The backlash of Bad Bunny being chosen as the Super Bowl halftime show is never-ending. Now, Jason Whitlock is speaking out about it.
Late last month, the former ESPN and Fox commentator told TMZ Live that he called the NFL’s pick straight-up “demonic” and pledged to fight it every step of the way.
The Puerto Rican superstar has felt the full brunt of conservatives since he has taken issues with the President and his immigration policies, most notably ICE deporting illegal immigrants.
During his most recent rant on the topic, Whitlock, the outspoken conservative podcaster, took major issue with the NFL for airing too many ‘gay commercials’ during games.
Whitlock did not like the PayPal ad featuring actor Will Ferrell, who is wearing hair curlers and sitting in a bubble bath, or the DirectTV commercial featuring actors Kumail Nanjiani and Rob McElhenney, who are wearing fur coats and jewelry and sitting way too close to each other on a couch.
In a video titled ‘NFL Commercials More Gay Than Bad Bunny’, Whitlock said: ‘What’s up with all the gay commercials during NFL games?’
Transcribed per the Daily Mail:
‘What are we doing? And you’re wondering why the NFL has booked Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime, this promotion of gender fluidity, this promotion of the LGBTQIA+ silent P crowd. It’s all over their advertising,’ Whitlock said.
He continued: ‘What are we doing? And it’s clear as day what we’re doing. They want fathers and sons, fathers and children sitting on the couch, sitting in the living room, sitting in their man caves, watching football with their sons. And they want the sons and daughters to ask, “What’s that?”
‘They want that question. They’re trying to force that conversation on all parents and all kids. And they’re going to promote that at the Super Bowl with this Bad Bunny gimmick. Can we just watch football without getting the gay thing shoved down our throat? Could we just watch football without the sexual stuff shoved down our throat?
‘It’s unnecessary, and it’s intentional.’
Bad Bunny Has a Message For His Haters
President Donald Trump blasted the NFL after Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny was selected to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, branding the move as “absolutely ridiculous” and “crazy.”
“I never heard of him,” Trump said.
“I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it, it’s like, crazy.
“Then they blame it on some promoter that they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
Bad Bunny has heard all the complaints about his upcoming Super Bowl performance, so he finally decided to speak out about it.
“Saturday Night Live” kicked off Season 51 with a message from host Bad Bunny.
It’s good to be back. This is my second time hosting and fourth time being here,” he said during his opening monologue on Oct. 4.
The reggaeton star’s stint on the show came just a week after he announced that he’ll be taking on one of the biggest stages in music: the 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl halftime show.
He appeared unfazed by the backlash as he mocked his critics in a monologue in Spanish on Saturday Night Live.
“If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn,” he said.
