The Super Bowl halftime show has always been one of America’s most watched moments — but this year, it’s sparking one of the biggest cultural firestorms in NFL history.
Dallas Cowboys owner and CEO Jerry Jones has made headlines after slamming the league’s decision to feature Latin superstar Bad Bunny as the headliner for Super Bowl 60’s halftime performance. Known for his bold outfits and genre-blending music, Bad Bunny’s presence has divided fans — but no one expected such a strong reaction from one of the league’s most powerful figures.
In a now-viral interview, Jones didn’t mince words.
“A man in a dress at the Super Bowl? Then stop calling it football — call it a circus,” he said. “The halftime show should represent the heart of America — strength, pride, and tradition. If Bad Bunny performs on that stage, then I’m done with what this league claims to stand for.”
Jones’ comments immediately ignited social media, drawing both praise from traditionalist fans and fierce backlash from those calling him out for intolerance. Supporters say Jones is defending the integrity of football’s biggest stage, while critics argue his remarks reflect outdated values in a modern, diverse NFL.
Insiders report that Jones has expressed frustration privately with the league’s direction, claiming the Super Bowl should focus on “the game and the fans,” not “shock value and spectacle.” Some reports even suggest the Cowboys owner considered pulling team participation from certain promotional events if the halftime lineup wasn’t reconsidered.
Meanwhile, the NFL has not publicly responded to Jones’ remarks, but the debate continues to grow. Bad Bunny’s fans have rallied online with hashtags like #LetBadBunnyPerform and #FootballForEveryone, while conservative groups have praised Jones for “standing up for American tradition.”
Whether you agree or not, one thing is undeniable: Jerry Jones has once again turned the NFL conversation upside down — and this year’s Super Bowl halftime show may be remembered for far more than the music.
