DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Halftime show

Yep I watched the "OTHER" halftime show. It had zero to do with politics but I know how things go around here and it would have ended up getting moved here after a few comments. I keep reading over, and over, and over again the Lyrics to a 25 year old song I never even heard before (but don't like now that I did listen to it) What I also never did was listen to Bad bunny hell he doesn't even sing in English and I'm sure there are several on this board that I have gone round and round with on my feelings about people in this country not speaking English. I never bashed they guy because I haD NO clue if he was good or bad since I was never going to listen to him anyway, and still didn't for the Super Bowl. What my rant is about is all the people bashing Christians and witching about one song Kid Rock Sings. UMM excuse you but Kid was not the only one singing. I'm a Gabby Barrett fan,and a Lee Brice fan, and have been a Brantley Gilbert fan since long before you ever even heard of him. So what did I watch...., YEP the other half time show.

I didn't complain about the Half time show to anybody, didn't bash Bad Bunny, yet when I posted that I watched the other half time show to a few friends (who are die hard democrates) I get told by them I must be racist,and not a christian, so I went and did something to learn more about Bad Bunny since I never even heard the name before all the crap started hitting the fan a while before the superbowl. Well here are a list of his lyrics to his top songs.

After reading through HIS lyrics y'all who watched Bad Bunnies show must be womanizing pigs. Well you would be if you bashed me for liking Country Music anyway


Just when I believed
That by banging two or ten, I would forget you (Yeh)
I took a breath and left that road
And like a fool, I didn't know what I was doing
I never got over it (No), I never got over you (No)
I even learned all the ballads in English (Yeh)
I took a breath and counted to three (One, two, three)
You're the dark fantasy of Kanye West, baby, hey
Long ago what was cheap turned out to be expensive (Yih)
Now I just tweet, shooting crazy bullets (Yih)
How can we forget the times we had sex in the car?
Where do I go alone?

And sometimes it's Dolce, sometimes Bulgari
When I take it off of you after the parties
Bottles of wine, pounds of weed
You're really loose, I'm on a safari
You shake your a-- phenomenal
So I can devour you like an animal
If you haven't arrived, I'll wait for you
In my bed and I'll celebrate."

You are not a little baby, you are a grand baby
Freaky, bae, I can see it
She likes threesomes when she's high
If the boyfriend ain't no good then she throws him away
And wow, mami, tell me where should I leave the resume (Resume)
I know you left him a month ago (Ayy, ayy)
And I straight up shot my shot
If you want me to, I'll make you a baby or bring you the plan B
Uff, mami, you look so delicious
In the 2000's, she listened to RBD
And now she wants grinding all night long on the wall


I really like the Gabriela's
The Patricia's, the Nicole's, the Sofía's
My first girlfriend in kindergarten, María
And my first love's name was Thalia
I've got a Colombian who writes me every day
And a Mexican I didn't even know about
Another one in San Antonio that still loves me
And the ones from PR that are all mine
A Dominican who is a fresh hottie
Fresh, fresh hottie
The one from Barcelona that came by plane
And says that my d--- is fire
I let them play with my heart
I'd like to move in with all of them to a mansion
The day I get married I'll send them an invitation
Boy, stop that, hey


Hell they are all like that LMAO

I switched over to watching Columbo. It was a repeat, but it was good.

I mean - the last four headliners were Dr. Dre, Rihanna, Usher and Kendrick Lamar.

The thing that was unique about this show was the language - not anything about sexualized content.

I don't really care who watched what. But the entire reason there was an "alternative half time show" was political. It was nothing more than a childish tantrum. It was once again proof that every accusation the right makes towards the left is nothing more than an admission of what they themselves are guilty of. Noting screams #triggered and #snowflake more than this did.

And the comparison in their lyrics? It isn't the left who goes around making claims they are the party of family values and the "Christian right". If people are going to claim they're holier than though and that the other side are the Godless hoards, maybe it they themselves who should be trying to live up to it instead of saying "Yeah, but look at what they did."

If you're going to claim it, own it.

And no GM, this isn't directed at you but to the overall crowd that seemed so offended they felt some need to act like the only halftime show Christians and Republicans should watch was the one some political action committee put together. It's hard to have a halftime show sponsored by a right wing political group and then claim none of it was political.

He could have been singing suck my ____ for all I know I don't speak spanish LOL

I bet more people were pooping than watching either.

