RACING LEGEND EXPLODES: DANICA PATRICK RIPS NFL OVER BAD BUNNY HALFTIME SHOW—”SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED!”
FOXBOROUGH, MA—The NFL’s announcement that global superstar Bad Bunny will headline the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show has detonated a culture war on social media, with former NASCAR icon Danica Patrick at the center of the controversy.
Patrick, known for her candid and often politically charged views, lashed out at the league and Roc Nation’s choice, suggesting that a performer who primarily sings in Spanish has no place on America’s biggest stage. Her unfiltered comments have ignited a massive debate, accusing the NFL of abandoning tradition for “global energy.”
Patrick’s Shocking Demand: “No Songs in English Should Not Be Allowed”
The firestorm began immediately after the league confirmed the Puerto Rican rapper for the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium. Patrick took to social media to express her fury, leaving no doubt about her disapproval.
“Oh fun. 🙄 No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America’s highest rated television events of the year… not just for sports,” Patrick wrote.
The statement instantly drew a massive response, with critics calling her out for perceived cultural bias and fans applauding her demand for what they see as “American-first” entertainment.
Doubling Down: The “Demonic Marxist” Post
Patrick didn’t stop at linguistic preferences. The retired racing star further fueled the outrage by re-posting and appearing to endorse a bizarre claim that Bad Bunny is a “demonic Marxist” who has been deliberately appointed to the massive platform.
This escalation moves the controversy far beyond music taste, turning the halftime show into a political lightning rod and suggesting the NFL’s selection is part of a larger, insidious cultural agenda.
The Hypocrisy Backlash
However, the explosive criticism immediately met a fierce counter-punch from fans who quickly dug up a March social media post by Patrick herself. The former driver had used Bad Bunny’s hit single “MONACO”—a song almost entirely in Spanish—in a video celebrating her birthday.
Fans mercilessly seized on the apparent hypocrisy:
- “You bash Bad Bunny yet use his music. Truly dumb as s–t.”
- “So it’s fine for your birthday, but not for America’s game?”
The NFL and Roc Nation have stood by their decision, praising Bad Bunny for his “global energy and cultural vibrancy” and his historic ability to connect with diverse audiences. But with Patrick’s latest salvo, the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show is guaranteed to be one of the most polarizing and scrutinized performances in history.
Will the NFL buckle under conservative pressure, or will Bad Bunny deliver a performance so undeniable that the language barrier simply becomes irrelevant?
