• Unlike Bad Bunny, The Super Bowl Is Going All-In To Celebrate America

    From Ubiquitous@3:633/10 to All on Sat Jan 31 04:30:45 2026
    Bad Bunny is getting ready to perform the halftime show at the Super
    Bowl ? arguably one of the country?s most American events ? but the
    Puerto Rican singer doesn?t seem too fond of his roots.

    Bad Bunny notably didn?t stand for ?God Bless the USA? at a Yankees
    game last fall and refused to tour in the United States this year after
    he said he didn?t want ICE raiding his concert venues. The global
    superstar has been critical of President Donald Trump, while the Trump administration has made it clear there is a lack of excitement from
    their end for Bad Bunny?s performance.

    Despite that, it seems there will be enough patriotism to go around at
    Super Bowl LX as both teams honor America?s 250th anniversary. The
    Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off with red,
    white, and blue patches that read ?USA 250? on the front of their
    jerseys when the teams take the field on February 8 at Levi?s Stadium
    in Santa Clara, California.

    The NFL unveiled the uniforms on Thursday. The USA 250 patch will be on
    the right side of the Patriots jersey with the Super Bowl LX logo on
    the left.

    The Seahawks will have the celebratory sign under the Super Bowl patch
    on the right side of the jersey across from an anniversary patch
    honoring Seattle?s 50th season in the league.

    Despite being the designated ?away? team, the Seahawks will don their
    home navy uniforms. The Patriots will wear white.

    The teams? jerseys aren?t the only place the United States will be
    honored during America?s biggest football game. ?America 250? will be stenciled on the sidelines of Levi?s Stadium for the big game, just as
    the NFL has done each week since Week 18 of the season.

    The game balls and the ceremonial coins used during the pre-game toss
    and overtime (if necessary) will also have America 250 logos. Per the
    NFL, the coins will be auctioned off for charity on the NFL Auction
    platform.

    NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says football represents America.

    ?The NFL is proud to participate in celebrating America?s 250th
    anniversary,? said Goodell. ?The story of the NFL reflects the story of America, and the American spirit of resilience, innovation and teamwork
    has helped football grow into a cultural pastime that unites us all. We
    are excited to honor our country?s history and celebrate our collective future.?

    Last fall, Goodell said he would not reconsider his choice of Bad Bunny
    for the Super Bowl halftime show even amid significant backlash, saying
    it was ?carefully thought through,? the Associated Press reported.

    President Donald Trump called the decision ?absolutely ridiculous.?

    Goodell defended his choice, referring to Bad Bunny as ?one of the
    leading and most popular entertainers in the world.?

    ?I?m not sure we?ve ever selected an artist where we didn?t have some
    blowback or criticism. It?s pretty hard to do when you have literally
    hundreds of millions of people that are watching,? the NFL commissioner
    added.

    America?s military will have a featured role in this year?s Super Bowl.
    The U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy are conducting a joint flyover
    during the pregame as part of the 250th celebrations. The formation
    will feature two Air Force B-1 Lancers from Ellsworth Air Force Base,
    South Dakota, and two F-15C Eagles from Fresno Air National Guard Base, California, alongside a pair of Navy F/A-18E Super Hornets and two F-
    35C Lightning IIs, from Naval Air Station Lemoore, California. The
    Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs said the flyover is a symbol
    of the nation?s journey and independence.

    The service members who are participating in the flyover will be on
    hand for community events in Santa Clara leading up to game day. Fans
    can view displays of aircraft, watch search and rescue demonstrations,
    and see backseat flights on the F/A-18F with community leaders.

    The star-spangled-themed Super Bowl is another example of how the NFL
    has celebrated milestones in American history.

    In 1976, the NFL celebrated America?s 200th anniversary with special
    helmet decals and jersey patches.

    The Seahawks and Patriots square off Sunday, February 8, at 7:30 p.m.

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.
