The Super Bowl used to be a moment that brought Americans together. Families gathered around the TV, friends had parties, and for a few hours, we put aside our differences to enjoy football, fun, and yes—even the halftime show. But in recent years, the NFL has moved away from bringing people together and moved towards division. It started with supporting Colin Kaepernick’s decision to not stand for the National Anthem. This year, the NFL thought it was appropriate to force a nation of nearly 350 million English speakers to watch a show sung entirely in Spanish. Make it make sense.
The halftime performer was rapper/outspoken ICE critic Bad Bunny. Most Americans had never even heard of him. He sang in Spanish the entire time, and the set looked like a sugar cane field. That might make sense somewhere else, but not for the Super Bowl—America’s game. This was supposed to be a celebration of football, not a lecture on globalism or forced diversity. And the American people responded. They picked up the remote and said, “Enough.”
According to Samba TV, a trusted data company, 48.6 million households watched the Super Bowl this year. But when halftime came and Bad Bunny took the stage, only 26.5 million stuck around. That’s a loss of 22.1 million viewers—nearly half the audience gone in just a few minutes. That’s not just a drop. That’s a rejection.

Let’s be clear: This isn’t about race or language. This is about values. Americans want to see their traditions honored, not pushed aside. They want performers who respect the country they are entertaining. They want shows that speak to them—not down to them. When the NFL chooses acts that most Americans don’t know and can’t understand, it sends a message: You don’t matter.
And while the NFL was busy pushing this globalist halftime show, something amazing was happening elsewhere. Turning Point USA, a pro-American group, held their own halftime presentation. And more than 25 million viewers tuned in to watch it. That tells you something. It tells you that Americans are hungry for content that loves this country. They want to see the flag. They want to hear English. They want to feel proud of who we are.
This isn’t just about football. This is about the soul of our nation. For too long, big corporations and media giants have tried to reshape America. They’ve told us our traditions are outdated. They’ve mocked faith, patriotism, and family values. But the people are waking up. They’re turning off the TV. They’re tuning in to something better.
The Constitution was written to protect our rights and preserve our way of life. Our Founders believed in a country that honors its people—not one that forgets them. The same goes for our culture. We need to protect it. We need to stand up for it. And if we don’t, we risk losing it.
So what can we do? First, stop giving your time and money to those who don’t respect you. If the NFL wants to push an agenda, let them do it without your viewership. Second, support groups like TPUSA and others who are creating content that honors this great nation. And finally, speak up. Talk to your friends and neighbors. Make your voice heard.
The American people are not invisible. We are not powerless. We are the heart of this country. And when we stand together, we can remind every company, every league, and every politician what truly matters: faith, family, freedom, and the flag.
The Super Bowl may have forgotten us this year. But we haven’t forgotten who we are. Let’s make sure they never forget again.
