The choice of Bad Bunny as the halftime entertainment for Super Bowl LX is a divisive one. The issue could be that some don't see him as an American (Surprise! He is Puerto Rican, which is a territory of the US), or that he sings songs only in Spanish. The irony being that the US was founded on a collection of different cultures and languages.
But if one doesn't like Bad Bunny for his music, fine. That is subjective, and people can like what they want to. Still, someone commenting on him, especially his inclusion at Super Bowl LX, needs to have an awareness of what they say about him performing.
This includes the players and coaches of the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, the two teams involved in the game. Which is why a team representative asking those players or coaches who they think Bad Bunny might have joining him during his performance can be tricky.
Patriots' Mike Vrabel might have just given you a reason to cheer for the Seahawks in Super Bowl 60 with his Bad Bunny answer
The New England Patriots recently did this and posted the answers on X. Some of the answers were logical. One player said, "I can't watch it." He's right, of course. He will be in the locker room at halftime as his team is involved in the game. One player said, "Rod Wave."
Another might have had the funniest answer when he said, "Cardi B." The joke is that Cardi B is involved in a relationship with Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The musical artist will likely be at the game anyway, so why not have her out at halftime?
The problem would be that she might be emotionally involved in the game, of course. She should be.
Unfortunately, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel then crosses the field and asks, "Does he normally bring someone out?" The Pats rep says, "Yes," and Vrabel answers, "Like Morgan Wallen?"
Wallen, to be sure, has been accused of some racial stereotypes before. Maybe the allegations aren't right, but if Vrabel knows Wallen well enough to bring him up at a moment's notice, he likely knows the country star's pushback from past incidents.
Maybe Mike Vrabel didn't truly think much about his answer, though it was a poor one. Or worse, maybe he did. There are few musical artists more different than Bad Bunny in terms of political stances.
Vrabel, of course, coaches a team full of players from different backgrounds, but as a coach, he has to see the team beyond individual players. His personal views might be far different than trying to bring people together.
In other words, if you are looking for a team to root for in Super Bowl LX, New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel might have just implied you should cheer for the Seattle Seahawks.
