RK Dallas Cowboys captain Dak Prescott has reportedly called out Bad Bunny and urged the NFL to cancel his upcoming Super Bowl halftime performance, declaring
The controversy surrounding Bad Bunny and the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show has reached new heights, as Dallas Cowboys captain Dak Prescott publicly criticized the Puerto Rican singer and called on other NFL team captains to sign a petition demanding the cancellation of his performance contract.
The uproar began with Bad Bunny’s remarks during last weekend’s Saturday Night Live (SNL) episode. In his opening monologue, he responded to criticism about performing entirely in Spanish at the Super Bowl with a provocative statement:
“If you didn’t understand what I just said, you have four months to learn.”
The comment quickly went viral on social media, sparking millions of opposing reactions from NFL fans. In an unprecedented move, Dak Prescott—one of the most respected captains in the league—publicly condemned the statement, calling it “beyond the bounds of respect.”
Prescott spoke out at a press conference in Dallas:
“I respect music and cultural diversity, but the Super Bowl is a symbol of America. It’s not a place for someone to stand up and teach Americans to learn another language. It’s a day when millions across the country come together to share pride—not to have their patience tested.”
According to sources from Fox Sports and NFL Network, Prescott is currently drafting an internal petition to the Super Bowl committee and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, calling on other influential players—including Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs), Josh Allen (Bills), and C.J. Stroud (Texans)—to join in support.

An assistant to Prescott revealed to The Dallas Morning News:
“Dak feels that Bad Bunny has damaged the NFL’s image. He doesn’t hate anyone, but he believes the Super Bowl must preserve its American identity and inherent unity.”
The Cowboys’ fanbase and numerous loyal supporter groups on X (Twitter) immediately rallied behind the campaign, using hashtags #StandWithDak and #ProtectSuperBowl, which garnered hundreds of thousands of shares within hours.
The NFL has yet to issue an official comment, while Bad Bunny’s representatives have declined to respond. However, an insider source indicated that the Super Bowl committee is “taking the wave of reactions more seriously than anticipated.”
The story continues to gain traction, and one thing is certain—Dak Prescott has turned a wave of outrage into a powerful message:
“The Super Bowl belongs to Americans—and no one has the right to make us forget that.”