What's your point? This is true anytime anybody is speaking a language that you don't....

You don't have to preach to me about SOME Christians I was Jelly Roll 23 years before Jelly Roll LOL Yep a Deacon in the Church who drank, swore, smoked, wore sneakers, jeans and YES ball hats in the late 70's and early 80's.I got judged and told I was going to hell many times over. I think BOTH sides were Political moves, the Republicans are just obvious as hell about it.

THe point is. You said The thing that was unique about this show was the language - not anything about sexualized content.

Keep up here how in the hell would I know if he sang anything that included sexualized content.

I guess I'm confused - I thought your point was about the lyrics to his songs (which you translated above).

I rarely watch the halftime show either. But I usually poop first thing in the morning. I know, TMI.

Because just like you, we are from the older crowd and generally these half time shows are geared for younger audiences.

As was mentioned this halftime show had many artists performing. And all of them have younger fans. But I mean, I get it.

The NFL has to think about the future. As much as it pains us to admit it our generation won't be around much longer. As for myself I've gotten to the age that fighting the crowds and paying high prices for everything from tickets to parking to food and lodging, I rarely go to a concert anymore unless it's a special concert by an artist on my bucket list. It wasn't that way when I was a younger man.

If you combined the artists performing at that halftime show and added up all of their Grammy's, all of their streams being purchased and all of their sales to date, you would find they are some of the most popular artists on the planet. I'm not a fan of any of them. But having them put on the halftime show makes perfect sense.

On the other hand you had Kid Rock as the headliner of the other show. Someone I was also never a fan of. A man who was so triggered by a Trans person doing a promo for Bud Light on the internet he had to break out his automatic rifle and use a case of Bud Light for target practice. The man who had a photo op at The White House in what looked like a Temu knock off of an Evel Knievel outfit. I understand that there were other artists but this was their headliner. The face if it all. What a fool.

You see, I remember my dad coming to my room when I was fourteen listening to Black Sabbath. He called it noise. He said he didn't understand a word of it and asked me how the hell I could stand to listen to that. As time went on I understood that. I understood that back in the 50's they called R&R the devils music. That parents during that time didn't get the music. I understood my dad didn't get my music and I don't get rap music and some of what is popular today.

But see, just like the generations before me, I'm not supposed to. And unlike the generations before me I'm not going to attack this generation or degrade their popular music and artists just because I don't get their music. I'm not going to go along with some invented sense of outrage that make my generation look more childish than today's youth is.

I think my dad was very smart man. I learned a great deal from him. But when it comes to him understanding and liking my music, he didn't. And he let it be known. And like I said, he was just like the generation before him in that regard.

I don't get today's music either but then I'm not going to follow along with someone throwing a tantrum about it. I remember how that was when people did to my music and I don't want to be "that guy".

I have seen a few hundred posts on facebook bashing Kid Rock for nasty lyrics in a song from 2001. Yet when I looked up Bad Bunny's lyrics I had to Roll On the floor laughing. Just one black pot calling another pot black.

I think alot of people run to their corners and make a big damn deal out of this and to me it was nothing more than...

The NFL is a private group of billionaire business owners who are trying to expand their product into other markets and to other people.
That's why every weekend is a salute to somebody and there are more and more games every year in other countries and times that there where not games 15-20 years ago.

They have pretty much tapped out the US market on tickets and merch; they are trying to move their product overseas and generate even more money.

They went with a singer who has been the most streamed artist 4 of the last 6 years with just under 20 billion streams last year alone on spotify alone.

Me, I watched part of it, went to the bathroom and got some food. I didn't need to go to one side and say it was life changing or go in a corner and whine that they are bringing 15 minutes of culture into my living room.
And when he was announced a few months ago, I had never heard of him

You mean the pot that claims to stand for family values and being the "Christian Right" using a whatabout to point the finger at the other black pot that claims to be none of those things?

You see, it's about the hypocrisy involved when you claim to be holier than though. When you claim to be the one that represents Christians and family values. Not you as an individual but the hypocrites who claim they are above and better than everyone else showing they aren't that at all.

Like I said, if you are the group making such claims you own it. Don't try to use the excuse that since Johnny jumped off the cliff it's okay that you do too after you claimed to be so much better and smarter than Johnny before you jumped.

