ql.Actor and producer Mark Wahlberg has sparked a social media frenzy after publicly criticizing the NFL for “neglecting” country music from the Super Bowl for more than two decades.

In a recent interview, Wahlberg expressed his displeasure by pointing out that no country artist has headlined the Super Bowl since Shania Twain in 2003. He called this “a gross injustice” to one of America’s most iconic musical genres.

“Country music is part of the soul of America — and yet the Super Bowl, the country’s biggest sporting event, has largely ignored it for the past 22 years,” Wahlberg said. “Now that Bad Bunny is about to perform entirely in Spanish, I wonder: why is American music being left out of its own set?”

Wahlberg’s comments quickly divided public opinion. Many of his supporters believe the Super Bowl should celebrate musical diversity, including country music, which has a huge national audience. On the other hand, many argue that the Super Bowl Halftime Show has been and is reflecting the globalization of American culture, where audiences are increasingly diverse and multilingual.

Some critics also argue that Wahlberg’s remarks are inherently “nostalgic” and do not take into account changes in public tastes. “Music evolves with society. We can’t just stick to the same formula as in 2003,” one cultural expert said.

While the controversy continues, Wahlberg’s call has sparked a deeper discussion: Should the Super Bowl be a stage to celebrate all shades of American culture – or should it continue to reflect the global diversity of modern music?

One thing is for sure: after this statement, the NFL will find it difficult to ignore the voice from Nashville any longer.
