Is there now the best ink test for America than the reaction to Bad Bunny is a break in Super Bowl LX?
Soon after his name was announced, social networks exploded in debates on meritocracy, as if decisions of the National Football League were motivated culturally, and not commercially. Taylor Swift is the stream artist in the history of Spotify. Bad Bunny – No. 2. For the inner sports league trying to grow its popularity around the world, this is clear.
And yet, since he is Puertoorican, who sings in Spanish, conservative speaking heads should project indignation and offer the audience meaningless objections.
“It is so shameful that they decided to choose someone, who seems to hatch America so much to represent them on breaks,” said Kory Lewandowski, a long -standing trusting leader of President Trump, who is currently advising the Ministry of Internal Security, said the host of Conservation Podcast Benny Johnson. “We must try to be inclusive, not exclusive. There are many wonderful groups and entertainment that could play this show that will unite people and not separate them. ”
Assuming that Bad Bunny Hates America is an interesting look given to Puerto Ricans, US citizens since 1917. The three-time winner Grammy also has four albums No. 1 in the very American pop charts of Billboard and have already performed during a break in a Super Cup in 2020 with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira. The Federal Public Relations Commission received more than 1300 complaints about the exhibition this year, when the vast majority of parents complained about the pole of the stripper and turned women, and not the alleged hatred of the rabbit in America.
I don’t know if Lewandowski and Johnson knew something from this before they started talking, but I feel that it would still not have any importance. As soon as Lewandowski suggested that ICE will be on a super -boat – in 2024, the average price of a ticket for the resale was 8,600 US dollars – it is clear that their conversation is not about solving the problem of immigration.
It was clear that they also knew little about the history of the break.
In 2006, the Super Bowl spent in the heart of Detroit – the place of birth of Motau, – released Rolling Stones, which from London. In 2010, the Super Bowl in Miami-Dom Salsa and the Afro-Cuban jazz-Dal to us the one who … who also from England. In 2002, months after terrorist attacks on September 11, U2 – a group of Dublin, Ireland – made a show. There is a long -term precedent for non -American to catch a super -cup. Although, again, a quick lesson in geography: Puerto -Riko is part of the United States, and Puerto Rians are US citizens.
Non -Zamands, such as Lewandowski and Johnson, want English to be the second language of the rabbit – this is an accusation of his patriotism, as if a speech in English is a criterion for citizenship. It was not and never was. Perhaps, instead of using their platform, to enrich fear at a time when calm is necessary, they could see the show next February as an opportunity to grow. Because, frankly, it is so counterproductive to allow influential voices to light the country to forget about the milestones that it is already intersecting. La Bamba from Los Lobos was performed in Spanish and hit No. 1 almost 40 years ago. The only English in the hit of K-Pop “Gangnam Style” is “hey, sexy lady,” and this song made Psy an international sensation.
Instead of force people to be afraid of Spanish on a superbank, they may encourage them to spend this NFL season, studying something outside the “Gracias”. Because in this world there are people who prefer to speak English, and there are people who have no other choice. Only one of these scripts feels like freedom for me.
This was the topic of discussion in the summer of 2008 after the then. Barack Obama said this at the stop of the campaign in Georgia: “Understand this, instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English – they will learn English – you need to make sure that your child can speak Spanish. You should think about how your child can become bilingual. ”
At that time, many conservatives, such as Tucker Carlson and Lou Dobbs, used these comments not as a hint to discuss the advantages of Obama's comments regarding the formation of the United States, but as a weapon to attack him. They accused him of the divider – when several years ago Nelson Mandela said when you speak with someone “in his own language, it goes to his heart.” In fact, Dobbs said: “Instead of diversity, he talks about fractionism.” The devil that sounds very similar to the echo that we hear from Lewandowski and Johnson today.
This is not just the question of whether our children should be bilingual; It is also about being curious in the world in which we live. This season NFL has already participated in Ireland and Brazil. Mexico City is an annual event. League in it for a bag. And ultimately there will be a team based abroad, where Spanish will be heard, visiting the teams carries a passport, and Bad Bunny is not a stranger.