And that's what it actually amounts to. The NFL is expanding their market globally. They already had a game in Mexico and have another game scheduled this upcoming season. The NFL has expanded into South America, specifically in Brazil. Following the first South American game in São Paulo in 2024, the league committed to playing in Brazil annually, with a new multiyear deal to play in Rio de Janeiro starting in 2026 at the historic Maracanã .

This was a marketing decision. Anyone claiming the NFL did this for political reasons? They must believe that Goodell suddenly awoke from a dream being woke. That's not how any of this works.

Ah! Now I understand. I haven't seen any posts about Kid Rock's lyrics.

I think it's been a long time since lyrics at these shows were held to PG ratings (regardless of the singer), though I guess they normally censor the most extreme parts.

I don't mind the type of music featured during the halftime show... but I am also able to hear/understand small parts of songs.

I'd say I got about as much from this halftime show as I did the last couple... which is to say it neither enhanced nor took away from my enjoyment of the SB in a significant way.


I will say, I thought it was an interesting choice. I thought it was interesting how they were all "Football = America" during the pregame... and then had a halftime show that was 99% in spanish. I Also thought it was interesting that they had a bunch of boomers complain about not being able to understand/follow Kendrick Lamar's songs... and then followed that with a halftime show in another language.

Maybe I just didn't have enough invested in order to get excited or outraged... but I'd be lying if I didn't find it kinda odd.

Let me ask you this Pit. Are you the same man now as you were on your 20's and 30's? Your sounding like the stuffy old religious people your complaining about. Somebody not being perfect the day after they are saved. Just like stuffy old Christians who told me I was going to hell because I didn't follow their man made rules. Instead of the rules God told us to follow. So how are you any different ?

It was a 25 year old song that somebody on the left dug up and people starting posting it all over the place. They acted like he was singing it yesterday and guess what they did. THey got offended oh my. I think the song is garbage, but many of the folks complaining listen to rap every day that has worse lyrics.

I'm not sure what that has to do with so many republicans claiming they have the market cornered on family values, Christianity and being the party of "The Christian right" while being no better than anyone else.

We are alike in many ways. And one of those ways is neither one of us claim to be perfect. We both understand that until the day we die we are still a work in progress. I believe we both understand that Christians belong to both political parties. I don't have any problem with that. That's honest and truthful.

But that has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. I am talking about people claiming quite the opposite. That it is they and they alone who stand for family values. That they and they alone represent Christianity and Christians as a whole. I'll give you an example. trump just said he doesn't understand how any Christian can vote Democrat. Once you do that you just made claims that you are somehow superior to "the others". When groups or political parties claim they are superior and anyone who doesn't go along with everything they say belong to "the Godless hoards" I think it's time every self respecting christian should call the out on that.

I'm one of the very people they have placed that target on the back of and I'm not going to be silent when they show their hypocrisy.

Those are the very type of people I am talking about. Once you sit in your ivory tower claiming some sense of moral and Christian superiority it's different. At that point nobody should be surprised that you will be held to the standard that you yourself claim you already hold and have achieved.

Well Trump is batcrap crazy, and I agree 200 percent that nobody should claim to be superior because they are not, but that goes for Both sides not just the right.

I agree. I think each issue should be taken on in and of itself. But as it stands trump is the face of the Republican party. They had several choices of far more rational candidates to choose from all three times he won the GOP nomination for president and he was by far the winner all three times. That was a direct choice on the part of republican voters. That's why we are where we are now.

I however don't think you're any happier than I am about that.

There's another thing I think we both agree on. Common sense has left the building. Whether that's from the far left or the far right. The extremists have taken over both parties for the most part and anyone somewhere in the middle gets rejected by both parties. We are left without a legitimate choice.

I Loved his football message! He had a group behind him with flags from every country in north and south America. and his message was "Together, We Are America"
sooo USA isnt america? America is bigger than USA. He has a point.

There is a difference between liking and not liking a style of music. 60 years of Super Bowl, an American cultural event- why have a half time show sung in Spanish- 20 percent of nation speaks Spanish- why does the 80% have to not understand the whole show. I read eight different groups turned down the NFL- guess no English speakers wanted to perform. Made no sense to me- plus, if NFL is trying to keep a clean, wholesome identity the lyrics of a performer should be considered.

He is the biggest music star in the world right now. How many speak Spanish in the world?
