rock is set to headline this event, which aligns more closely with the preferences of many conservative viewers.

NFL’s Defense of Bad Bunny
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended the choice of Bad Bunny as a performer, emphasizing his global appeal and artistic talents. According to Goodell, Bad Bunny’s presence is aimed at fostering unity through creativity and entertainment.
As Super Bowl LX approaches, favored teams like the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots will compete at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. The event promises to be as much about entertainment as it is about football.
With contrasting views surrounding the halftime performances, this year’s Super Bowl highlights the intersection of sports, culture, and political perspectives.
