In the latest swirl of irony and eyebrow-raising decisions, the NFL just took another shot with a Super Bowl halftime act that’s as divisive as it is entertaining. They picked Bad Bunny, whose music might not be blasting from every pick-up truck in America, but it sure knows how to ruffle some feathers. This Puerto Rican sensation isn’t particularly fond of America, Donald Trump, or even the English language when it comes to his performances. Yet here he is, headlining one of America’s biggest events, the Super Bowl, and the headlines are buzzing.

It’s a wild twist for the NFL, an organization that seems stuck in a perpetual identity crisis, swinging like a pendulum between traditional values and pop-culture trends. Just a few years back, everyone knew them for the anthem kneeling saga. Remember Colin Kaepernick? He claimed his career wasn’t exactly skyrocketing because he took a knee. The real story? His skills weren’t exactly setting the league on fire. Meanwhile, the NFL is trying to dance back to its roots, inviting veterans and patriots to stand proud for the anthem again.

Now, fans are left scratching their heads at the NFL’s decision, especially since Bad Bunny regularly tours in the U.S. It’s quite entertaining how the NFL manages to turn its biggest annual event into a stage for political dance-offs. It’s the kind of scene you’d expect more at a political rally than a sports halftime show. The juxtaposition of a figure so controversially opposed to some American values being the star attractions is, well, rich. The whole ordeal is like inviting a cat to your dog’s birthday party and expecting them to get along swimmingly.

While sports enthusiasts feel like the NFL should represent unity and entertainment, this decision speaks more to dividing lines. Whether you’re a fan of Bad Bunny or a card-carrying member of the opposition, you can probably agree this Super Bowl will be anything but ordinary. One can only hope that future halftime selections won’t be such stark lessons in contradiction and the curious choices made when sports try to mix with politics. Although, if these are the new rules of the game, they better make it clear if earplugs and popcorn are mandatory.
