Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre announced on social media that he will not watch this year’s Super Bowl halftime performance with Latin trap artist Bad Bunny.
Instead, Favre said he would tune in to the “All-American” alternative halftime show presented by Turning Point USA (TPUSA).
“I’m not familiar with Bad Bunny, so I don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to look at what I know about Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show,” Favre wrote on X.

Favre joins the growing list of political and sports figures who declare they will watch the TPUSA show instead of the official halftime show. Many conservatives, including NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson and former ESPN host Sage Steele, have expressed displeasure and concern over the NFL’s decision to feature Bad Bunny for this year’s performance due to beliefs that the artists are “woke.”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the President donald trump would be watching the “All-American” halftime show on Sunday, headlined by country/rock artist Kid Rock.

“I think the president would prefer a Kid Rock performance to Bad Bunny. I have to say that,” Leavitt told reporters at the White House press conference Thursday.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell defended having Bad Bunny as a performer.
“Listen, Bad Bunny is, and I think that was demonstrated last night, one of the great artists in the world and that’s one of the reasons we picked him,” Goodell said. “But the other reason is that he understood the platform that he was on and this platform is used to bring people together and to be able to bring people together with their creativity, with their talents and to be able to use this moment to do that and I think artists in the past have done that.
