Amid NFL Community’s Criticism of Bad Bunny
Troy Aikman Defends Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Spot
Backlash Over NFL’s Choice
Controversy erupted after parts of the NFL community called Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime booking a “mistake,”
arguing the event should feature artists tied to football culture.
Aikman’s Strong Response
Dallas Cowboys legend Troy Aikman silenced critics with his defense of the Puerto Rican superstar.
“Bad Bunny being selected to perform at the Super Bowl says it all — he’s not just a singer, but a true artist,” Aikman said.
“The Super Bowl isn’t just football; it’s also a global cultural event where music and sports intersect.”

Fans React
Aikman’s words went viral, prompting many former critics to agree that the Halftime Show reaches far beyond football fans.
Why It Matters
As one of the world’s biggest Latin stars,
Bad Bunny’s inclusion signals the NFL’s push toward global appeal —
and Aikman’s support adds powerful credibility to that vision.
